From Wandering Outcast to Empress of Great Yan

From Exiled Outcast to Empress of Great Yan tells the story of Zhang Ruoxi, the legitimate daughter of her family, who is framed by her half-sister Zhou Xinyi and her fiancé Wu Haoxuan. Accused of disobeying her elders and theft, she is sentenced to exile. Along the way, she suffers humiliation at the hands of the guards and attacks by her enemies. On the brink of death, she activates a comeback System and gains the Eye of Truth and supplies for survival.

Trapped in the Northern Wasteland exile camp, Zhang Ruoxi refuses to accept her fate. With her keen observation, cleverness, and the System's abilities, she sees through one scheme after another and holds her own against all kinds of people, from corrupt camp officials to the scheming Wu Haoxuan. She exposes the embezzlement of food and supplies and other abuses of power in the camp, and rallies the mistreated exiles. While fighting to survive in dire circumstances, she gathers evidence in hopes of clearing her family's name.

Along the way, she and Wu Haoxuan, a man with a complicated background, continually clash and test each other, gradually forming a complex bond. Zhang Ruoxi plans her every move, building her strength in the cruel land of exile and breaking through one desperate situation after another. From an exiled woman condemned to be trampled by anyone, she fights her way to a stunning comeback and ultimately ascends the throne as Empress of Great Yan.
