Engineer Meng Shiyuan collapsed at work from exhaustion. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself the widely acclaimed regent.
The nine-year-old emperor was useless and temperamental. Though still very young, he was already spoiled rotten, showing the first signs of becoming a foolish, tyrannical ruler.
Meng Shiyuan looked at the little emperor, who had been deliberately raised to be useless without realizing it and was still quite affectionate toward him, and thought for a moment.
Then he gave the little dragon emperor a thorough beating.
From then on, the little emperor no longer saw his once-kind and doting imperial uncle as anything but the most terrifying person in the world.
Later, this imperial uncle, the regent, made a grand spectacle of marrying a woman even more terrifying than himself.

Fang Nianwan, daughter of the Defender-General, had a notorious reputation even while she was still unmarried. Everyone said the Fang family's precious jewel was unconventional, fierce and jealous, and incapable of tolerating others. She had talent, beauty, and a noble family background, but her character was lacking, so she would never find a good match.
Unexpectedly, after she married the regent, Fang Nianwan became even more famous than she had been as an unmarried woman.
A gifted woman, an extraordinary woman, a shrew... There were plenty of rumors about her, but no one dared criticize her anymore. That was because her husband was Meng Shiyuan, the regent. He let her make a name for herself throughout the world, and chose to spend his life with her alone.
Is a woman without talent a woman of virtue? The noble young ladies of the capital all sneered at the idea. Can't you see? The fiercest and most independent woman of them all is the one most cherished by her husband in all the land! Women should stand on their own!

The little emperor let out his usual wail: "Imperial Uncle! What do I have to do for you to be satisfied?!"
"Hurry up and finish your training so I can return power to you," Meng Shiyuan said coldly. "Do you think I want to spend my time with you instead of my princess consort?"
The little emperor: "..."
