Better stats mean more updates!] Her imperial brothers rebelled, stabbed one another, and all died. Xiao Lingyi was forced to don the imperial robes and become emperor. But there was one huge problem: she was a woman! And an illiterate good-for-nothing who couldn’t even read all the traditional characters!
