At the moment of despair, An Lingrong didn't eat the dish of bitter almonds. A cat that could speak like a human leaped in and knocked them over. An Lingrong was startled, but what the cat said shocked her even more. The cat could talk! It told her she didn't have to die, that she could live, and live very well. She might even become emperor, not just empress dowager. An Lingrong was stunned and couldn't believe it. The cat told her it came from the modern world, and that, depending on how An Lingrong behaved, it would periodically produce modern items to help her. Guided by the calico cat, An Lingrong gradually expanded her way of thinking until she finally understood that she had no fundamental conflict with the other women in the harem. If she became emperor, all those problems would be solved. If even the empress dowager was subordinate to imperial power, why not become emperor herself? Watch An Lingrong turn the tables and rise to become the sovereign of the empire!
