This novel isn't well written. I don't recommend reading it.
In the second spring after Ji Sang sang transmigrated here, the Immortal Court of Zhongzhou issued an edict: it would gather all 19,763 candidates descended from true dragons and phoenixes across the Three Realms, Ten Directions, and Seventy-Two Wilds, then select and train the eleventh Empress.
From that day on, all candidates who met the age requirements had to go to the Immortal Court of Zhongzhou for the examinations.
Ji Sang sang: A... a massive “Shining Star” reality-show audition?
Later, after round upon round of screening and elimination, the Immortal Court was left with four candidates: three men and one woman. The woman was Ji Sang sang.
Everyone thought: Well, the Ji clan girl of the Eastern Wilds has the empress's seat locked down. Now we just have to see who gets the throne.
Ji Sang sang: Sorry to interrupt, but I'm actually running for emperor.
