Baili Muzhao was born under an auspicious sign and was appointed Crown Princess the moment she was born.
She loved extravagance and was a frivolous, pleasure-loving rogue, leaving the ministers angry but afraid to speak up.
One day, Baili Muzhao set her sights on Xiao Yan, the most handsome man in the land. She finished writing an imperial edict granting him to her in marriage that very day, then had a nightmare that night: she dreamed of a book.
The book said she was a transmigration mission girl, and her task was simple: she only had to go from Crown Princess to Empress.
The book also said she was a hopeless romantic who had failed her mission eighteen times because of men.
Baili Muzhao: “...Impossible! Absolutely impossible!”
So the book spirit could only show off her glorious track record:
First time: She fell for Xiao Yan, the most handsome man in the capital. After forcing him into marriage, she was killed at the age of fifteen.
Second time: She became infatuated with a slave from another country. Three years later, the slave became a Crown Prince, and she was eventually poisoned to death on the bed of a foreign Crown Prince.
Third time: She switched souls with Shen Qinghuai, an unlucky scholar. She supported him until he became Chancellor, only to end up deposed.
Fourth time... Baili Muzhao couldn't stand to hear any more. She couldn't accept that she was so stupid.
The book spirit couldn't stand it either. She wanted to kick this idiot Host to the curb, but unfortunately, her Host had powerful connections. After much reflection, the book spirit decided to change the mission this time to “fall in love properly.”
Baili Muzhao wasn't having it. She had the book spirit remove her romantic feelings and swore that this time she would become Empress!
Later, several men cornered her and demanded to know why she was so heartless.
Baili Muzhao sneered. “Heh. Do you think I'd believe you?”
Content warnings:
