[Reborn + Career-Driven Female Lead + Feel-Good Power Fantasy + Tyrant. The heroine is a tyrant; avoid if you dislike that! Pure wish fulfillment, so turn off your brain and enjoy! No CP, but there will be one-sided crushes; avoid if you dislike that. Entirely fictional, with no real historical setting. The author makes all the rules ₍ᵔ•ᴗ•ᵔ₎]
Everyone knew that the emperor's legitimate eldest daughter, Di Yuheng, had been kept deep in the palace. She was frail, timid, and barely interacted with the outside world, yet she was the heir the emperor had chosen before his death.
When the emperor died, the great clans paid her no heed. The legitimate princess of Dayin was nothing but a fish on a chopping board, a puppet they could mold at will.
When the Grand Tutor rebelled against the throne, she ordered his execution at Meridian Gate. One stroke terrified the entire court, and she became a ruthless tyrant in an instant.
The great clans stirred up trouble, hoarding grain, cutting off supplies, spreading rumors, and carving out their own territories, all in an attempt to undermine imperial authority.
She advanced step by step, luring the enemy deeper and gathering every piece of evidence against them.
On one hand, she established special examinations for candidates from humble backgrounds, gathering talented people from across the realm and cultivating new forces in the court.
On the other, she held court in the capital, deployed her troops, and waited for the rebels to walk straight into her trap.
The young emperor sat in the depths of the palace, using the realm as her game board and its people as her pieces.
She would cut down corrupt ministers and pacify a chaotic age. If the world looked down on a woman ruling as emperor, she would prove to all what it meant to be an emperor, and what it meant to stand at the very pinnacle!
When the heroine dies, everyone in Dayin dies🤔🤔
It looks cool, but it's too short.
