In her previous life, Zou Changyue was a noble empress, deeply favored by the emperor. When Taijing fell, the rebel army pillaged the city, burning, killing, and looting. When the news reached the emperor, he didn’t hesitate to end Zou Changyue’s life.
After she died, her soul drifted to the Princess Royal’s residence, where she witnessed her birth mother, Princess Royal Pingnan, being publicly humiliated as punishment.
Reborn, she used the emperor’s favor to influence his resolve to depose the crown prince. After the emperor deposed him, he appointed another son as crown prince.
The new emperor died not long after ascending the throne, leaving her as the empress dowager in control of the state. With Li Yujun protecting her, she brought the tottering Great Wei back onto the right track.
