The Great Zhou Empress

[The main story is complete. For the next story, We'll Ride the Wind and Break the Waves Together [Showbiz], please visit the author's profile and add it to your collection.]

This is a story about rising from nothing, from palace maid to empress.

The couple are equally matched: a high-IQ empress and the princess regent of a neighboring kingdom.

Xue Zhijing, a top student in modern economics, transmigrated after a plane crash into the unfamiliar Great Cheng Dynasty, where she became a low-ranking palace maid. She nearly fell victim to a eunuch's assault, but thanks to her high intelligence, she won the favor of Yuan Hanzhang, the noble consort serving as regent, and became her trusted right hand. The two grew to share a bond like family.

With the dynasty in turmoil and a neighboring kingdom exerting pressure, Xue Zhijing was swept into the tide of history. After enduring a degrading life as a slave in the neighboring kingdom and falling passionately in love with Xiao Liege, its fiery-tempered princess regent, she narrowly made it back to the Central Plains. She became a pillar of strength in an era of national crisis, and, tempered by blood and iron, rose from the flames to become an empress whose legacy would shine through the ages, her heart as vast and profound as the stars and the sea.

Zhu Beihe went through several excruciatingly awkward encounters in front of Bai Lan, who, with her laid-back charm, told her she was very cute.

Born into a family of performers and able to tap into many resources, Zhu Beihe deliberately created plenty of opportunities for the two of them to work together.

When the lively and spirited 18-year-old Jiang Ya'er was sorting through her mother's belongings, she found some peculiar photographs. Suspecting that her mother had a secret lover, she followed the clues and tracked down Han Jia, a reserved sociology PhD. Jiang Ya'er had never been one to lose, but she kept hitting dead ends with Han Jia, and soon fell for her.

The two grew closer while teaching at a school in the mountains and taking part in an outdoor survival program. Later, they accidentally survived a plane crash and were stranded on a deserted island. After seven days of trying to survive there, they finally got together.

Jiang Ya'er learned from Han Jia that her parents had divorced long ago but kept it from her for the sake of her and her younger brother. Her mother had even given up a great deal of her own life to care for her, and had also given up Han Jia. Through all this, Jiang Ya'er grew from an immature, impulsive child into an adult, while Han Jia began to open herself up and learn to live better.
