The Self-Cultivation of a Powerful Backer

The Grand Princess Yuyang was going to die. Their family's throne had only just passed to the second generation, and there were only two members of the family left. Her nephew, the emperor, was just three years old. She still had to act in his stead, rule from behind the curtain, and secure this splendid realm for the young ruler. She didn't want to die. She couldn't accept it. The Grand Princess Yuyang came back to life. She accepted a bargain with the spirits, returning from the underworld to the world of the living. For five years, she would secretly back four unfamiliar men, helping them climb to the pinnacle of life through their own hard work. The key phrase: their own hard work. Grand Princess: "Someone, that what's-his-name is taking the imperial exams. Tell the chief examiner to name him the top scholar." Maid: "???" *Smack!* The health bar above the Grand Princess's head dropped by a big chunk. Grand Princess: "I've reconsidered. Don't bother. Let him make his own way." Maid: "..." 1. The four men each belong to a different kind of story: a melodramatic revenge novel, a reborn legitimate son novel, and a cozy farming novel. 2. The heroine is neither reborn nor transmigrated. She's beautiful, strong, and ridiculously perfect. No System. 3. The male lead is set. One-on-one, happy ending.
