Baili Shan transmigrated into the body of a timid princess in the Dayong Dynasty, where the emperor was a puppet. She was already married to the regent, who was not of the imperial family, and had become a broken-down princess-consort whom anyone could bully. Her System told her that if she got herself killed and brought down Dayong, she could return to the modern world and inherit trillions in assets.
Then why should she hold back?
If you don't like it, fight me!
The empress dowager is controlling the court? She'll curse that old hag to her face and then put her under house arrest.
The Duke of Zhenguo's household is withholding her things? Then she'll loot the entire estate and knock every last one of them flat.
The great clans hire the top assassin organization to kill her? Sorry, she's got the System backing her. She can wield a red-tasseled spear in each hand and cut through three hundred elite assassins in half an hour.
They force her into a political marriage? Perfect. She'll take down the other country while she's at it.
Her father says the treasury is empty? Easy. Just raid a minister's home. If one isn't enough, raid two. If two aren't enough, raid them all.
Baili Shan thought that after causing so much trouble, she'd surely manage to get herself killed, while the great clans joined forces in rebellion and brought down Dayong.
But strangely, why did the people support her more and more?
Why did the army keep rallying to her, wave after wave?
Then, wait, why did her father voluntarily abdicate?
How did she become empress?
How did she become an emperor for the ages?
What happened to bringing down the Dayong Dynasty as promised? How did she end up unifying the realm?
And you, you know who you are. Weren't we supposed to get a divorce? Why are you shamelessly clinging to me, using both faux-innocent tricks and seduction? What are you after!
