In her previous life, a single imperial decree made Su Zhi, the famous daughter of the Right Chancellor, the third empress of an old emperor with one foot in the grave, just as she came of age.
Three years later, the old emperor died and her stepson ascended the throne, making her the youngest empress dowager in history.
With scheming old ministers in front and the regent bearing down on her from behind, she labored for this country for half her life, only to be condemned at every turn by the court censors.
Reborn into a new life, Su Zhi decides to live differently.
At thirteen, she joins the army disguised as a boy. At fifteen, she pacifies the southwest. At eighteen, she returns in triumph as the most revered general of the Great Chu Empire.
She avoids the old emperor's death and her stepson's ascension. Just when she thinks she can enjoy her "golden years," the ruthless regent who has fought her for two lifetimes is sitting quietly beside the throne, watching her.
P.S. Before her rebirth, the heroine never consummated her marriage with the old emperor.
The story of two drama queens battling it out with their wits and their courage.
