The Death of the Female Chancellor

*This story was written as practice years ago and is a little rough. Check out my newer story, When All the Big Shots Were Reborn. Cui Lingjun, whose power was unmatched at court, died in her own bed. After being reborn, she insisted that the great general who had always opposed her was the one who killed her. The great general was promoted and became the Marquis of Zhenbei, commander of the empire's armies. But... why had she become a delicate young lady??? And why was she living in the Marquis of Zhenbei's residence, where women had been unwelcome for thousands of years??? The Marquis of Zhenbei, who argued with everyone and especially Cui Lingjun, even said, "I have been in love with you for a long, long time." ★Reader's Guide★ One couple across two lifetimes, mutual feelings, and an absolutely happy ending. Not a matriarchy. My historical romance, When All the Big Shots Were Reborn, is updating now. Please add it to your reading list, dear readers! Blurb: In her previous life, Grand Tutor Ning Daoyuan held unparalleled power at court. He slaughtered meritorious officials, drove the emperor mad, and humiliated the empress. He was a villain through and through. Because of her brother's death, Zhao Qinghe, commander of the Wei army, could never clear herself of suspicion. She swore to destroy both the Wei kingdom and its commander. Who could have guessed that the young general, famed for her many victories, would one day take another bride's place and enter the imperial harem, accepting all his humiliations willingly? Ning Daoyuan knew she was madly in love with his face. It wasn't until the empress shot a deadly arrow at him one day that Ning Daoyuan finally understood: She had never loved him, but he had fallen in love with her without even realizing it. Reborn to the time when she had just entered the palace, Ning Daoyuan swore to give her everything he had. He was done being a treacherous minister. * Empress Zhao Qingqing had recently noticed that the vicious young emperor was no longer violent. He used to kill people for fun every day, but now he only came to her palace to eat. The regent, Grand Tutor Ning, was also not as cold and ruthless as the rumors said. He devoted himself to teaching her to read and paint, as if they were living in peaceful times. Even stranger, the young lord Lu, her childhood sweetheart who had fought by her side and died on the front lines, was still alive. He had come into the palace to ask her to elope with him. Empress Zhao could only think how exhausting it was to deal with all these people with split personalities!!! Theme:
