Transmigrating into the Queen of France would have been bad enough. But what do you mean I'm the wife of Louis XVI? What do you mean my name is Marie? What do you mean I'm the first queen sent to the guillotine, and people say I told them, "Why not eat cake?" I can't even...
Since I'm here, I might as well make the best of it. As Queen of France, I establish a salon for ladies, hold fashion parties, launch French royal fashion shows, and organize a world agricultural expo in France. I establish a classification system for French wines, encourage the arts, and fund education, science, culture, health, and other basic public services. I strengthen the army. From then on, the French call Marie the Empress of France, and she finally escapes the fate of being sent to the guillotine. But the winds of change rise again. The tide of capitalist revolution sweeps across Europe. What will become of France? What will become of Marie?...
I thought I was marrying a not-so-bright prince. Who knew he was not only calculating but also a doting husband who just wanted to eat, drink, and laze around?
Theme: Keep striving, defy fate, persevere, and enjoy life.
