I Became the Empress Dowager and Took Down the Love-Brained Fool of an Emperor

[Strong female lead + court intrigue + raising an empress + taking down a scoundrel]

Xiao Wenxiu transmigrates into the body of the founding empress dowager of the Great Chu dynasty.

It should have been the perfect position to enjoy her retirement, but unfortunately, her son is a foolish emperor who would rather die than give up on love!

The scoundrel of a son is willing to do anything for a concubine who fakes illness and bats her eyelashes.

He plans to depose the general’s daughter who became empress, the woman who fought beside him on the battlefield and defended their country.

He is even prepared to cede three border cities just to make his beloved smile!

Xiao Wenxiu laughs in fury. “I helped the late emperor win this realm, and you’re using it to appease your mistress?”

She produces the late emperor’s edict in open court, while eight hundred imperial guards surround the Golden Throne Hall.

“Since the emperor has taken ill in the head, he is confined to the Cold Palace as of today! I shall rule from behind the curtain!”

She helps the humiliated empress to her feet and settles the adorable little princess on her lap.

If her son is beyond saving, so be it. She will raise a decisive, ruthless empress herself!

As for that simpering concubine? Send her to the border to marry into another clan and experience the hardships of ordinary folk!
