The Great Jing Dynasty has stood for three hundred years. Within its borders, imperial authority is waning, vassal princes rule their own territories, and corrupt officials hold sway at court. Beyond them, the Northern Di and Western Qiang watch hungrily. Aristocratic clans control the government and monopolize official posts, while ordinary people struggle just to survive.
The original owner of the body is Shen Qingci, the least favored Princess Yong'an of Great Jing. Her birth mother died young, her father, Prince Jing, is cold and uncaring, her stepmother treats her cruelly, and her half-sister is hypocritical and vicious. In the capital, everyone sees her as a good-for-nothing.
The modern-day Shen Qingci is a top student in political science and law with dual degrees as a special forces soldier and military doctor. After an accident, she transmigrates into the body of her namesake, a good-for-nothing princess. From then on, she defies fate, tears apart her scheming half-sister, gets a grip on the cold-blooded prince, stirs up the court, and protects the people of the realm. From a good-for-nothing everyone despised, she grows into a legendary female ruler with power over all under heaven, excelling in both letters and arms.
