She is an executive at a Fortune 500 company, independently oversees a business worth tens of billions, is stunningly beautiful, and has sky-high emotional intelligence. After accidentally hitting her head, she transmigrates into the wife of Mo Han, the Great General Who Guards the Nation. Shen Yingyue: "Great. Where do I go to pick up my general?" The servants sobbed: "The general just died in battle. His body is not even cold yet. Please, Madam, take charge..." Overnight, the general's residence fell from grace, and everyone trampled on them. Shen Yingyue frowned. "The word 'bankruptcy' isn't in my dictionary!" Developing talent is a prerequisite for growing a business! Her brother-in-law dallied among the flowers and loved painting beautiful women, but people looked down on him. Shen Yingyue: "You're quite good at painting. The girls you paint all become top courtesans. Why not try painting the map of our dynasty?" Her sister-in-law practiced with swords and spears and behaved boorishly, drawing mockery from the noble ladies. Shen Yingyue: "Miss, wasn't the person who cried after getting beaten up last time your brother?" Her young nephew was timid and cowardly, bullied by bad people and too afraid to speak up. Shen Yingyue stepped forward and smacked the bully across the face! "Did you see that? Next time, hit back like that." A year later, Mo Han, the Great General Who Guards the Nation, who was supposed to have died in battle, suddenly returned. His brother, remembered as a frivolous wastrel, had become a powerful minister at the height of his influence. His sister, remembered as crude and overbearing, had become the dynasty's first female general. Even his quiet, refined little nephew came at him with a wooden sword. "Don't hurt Auntie!"

Ning Wanqing, a top lawyer earning a million a year, was sitting at home counting her money when she suddenly tripped and transmigrated into the Crown Princess of Jing. She thought she would enjoy the good life alongside the Crown Prince and simply wait to become empress. But the court officials were overbearing, the princes eyed the throne hungrily, and the regional kings were making their moves. They clashed at court at every turn, and the Crown Prince's old illness flared up from anger, forcing him back to the palace to recuperate. The throne was in danger of slipping away. Ning Wanqing sneered: There is no argument I can't win! The eldest prince was the Empress's son, yet he had not become Crown Prince. The eldest prince, full of resentment, said, "How can the son of a mere concubine compare to me?" Ning Wanqing smiled. "Your birth is nobler than the Crown Prince's, yet you still weren't made heir. Shouldn't you be the one reflecting on yourself?" The eldest prince's face immediately turned livid. The Crown Prince wanted to hold special imperial examinations to recruit talent from across the land, but the stubborn Minister of Personnel knelt in front of the Eastern Palace and shouted, "If Your Highness does not rescind your order, this old servant will kneel here until I die!" Ning Wanqing said leisurely, "Since the Minister of Personnel insists on kneeling, I have no intention of stopping him. But the Ministry of Personnel cannot go a day without a leader. Which esteemed courtier is willing to step forward and take charge?" The Minister of Personnel fainted on the spot. The Crown Prince wanted to reclaim the tiger tally, but the Great General claimed his headaches were severe and kept putting it off. Ning Wanqing personally visited the general's residence, her face full of concern. "General, you have suffered! His Highness has been worried day and night, too. I know a little medicine. Why don't I personally treat you with acupuncture? Someone, bring me a hundred silver needles!" The Great General broke out in a cold sweat. "There's no need to trouble the Crown Princess. This subordinate is already much better! I'll go get the tiger tally at once..." Ever since Ning Wanqing entered the Eastern Palace, everyone there walked with their heads held high, and the Crown Prince's health improved day by day. Even more mysteriously, calamities kept befalling those who had made things difficult for the Crown Princess! The eldest prince had an affair with a consort, the Minister of Personnel was embezzling and breaking the law, and the Great General was lining his own pockets... Everyone said, "You can offend anyone you like, but never offend the Crown Princess!" Even Ning Wanqing was baffled. Is my mouth really that poisonous!? The Crown Prince, recuperating in bed, let the corner of his mouth lift slightly. His gaze deepened as he said in a low voice, "Qingqing's words aren't poison. They're prophetic." Bonus Scene: Seeing the Crown Princess help the Crown Prince gain power, a regional king was deeply displeased and advised the emperor, "His Highness is virtuous. He should take two more secondary consorts to help and serve him! Surely the Crown Princess is broad-minded?" Knowing that jealousy was a grave taboo for women in this dynasty, Ning Wanqing hesitated over how to respond. But the usually taciturn Crown Prince said, "I am currently acting as regent for Father, so state affairs must come first. Unlike my royal uncle, who can spend every day in the company of beauties... Oh, and my royal uncle is getting on in years. He really should take care of his health." The regional king's mouth twitched again and again. Everyone stared wide-eyed. When had the kind and gentle Crown Prince become so sharp-tongued!? Pre-release 2: The Princess Is a Drama Queen! Li Hanyu transmigrated one day and became a Grand Princess of incomparable beauty and grace. Everyone thought she was the apple of everyone's eye, but only she knew the truth: her imperial brother doted on her so that one day he could offer her to some old man from a barbarian tribe! If that's the case, then she might as well make a scene! The imperial consorts fawned on her and asked for help winning the emperor's favor. Li Hanyu: "Lately, my imperial brother has felt inadequate, and seeing women puts him in a bad mood..." As a result, all the consorts kept their distance from the emperor. The princes and nobles wrote poems to profess their love, hoping to win the princess's favor. Li Hanyu: "Do you have nothing better to do? Don't you know that if you draw a salary from the emperor, you should share his worries?" As a result, memorials on government affairs piled up in the emperor's study, and he worked late every night. A minister talked at length, trying to persuade the princess to marry into a foreign kingdom. Li Hanyu: "My lord, your daughter is at the perfect age. Why not make her a princess too, and have her marry with me?" The minister hurriedly withdrew, saying nothing. Li Hanyu hated these self-righteous people. The only person she liked at the princess's residence was Qing Chi, her favored male companion. Everyone pitied Qing Chi, who had to deal with the drama queen princess every day. But Qing Chi said, "The princess is the best woman in the world." On the eve of her political marriage, Li Hanyu drank herself seven-tenths drunk. With alluring eyes, she crooked a finger at Qing Chi. "Come here..." The next morning, she kicked him out of bed, put on her wedding dress, and climbed into the carriage bound for her marriage. Clutching a dagger, Li Hanyu planned to kill the brutal, bloodthirsty tribal khan on her wedding night. But as the bridal veil was lifted, she met Qing Chi's deep, dark eyes. He smiled with wild abandon. "Your Highness... were you planning to kill me?" Pre-release 3: After Marrying the Sickly Prince to Bring Him Good Fortune Bai Qianqian inexplicably transmigrated into the marshal's daughter, a woman of unparalleled beauty who was engaged to the Crown Prince. When her father and eldest brother suddenly died in battle, she became an orphan from a noble family overnight. After hesitating for half a month, the Crown Prince finally handed her over to his sickly second brother, Li Mo, claiming he was painfully giving her up so she could bring good fortune to his brother. On their wedding night, Li Mo lifted her veil and said, "I'm sorry you've been put through this." Bai Qianqian smiled. "It's not a loss. You're much better-looking than the Crown Prince." Everyone said that the Second Prince, Li Mo, was gravely ill, and waited to see Bai Qianqian become a widow. Who could have guessed that Li Mo would gather troops, depose the Crown Prince, and seize the throne! His moves were swift and ruthless, and everyone lived in fear and bowed to him. In less than a year, he smoothly ascended the throne. The deposed Crown Prince watched as the woman he had once abandoned stood beside the new emperor, now the most honored person in the world, and spat up three mouthfuls of blood on the spot. Reclining on the couch, Bai Qianqian looked puzzled. "Weren't you... frail?" Li Mo smiled. "What do you think?" Message: Everyone has potential.
