No! I Have a Throne to Inherit!

Sorry, this story has been updating very irregularly because the serial has been going poorly. I apologize to all my readers and bow to you. Ji Pei transmigrated into the imperial family. Her father was falsely accused of treason, her whole family was trapped in their residence, and her mother had no choice but to die to prove her innocence. If she had to reach the pinnacle of power to survive and take revenge, then she would help her father ascend the throne and become Princess Ji Zhipei of Great Zhou. * Emperor Wu was wise and mighty, his power reaching across the four seas. He was so famous that history books still celebrated him. He had only one flaw: he doted on his daughter. He doted on her so much that everyone in Great Zhou knew it. When the princess turned fifteen, the whole capital began worrying about her marriage: One candidate was the legitimate son of a powerful clan, heir to three centuries of aristocratic heritage, refined and handsome, with a gift for letters. Another was a tall, handsome imperial guard general, renowned for his martial arts and personally granted a marquisate by His Majesty. And another was this year's third-place exam graduate, whose carriage was so crowded that vegetables and fruit piled up around it... The problem was, Ji Zhipei didn't want to marry any of them! She just couldn't understand. Her family had an imperial throne, so why did she have to marry like every other woman? Everyone told her that a woman's fate was to marry. To marry was to make a home with her husband. Her husband's family would be her home. Even if she was born into the imperial family, the palace was not where she belonged. How could a woman refuse to marry? Even if she was a princess, even if the emperor doted on her. How could a woman meddle in imperial power? Even if she was a princess, she was still of imperial blood. Ji Zhipei rose up in rebellion, only to be exiled three thousand li from the capital. * If reaching the pinnacle of power is the only way to control my own fate, then I'll flatten mountains and rivers and defy heaven with my own hands, even if the road ahead is strewn with thorns and soaked in blood!
