[Empress + System + comeback + court intrigue/infrastructure building + ensemble cast + daily life + food]
After transmigrating into the body of an incompetent empress, she inherits a complete mess. The System tells her, “The fate of the nation is directly tied to your lifespan. Current life expectancy: 30 days.”
What does it mean when the national treasury has only 300,000 taels of silver? Drought, military supply shortages, construction of a palace...
What’s it like when the ministers treat her like a lucky charm?
Why is her eldest imperial brother attracted to men? Why is her second imperial sister obsessed with romance? Her third imperial brother is a martial arts master... but simple-minded? Her fourth imperial brother is frail and sickly...? Her fifth imperial sister is a poor blind girl...? And what about the eighth...?
What’s there to fear?! I brought experience with me! The harem causing trouble? Dock their pay, make them copy scriptures, and lock them in the Cold Palace! Corrupt officials making trouble? First raise them up, then take them down and cut off their escape routes, until they jolt upright from their deathbeds and curse themselves: “I’m such a piece of work!”
But Imperial Uncle... He’s an elder! How can I... How can I be plotting something improper with him?! An Imperial Uncle is an Imperial Uncle. He can’t be my husband!
I haven't seen the back yet, but as of now, it is indeed abstract at times, but also very structured. The heroine baby wants to go home and help her go home 🤭 🤭
