   Ahem [top post] 1. No cp, no weird female protagonist, Gong Douwen, the princess and the time-traveling girl join forces to conquer the world, and finally the female protagonist ascends to the throne. 2. The system mistakenly bound the heroine, who was originally bound to the emperor's true love "who died in a different tomb and was not recorded in history books" [note]. There is no romance in the group portrait, and the heroine's daughter becomes the crown prince and participates in the competition for the throne. The system comes from later generations. Later generations criticized the heroine for being a demon queen because she allowed her daughter to fight for power after her second marriage. [Pout] Later generations are more feudal than the heroine's dynasty (oh, I didn't mean to be ironic about the large number of people in the Qing Dynasty now) [Working on draft] 3.
