After Taking the Throne, I Found the Empire on the Brink of Collapse

Zhen Yu ascended the throne as an infant. From the moment she learned to speak, she was taught how to be an emperor. By the time she came of age and began ruling in her own right, she discovered that

there were men dressed as women in court, conspirators lurking around her, rebels raising their banners in the countryside, and neighboring countries eyeing them covetously... On top of that, natural disasters struck one after another, the treasury was empty, and public resentment was mounting.

The Yu Dynasty was on the verge of collapse.

Zhen Yu: Tsk. If I can't be a carefree goddess, then I'll govern with all my might.

And so, she went on to...

Put down internal rebellions, pacify neighboring states, clean up officialdom, strengthen the military, abolish backward customs, and enrich the people.

As for the man dressing as a woman, you, come here.

The first time Zhen Yu saw him was in court.

His vulgar makeup, painted in garish colors, made anyone who saw him want to look away.

The second time she saw him, he had been drugged and sent to her bed.

The beauty's voice trembled, but he still threatened her: "I would rather die than serve Your Majesty."

Princess Bai Yu was named crown princess. Despite all the controversy, she was destined to become the world's first empress. But before she could take the throne, the State of Jiang was destroyed.

The emperor and empress died for their country, and Princess Bai Yu was taken to the enemy capital to marry the enemy nation's Ninth Prince.

On the way, they were ambushed. Three men explained to her why they had to kill her.

One said, "To protect the honor of our country..."

Another said, "So she won't stand in the way of our cause..."

The third said, "For the people of the world..."

Just as they were in grave danger, chaos descended upon the world, and the dead rose again.

The zombies were here.

In troubled times, a heroine's true nature shines through.

Please check out my upcoming story: "After the Emperor and His Beloved Cat Switched Bodies"

The puppet emperor Jiang Mi fell into a lake while boating. Hovering between life and death, she switched bodies with her beloved cat, Bai Mi.

To keep people from becoming suspicious, Jiang Mi had no choice but to pretend to lick her paws.

With Jiang Mi's body, Bai Mi could eat and sleep as much as she liked, bask in the sun, and even tear off her clothes and climb trees with wild abandon.

Her most trusted attendant said, "This humble servant has failed. Next time, I will make sure the emperor is thoroughly dead."

A powerful minister teased Jiang Mi, whose soul was in Bai Mi's body, with a peacock feather, making her chase it back and forth. "The emperor is more useful when she's stupid. Find her an empress, let her have a little emperor, and she can be my puppet for another eighteen years."

Jiang Mi: "..."

#I was so shocked I almost ate my own paw#

Lin Tuizhi, the general's son, was forced to enter the palace and become the foolish emperor's empress.

On their wedding night, he was tied to the phoenix bed, unable to move. He could only watch as the foolish emperor pounced on him, licking and rubbing her face all over his.

He wept in humiliation. A white cat with patches of color leapt onto the bed. The foolish emperor let him go and cuddled up with the cat, sleeping happily together.

Lin Tuizhi: "..."

#Later, I won the emperor's heart by petting cats#
