My Years as Empress

Cai Jiyu transmigrates into the role of empress. She works diligently and governs with great care, following all the rules. She only wants to be an empress who maintains the status quo, and even when it comes to fairness, she insists on treating everyone equally.

Once they were old enough, the two of them discussed it and hurried to have a little bundle of joy. Cai Jiyu declared, "Be jealous or feel it's unfair, whatever you like, just don't get in the way of me raising my little dragon. Do whatever you want! I'm done caring!"

After finishing his official duties, the emperor sees his sulking son and can't figure out what's wrong. He shamelessly sidles up to kiss his wife and child, then growls, "Move over a little and make room for your dad to sleep!"

The little one pouts as if he's about to cry, and Cai Jiyu hurries to comfort him.

"You promised to play pitch-pot with him, and you broke your promise again!"

Looking at the two of them, one big and one small, Li Cunye feels his heart overflowing with love. For a moment, he forgets to remind the mother and son that they should only say things like that in private. If they said them in front of other people, they'd get their bottoms smacked.

Reader advisory: In the first half, the heroine adjusts to her job as empress and wins over the emperor. In the second half, she raises their little one. The setting is an imaginary version of history.

Zhou Jingyun said goodbye to her parents and younger siblings, packed a small bundle, and hesitantly climbed into the carriage heading to the palace. She waved to them, then stepped into another world.

She'd thought it through. Not everyone gets to transmigrate, so this was clearly the protagonist's special advantage! She had to make the most of it. She would treat this transmigration and life in the imperial harem as a trip through life. Once Zhou Jingyun had gotten past that mental hurdle, she finally calmed down and began adapting to her unfamiliar surroundings.

She'd been in the palace for less than two years. How had she managed to land every single "good thing"?

The Empress Dowager adored her, the empress treated her like a younger sister, and the emperor regarded her with special favor...

Zhou Jingyun felt she had three powerful backers and would never have to worry about food or clothing. But tragedy strikes just when people feel happy. In the span of a single night, she lost everything.

While fighting for custody of her son, Zhou Jingyun hit her head and split it open. Through her blurred vision, she saw her son stumble toward her, along with the disbelieving looks of everyone around them.

Zhou Jingyun thought, My special advantage has faded. It's time for me to leave the stage. Goodbye, my boy...
