Shen Zhaoning spent seven years accompanying Pei Xingzhou, a down-and-out scholar, to become a powerful minister step by step. She made money for him, paved the way, and won over people's hearts, but what awaited him was that he returned to Beijing with his new love and asked her to give up her position as his head wife.
The whole city was waiting to see her cry for mercy, but she handed over her resignation letter in public, taking away all the dowry and eighteen staff.
On the night of the reconciliation, she was chased and fell into the arms of the regent Xiao Chengyuan.
This man, who frightened the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty, put the military talisman into her palm and asked in a low voice: "Is this the king's employment with the country and the country, is it enough?"
Shen Zhaoning thought that this was just a deal where everyone got what they needed. She used his power to rebuild the Shen family business, take charge of the secret army, and find out the truth behind the destruction of the whole family; he used her strategy to purge the court and pacify the world.
It wasn't until her ex-husband knelt in the rain begging her to turn back that the regent finally became red-eyed and pushed her against the door: "You can use me, but you can't leave me."
Later, Shen Zhaoning took charge of the military and had overwhelming power over the world. The ministers forced her to hand over her power and retreat to the harem, but Xiao Chengyuan took off the imperial crown in public.

"If this country cannot accommodate her, I will accompany her to build another country."
Compact and creative
