After Getting Lucky and Scoring a Bargain, I'm Done For

The outline has been revised. Updates will be irregular.

Not long after transmigrating to ancient times, she was lucky enough to stumble upon a huge windfall. She was so thrilled she could hardly contain herself, happily imagining a future surrounded by three palaces full of consorts and seventy-two handsome men.

But...

The old emperor handed his crumbling kingdom over to Xiao Ya, who had transmigrated here, then promptly died and went off to reunite with his sons.

Only after becoming emperor did Xiao Ya realize she had to deal not only with the scheming of the various factions at court, but also with a kingdom weakened for years.

There was flooding in the south this time, drought in the north the next, a heretical cult rising again in the east, a vassal king plotting rebellion in the west, and neighboring countries hoping to annex them. She could barely keep one problem under control before another sprang up, leaving her overwhelmed every day.

She also had to match wits with the handsome men sent into the palace by the powerful families and high-ranking ministers, each with their own agenda. They kept pressuring her to produce an heir, and life surrounded by beautiful men was nowhere near as blissful as she had imagined.

If she didn't know how dreadful it was to be the ruler of a fallen kingdom, she would have flipped the table and walked away!
