Xie Zhaoning had been a queen, and she had thought that the years she and Ji Chengjing had spent together would always give the Xie family a stable position in the new dynasty. She married the most unfavored seventh prince and accompanied him through the most difficult years of seizing the throne; the Xie family's money helped him support his staff, and the Xie family's soldiers helped him fight the rebellion. She helped him deal with the family, win over the courtiers, and finally watched him ascend to the throne.
But in the third year after he ascended the throne, seventy-three members of the Xie family were charged with treason. His father was imprisoned, his brother died at the border, and his mother committed suicide. She was deposed and what awaited her was not a face-to-face defense, but a glass of poisoned wine sent to Fengyi Palace.
When she opened her eyes again, she was nineteen years old again.
This year, the Xie family is still alive, and both father and brother are still alive. And the man who became so powerful later is now just a down-and-out prince waiting for the Xie family to place their bets.
Everyone thought that Xie Zhaoning would be replaced by someone more worthy of support. But in this life, she does not plan to send any man to the throne again.
When the unfavored prince wanted to be emperor, she borrowed his name to get involved; when a counselor from a poor family wanted to break the family hierarchy, she gave him a way to the sky; when a general in the border army wanted to protect his soldiers, she fought for him for food and military power; when the most dangerous sword in the Imperial City Department wanted to avenge his family's destruction, she found his enemy for him.
They thought they were in alliance with Xie Zhaoning. It turned out later - she never intended to be anyone's queen.
She can give these people whatever they want. And she only wants one thing.
The world.
In her previous life, she helped a man ascend to the throne. In this life, she will help herself to the throne with her own hands.
