The Empress Just Wants to Resign

Her family forces Qin Shu to become empress, but she sees the throne as a prison. Outwardly dignified and virtuous, she secretly stokes feuds among the emperor's favored consorts, fuels the princes' succession struggles, and even spreads rumors about the emperor's health, throwing the court into turmoil... The emperor fumes, "Do you want to be Empress Dowager that badly?" She smiles and hands him her "Early Retirement Plan."
