The Legend of Zhengyuan

Jiang Zheng, a modern orphan who is good at disguise, did not die after his accidental death. Instead, he was reborn as the only daughter of two great generals in the current dynasty with complete memories of his previous life. Since her birth, she has attracted the attention and fear of countless people. She is regarded as an anomaly by the royal family and various forces, and she is also cultivated as the most perfect heir to power. With wisdom and decisive methods that surpassed her times, she took charge of the family at a young age and overcame obstacles along the way to reach the pinnacle of power. Her legendary deeds are widely circulated: she used the empty city strategy to defend Shuizhou and defeated the enemy without fighting. He set up a trap to kill the leader of Yan State and annex its territory. In a bloody coup, she went through eighty-three assassinations in twenty days but was killed again and again. Finally, she conquered the enemy, wore a yellow robe, and became a generation of empress. After ascending the throne, she liquidated old enemies, eradicated evil spirits, and even used an exquisite suspended animation to trap and kill a mysterious opponent from the "original world". At the age of thirty-six, she gave birth to the crown princess Jiang Xingchao, and the empire had a successor. Sixteen years later, Lin Ziye, an orphan from the Yan Kingdom, took pains to seek revenge. He led her and her confidants into the "zombie" forbidden area in the Yan Kingdom's hometown, and activated an ancient formation that can drag people into the illusion of inner demons. Jiang Zheng and his companions went through many tests, uncovered the illusion, and finally killed Lin Ziye. From then on, she managed the country and brought peace to the country, and her life went smoothly until her death. Her soul returned to modern times as she wished, and her daughter Xu Xinchao successfully inherited the throne and continued the glory of the empire. However, the "consummation" of all this is a cruel scam that has lasted for thousands of years. Jiang Zheng is not a simple "traveler". Her soul has been trapped in the "All Things Reincarnation Array" set up by the last great mage of the previous dynasty. This array can capture the deepest obsessions of the deceased, such as Jiang Zheng's desire for power, family love and a perfect life, and weave an almost perfect fantasy reincarnation based on his memories and desires. The magnificent life she has experienced, from time travel and rebirth, rising to become emperor, eradicating opponents, giving birth to an heir, and defeating the last avenger, are all scripts that the formation constantly deduces and cycles based on her personality and subconscious. Every "end of life" and "return to modern times" is just the beginning of a new cycle. The formation will subtly adjust details such as the identity of the enemy and the form of the challenge, but the core context remains unchanged, aiming to allow her to indulge in the satisfaction of constant "success." The so-called "Lin Ziye, the orphan of the Yan Kingdom" is nothing more than an "advanced level" generated by the formation in one of her cycles to increase authenticity and challenge. The huge sense of accomplishment brought by successfully breaking the situation deepened her identification with the fantasy. At a certain point in the countless cycles, Jiang Zheng may have an extremely small and recurring flaw, such as a palace lantern that never burns out, a childhood song that should not occur, and many other unrealistic events, which continue to breed, making the heroine believe that she has broken through the illusion again and again. In fact, this is a game within a game, and the mage can hardly restrain the heroine, so some plot settings tend to be unrealistic. Or perhaps at a certain moment of "returning to modernity", you feel a sense of discordant emptiness, and then you begin to doubt the authenticity of the world. The real story will begin when she detects the cycle and tries to break the formation. It will be a counterattack against fate itself that is completely different from all her previous "emperor achievements". The real her has actually experienced countless reenactments, and she always carries her memory with her. Intention: Breaking the game is not the end, taking control is.
