Crowned Queen for the Second Time

He was a heaven-blessed prodigy, crowned emperor at fourteen. He cleansed the court and pacified the frontiers. Two years later, he held supreme power. Four years later, he put new policies into effect. That same year, the emperor married the Gu family's only daughter, and peace reigned across the land. Two years later, unrest stirred at the borders. A year after that, the Gu army returned victorious, but two of the Gu family's generals had fallen in battle. Grieving for her father and brothers, Empress Gu died of sorrow. Meanwhile, the new general remained steadfastly loyal and won one great victory after another. Ministers and commoners alike praised the young emperor to the skies!

Few remembered the Gu family as it slowly declined. Their long-awaited fortune had been within reach, but they had no chance to enjoy it!

Three years later, in a border town, she sold cosmetics and made a little money, living a carefree life. But then she picked up an amnesiac man, and trouble began!

Good heavens! So things like human-skin masks really exist! Can an emperor really just wander around whenever he wants...? Don't try to fool me, I'm from the modern world! If I'd known you were the big boss, I never would have brought you home!

Ahem... I'm just a college student from the modern world. One little car accident, and I became the Gu family's precious daughter, then the empress! I never wanted the Gu family to become so powerful that it threatened the throne! I never wanted to be empress, either! And then I met an emperor who's so cunning, full of schemes, and ambitious. I'm at a loss. Fine, you want a clean government and centralized power, don't you? Then my whole family will put on a grand show of sacrificing ourselves for the country. Happy now?
