After I Transmigrated, I United the World

After transmigrating into a refugee's life and gaining a golden finger that gives her incredible strength, Xia Cheng refuses to settle for an ordinary existence. She is determined to accomplish great things! But when she finally ascends the throne as supreme ruler, her heart is weighed down by concern for all the people of the realm. More than anything, though, she wants to protect one person and stay by her side for a lifetime. The Changyang Empress belongs to the world. Xia Cheng belongs to her shijie. For Xia Cheng, traveling through time and living alone in this world would have been unbearable. Luckily, her shijie was by her side. They grew up together and stood by one another every step of the way, so she was never truly alone. For Rong Chang, Xia Cheng may be the only thing she can believe in amid these troubled times. Only with Xia Cheng by her side does her heart have somewhere to belong. The Great Zhuang Empire, a country absent from the historical record, has endured for three hundred years and is now nearing its end. The realm belongs to the ruler, and the people are numb. The royal clan reigns supreme, the great families reign supreme, the rich reign supreme, and men reign supreme. People have grown used to oppression and exploitation, used to merely scraping by, but this is wrong. Someone must stand up and shatter these ignorant traditions. An age of chaos has arrived. If we want to survive, we must fight with everything we've got! Seize power! Build a new nation where people can live in peace! P.S. The heroine isn't a good person (the cast leans toward being bad people all around). It's a brainless power fantasy, a yuri story, with a scheming founding empress as the protagonist x a dignified shijie with a scholar's integrity. Thanks to bs gugu for the art!! -------------------- Coming Soon -------------------- "Becoming Empress in a World of Lovestruck Fools" First of all, Shen Yuyao swears she never wanted to be a tyrant. Then Shen Yuyao swears that all those people calling her a cruel and tyrannical despot are just blind, and their accusations have nothing to do with her. After transmigrating into the life of a deeply beloved princess in a prosperous dynasty, she finds herself surrounded by lovesick fools. Her mother, a favored consort, spends every day scheming against the other women in the imperial harem to win the emperor's affection. Her crown prince brother defies their father for the sake of a palace maid. Her third brother refuses to eat or drink over a minor official's illegitimate daughter. Even the original owner of her body lusted after a married man and had planned to force him to divorce his wife! Their ancestors entrusted the empire to the emperor, not so his descendants could ruin it. Shen Yuyao thinks this realm cannot be left in the hands of lovesick fools. Who knows when they'll suddenly shout, "I'll take the whole realm down with me!" and get everyone killed? Shen Yuyao believes she has what it takes to be emperor, at least more so than her brothers. So she works hard, and succeeds. But why do the great noble families call her a tyrant every day? Looking at the national tax revenue, which has tripled in two years, along with the skyrocketing grain output and newborn population, Shen Yuyao thinks anyone who calls her a tyrant must have something wrong with their head and shouldn't be in office. Make room for the young! With a flourish of her brush, she orders confiscations and demotions. Even more people call her a tyrant. At the same time, though, more and more people call her an enlightened ruler. P.S. The heroine is a master of verbal sparring, a super-strong girl, and a sarcastic chatterbox. Theme: Work hard and climb to the top of life!
