[Transmigration into an alternate world + a garbage System, regent prince x second prince who disguises herself as a man]
Nangong Zishu opened her eyes to find herself sitting on the Dragon Throne, surrounded by ministers gathered for court.
Who would have thought that after being hit by a piece of garbage, she would transmigrate into the emperor?
What’s done is done. Mandated by Heaven, may the dynasty endure forever.

“Rise, my esteemed ministers!”
Everyone in the hall stood frozen in silence. “Why does not a single one of you have anything to say?”

The ministers all knelt and bowed, making way for the Regent.
Nangong Zishu cried out inwardly. I’m doomed! I’ve landed the role of a puppet emperor!
An hour later, the Regent had her by the collar, kneeling before the gravely ill emperor. That was when she learned she was actually the dimwitted second prince...
And she had a biological mother, driven mad and locked away in the palace.
From her mad mother, she learned that she was also a princess of the former dynasty, and that her mother had secretly gathered an army for her, hoping she would restore the dynasty!

She had no idea that someone was closing in on her from behind, step by step.

One day, Nangong Zishu secretly met with the former dynasty’s hidden agents.
“My lord, we’re all here, and we’ll follow your orders!”
Gu Shengsheng watched them, her temples twitching.
A burly man holding a dumpling wrapper and mixing the filling cried passionately, “I’ll stuff him to death with delicious dumplings!”
A middle-aged woman still sewing in her hands declared indignantly, “I’ll stab him to death with my needle!”
A big sister rocking three children in her arms declared with conviction, “I’ll raise the next generation to infiltrate the enemy!”
Behind her, the Regent murmured, “Beg me, and tomorrow I’ll put you on the throne.”
“...”
