In the fifth year of the Great Xia era, a tyrannical ruler governed without restraint, slaughtering loyal ministers. A wicked consort brought ruin to the realm and drove the empress to her death. The regent rebelled, and the whole realm rejoiced. The wicked consort was executed, and the tyrant took his own life.
That was the plot of the previous life.
After the empress died, she was reborn. She abandoned the ungrateful tyrant, cherished the regent who went mad for her, befriended the court officials, suppressed the tyrant, and brought down the wicked consort. She forced the tyrant to "voluntarily" abdicate and be imprisoned until his death. She then became a wise empress alongside the regent, a wise ruler.
That was the plot after the heroine was reborn.
No matter which ending you choose, the unlucky tyrant-and-wicked-consort duo met a pretty gruesome end.
Chen Jiangyue had transmigrated into the tyrant.
Chen Jiangyue: ...Sorry, did I laugh too loudly?
With the attitude that if she was going to be unlucky, her sworn enemy could be unlucky too, Chen Jiangyue didn't hesitate to write her rival's name in the box for requesting a teammate.
She thought Xu Jinguang, dignified and elegant, the "model of a well-bred young lady" as Chen Jiangyue liked to call her, would adapt to this era even better than she could. Instead, Xu Jinguang performed a sultry dance, dressed in a revealing women's outfit, and flirtatiously winked at her.
Chen Jiangyue: Why did transmigrating into a book change her tastes too?
An idea came to her. Chen Jiangyue lifted her rival's chin, speaking in a teasing tone. "Well, you're quite pretty. What brings you here, little beauty?"
Xu Jinguang looked shy and coy, her voice sweet and seductive. "I have come to serve Your Majesty, of course."
Chen Jiangyue conceded defeat: She was no match for that level of shamelessness!
*
The heroine was reborn. She thought she would face a chaotic court and a murdered family, and that she would use her talent to improve things and fight back against the tyrant and wicked consort's abuse.
In reality, the court officials were obedient, her father and brothers were safe, Great Xia was thriving, and even the regent was gradually changing his opinion of the tyrant. He had even started competing for the tyrant's affections.
The heroine: ? Wasn't this supposed to be a reborn Mary Sue heroine's story? Why did the tyrant and wicked consort suddenly see the error of their ways?
Chen Jiangyue: Don't drag me into this. I'm busy with a full-on reform program. Printing and the compass are on the agenda, cement roads are next, and we absolutely need the imperial examination system, guns, hot pot, and soap!
The heroine: ...I guess I can't get my revenge, but the hot pot is delicious. Hey, you! His Majesty belongs to everyone, so don't hog him!
