The late emperor died in the prime of his life, and the new emperor ascended the throne at the age of three. With the two empress dowagers ruling from behind the curtain and a prince regent holding power, the two palaces appeared equal on the surface. In truth, however, most of the powerful ministers and generals gravitated toward the Western Palace, where the new emperor's birth mother resided.
The Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace, Wen Zitong, felt her position was precarious. To avoid being sacrificed in the struggle for power, she gave up the fight early on.
So she indulged herself in wine and women, behaving as outrageously as she could to show how incompetent and degenerate she was, and how little she cared to govern.
And yet... she still couldn't save her own life. In the end, she was poisoned.
One thing did bring her comfort: as she lay dying, she witnessed the woman of the Western Palace suffer the same fate at the hands of Prince Kang, Li Xuanqian!
She thought it was a case of one villain turning on another. But when Li Xuanqian approached with heavy steps, gathered her body into his arms, and slowly shed two lines of tears, Wen Zitong was stunned...
Reborn, Wen Zitong decided she would no longer fight for power in the palace. This time, she would observe the rules of decorum and virtue, and set out to be a woman cherished and protected by her husband.
On their wedding day, before the wedding candles, she gazed serenely at Li Xuanqian. They said a beauty seen by candlelight was a sight to behold, and it was true. She praised him from the heart: "My lord truly is as bright and noble as the moon."
Li Xuanqian tilted his head and lifted her chin. "Compared to those little eunuchs you kept in the Eastern Palace, how do I measure up?"
Wen Zitong felt a bolt of thunder crash through her ears...

"Eunuch!"
"Sissy!"
"Not a man!"
Cen Qingchen, the Chief Eunuch of the Eastern Depot, accepts every insult hurled at her by the world without the slightest shame. After all, she really isn't a man. She is a woman.
It's a pity that the supposedly sharp-eyed men of the previous dynasty spent their whole lives gathering evidence to bring her down, yet failed to catch her in the biggest lie of all, allowing her to live freely for years.
If her ambition hadn't grown so great, if she hadn't seized the emperor to command the nobles and sent the Yan army to conquer cities across the land, forcing the six kingdoms to unite against Great Yan, she would not have died pierced by ten thousand arrows.
So she died. She'd had a good run. But who could have guessed that the King of Hell wouldn't take her, instead sending her wandering soul back to her homeland?
Homeland? Hadn't it perished along with her?
To her astonishment, Chen'an Prince Wei Heng, once an otherworldly man who kept out of worldly affairs, had become the God of War of Great Yan. Under his protection, not only had "the mountains and rivers remained, the realm unbroken," but "the six kingdoms' armies had fallen like a landslide!"
The land was unchanged, the people were unchanged, but she was no longer herself. She had become Cui Shizhan, a country girl from a little mountain village...
A victorious general who dotes on his wife without restraint x a troublemaker who courts her own death
[Little scene]
One day, after drinking too much, Wei Heng looked at Cui Shizhan strangely. After a long pause, he blurted out, "A Yao..." (The Chief Eunuch's childhood name.)
Cui Shizhan's heart skipped a beat. He recognized her even like this? She gave an awkward smile. "My lord is drunk. That person died long ago, pierced by ten thousand arrows."
Wei Heng's drunken air vanished, and he regarded her sternly. "How do you know whom I mean?"
Cui Shizhan froze, then wished she could bang her head against a wall! Her childhood name had been given to her by her master. Ever since she had disguised herself as a man and taken over the Eastern Depot in her previous life, it had been a secret. The moment he'd mentioned it, she'd identified herself with it, giving herself away...
As she fretted, a question suddenly occurred to her: how had Wei Heng known about it?
Theme: The emperor and empress stand together, loving both the realm and their family
In the end, the female protagonist is really pitiful. She can only go away wrapped in the quilt of her beloved. And even such a quilt was not given to her by her lover, just out of kindness.
Hahaha, the male protagonist is very jealous. He was jealous in his previous life and even drove them out of the capital. You are really merciful.
Where is mother in Wen Mansion?
Where's the brother? Where is my sister-in-law?
In the beginning, I clearly hated the female supporting character, and even though the whole family was destroyed in various tragic situations in the finale, I still hated her. But I felt a little sad when I saw the extra story. Hey, she seems to really love the male partner. However, in the later stage, the male partner is also an infatuated person, and only the heroine is the only one in his heart and eyes.
