The Empress's Destiny

After transmigrating as Yao Jingyue, the legitimate daughter of a high-ranking minister of the Great Wei Kingdom, she crossed her legs and calculated what her future life would look like.

The original novel seemed to say she would marry the Crown Prince, become Crown Princess, then Empress, and rule the world from the palace, only to... die unjustly in the cold palace.

She flipped the table on the spot: You can keep that blessing! Want it?!

On the eve of her wedding, she turned the tables with a clever ploy. She pretended to be framed by her half-sister and captured by bandits, then promptly set herself up as their leader and claimed all the freedom the martial world had to offer. She led the charge in robbing the rich to help the poor, and she didn't neglect flirting either. Life was going splendidly.

One day, her bandit underlings brought up a handsome young man with striking features whom they'd abducted from below the mountain. She had admired him for ages, and just as she was about to make an improper move, her gaze caught the cinnabar mole over his heart

Wait, isn't this the new emperor from the original story, the one who ultimately carved his way to the throne through blood?!

She quietly rubbed her hands together. “Honestly, I don't need a bandit chieftain's husband. What I need is... an ancestor...”

In the end, Yao Jingyue still couldn't escape her fate of becoming empress. She was brought to the imperial bedchamber in a phoenix crown and red wedding robes. The handsome young man licked his cherry-pink lips and smiled with a raised brow. “What happened to making an improper move like you promised? I've been waiting so long.”
