Synopsis
Li Xi was the least notable princess of the Great Wei dynasty. She lost her mother when she was young, ended up in the palace's women's quarters, and was raised by the palace servants.
Then, through sheer luck, she became the first female emperor in history.
The entire court thought that a woman with no power base would obediently serve as a puppet. But...
One day, long afterward, the pure and harmless emperor looked up and saw all her ministers trembling.
The emperor: Don't be nervous. I don't eat people.
The ministers: But you really do kill people!
The emperor smiled faintly.
So you know. Then I won't pretend anymore.
After retiring and becoming the retired emperor, Li Xi decided to erect a monument to commemorate herself. For this, she specially summoned her most important ministers to discuss it.
The Grand Secretary said: It should record how Your Majesty applied practical wisdom to govern, advanced education and culture, abolished slavery, dismantled the power of the great clans, and put the court in order, bringing peace and prosperity to the people.
The general said: It should detail how all lands submitted to Your Majesty and every nation came to pay tribute, how You defeated powerful enemies, expanded the borders, crushed the enemy's strongholds, and established a foundation without precedent in history.
But the retired emperor thought that her achievements did not belong to the past.
They belonged to the future.
The monument would endure through the ages, bearing her name, her daughter's name, and her daughter's daughter's name. The imperial legacy would continue without end, until even the monument could no longer hold them all...
When she arrived, she was trapped in a dark night.
A dark night belonging to half the people in the world alone.
But she summoned the light, and from then on, the night changed hands.
A hundred years later, a child passing by innocently asked, "Can men become emperors, too?"
The new emperor replied matter-of-factly:
"Of course not."
She ascends the throne from the start! The heroine pretends to be weak while secretly being formidable, though the story isn't interested in her pretending to be weak. It mostly focuses on her crushing the formidable.
Reader notes:
1. Aside from the heroine's love interest, the main characters are all women. A light ensemble cast.
2. The heroine is the smartest character in the story. The strongest character and the most powerful character at the beginning are not the heroine, but both are women.
3. The love interest is Wen Xun, a real eunuch, and they had no connection in their previous lives. Romance takes up a relatively small portion of the story.
(For a detailed version of the reader notes, see the author's note in Chapter One.)
*Recommended next book: The Scumbag Woman Who Can't Be Won Over [Quick Transmigration]*
Yan Fei died, killed by that wicked woman Zhi Ming.
His only wish before he died was to live a long life next time and never run into her again.
But not only did he fail to get a next life, a nonsensical System sent him to the place closest to her.
Before he died, he was Zhi Ming's secret lover.
Now he's the wife who is about to join her on a reality show about divorce.
System: Host, you can only keep living if you max out her affection for you.
Yan Fei: ...So as the other man, I have to personally help her get back home?
Zhi Ming, listening in from the shadows: Interesting.
Ten thousand years ago, the Dao Lord who ruled heaven and earth made a bet with the imprisoned Ghost Emperor. If he could change her heart over the course of several reincarnations, she would give up her cultivation and return to the celestial court.
The Ghost Emperor readily accepted this seemingly disastrous gamble.
The Dao Lord thought he was the only one wagering his own fate, never realizing that he was actually wagering the very order of the Three Realms...
The underworld ruled by the Ghost Emperor, Zhi Ming, is the only matriarchal society in the Three Realms. It shelters countless female infants, wives, and mothers who met tragic ends...
One day, she wondered: Why not let ghostly energy spread throughout the mortal world, raise the Yellow Springs thousands of feet high, and unleash a flood of tears to overturn the Three Realms, turning them into a blood-soaked tomb beneath their feet?

Ending and spreading flowers 🎉 It is normal for the author to write a book for the first time and not be able to fully control the narrative. I did feel a little conflict and separation between Zhao Ru and Wen, but it was not a big problem and I could feel what the author wanted to express at the end. As a novel, it is not suitable to give so much highlight to the character that the author wants to criticize. The disenchantment of Wen has been completed before the CP love line, but the description of the love line adds another layer of filter to Wen, so it feels very contradictory, and it is easy for people to suspect that the protagonist is a love brain. Overall I think the writing is very good, I think it surpasses most of the novels I have read before 💪 I like this book very much and look forward to the next work
I don't know why such a cp is set. No cp, multiple gametes, and a single harem plan love brain cp are all good, but why only a garbage man? If he is a villain, he should be a villain. We all know that using it to conquer the poor is an excuse. The emperor hopes that the gametes will lose their power and stay in the harem or hide underground.
Would it be more appropriate to use the term "ancestor grandma" for the eldest brother, or "grandmaster lao lao" (lao lao and grandma are synonymous)? Because the children of Hua Jin are all girls, in matrilineal inheritance, it is still generally called grandma [bixin]
It is understandable to write a design to counter the narrative of sexual fate, but in my personal opinion, when its illusion is exposed, the match can die. It is best for the heroine to decide to cut off the past and promote/show the transformation of her thoughts. If this is the case, it seems that the heroine has always liked it and has never broken the sexual relationship, but in the end her daughter made a request. She valued her daughter (and the inheritance passed down by the empress) more, so she chose to give up the "lover". Overall, she tends to be passive and lacks the autonomy to change her mind... I hope the author's next book will have a better design, come on
Grandsons are good, so are daughters.
Wow, the extra chapter was updated today, and it's just the same. I'm looking forward to 🤩. I feel that many time travel books are said to be female videos, but this book is the story of feminist sisters after time travel, and it brings together the achievements of hundreds of years of women. Let's see how the author handles emotional lines hhh
Many men started their careers this way, and none of the women they relied on were rewarded well. The women who did this were probably young, ignorant, arrogant and arrogant.
I have read a study, which involves the late Qing Dynasty. Women with bound feet had to work as "sellers" and had to work in the fields, but men did not have to because the men owned the land. Even the wives of landlords had to work in the fields, but the landlords did not.
Is equality without bloodshed really equality under the gender war?
Come on, write it, no matter what
