[Powerful female lead and political intrigue + ensemble cast + emperor's card-drawing System]
[This isn't a game-themed national destiny story. It refers to the Great Qi's national destiny value, deeply bound to the heroine. The focus is on making money in troubled times, people's livelihoods, infrastructure, and securing the state.]
[The world is rotten. Romance can wait.]
Ling Shu dies from overwork and transmigrates into a fictional dynasty, becoming the last empress of Great Qi, a country on the brink of collapse.
Rebel forces surround the imperial capital, the realm is on the verge of falling, and the man she once cherished has raised a sword and rebelled against her.
The officials look on coldly. Everyone is waiting for her to be defeated and die, then be buried with the fallen dynasty.
At this desperate moment, the Emperor's Card-Drawing System awakens.
Spend imperial might to draw virtuous ministers and mighty generals, obtain supreme treasures, and increase national destiny.
She will cut down the rebels, purge treacherous officials, and reclaim every inch of the shattered realm with her own hands!
The world condemns her as a woman who usurps the throne and mocks her for being a woman who rules over men. They sneer at her scandalous private life.
Ling Shu simply smiles and lets it pass.
A refined but broken consort, a cold and taciturn general who guards the nation, a peerlessly clever and stunningly beautiful Imperial Tutor, a proud and flamboyant heir of a noble family...
They are the ones begging for her affection. What has she done wrong?
The officials kneel and plead through their tears: The dynasty is about to fall. Your Majesty, please sacrifice yourself for the state!
Ling Shu raises her eyes, pride and defiance burning in them:
"The country will fall? Never. I want this realm, and every handsome man in the world!
If you object, then raise an army and try to take it from me. I'll be waiting."
