I Inherited the Throne and Took a Husband (Matriarchal World)

The former emperor died on the very day he married his consort. With a wedding and a funeral happening at once, Liang Xia, the crown princess who had just been found and brought back to inherit the throne, was completely bewildered.

She'd gone from an ordinary person to the new emperor all of a sudden???

In the rear palace, Liang Xia couldn't take her eyes off Shen Junmu, the refined and handsome young man standing nearby in a bright red phoenix robe, dressed as the emperor's consort.

He was so handsome, exactly her type!

Court attendant: "Your Majesty, why don't you...?"

Liang Xia pointed at herself, a little embarrassed. In the end, she couldn't refuse the earnest urging, so she reached out and took Shen Junmu's hand. "Then I'll get started."

Court attendant: "???"

Shen Junmu: "???"

The court attendant nearly choked. "I meant, go keep vigil for the late emperor! Keep vigil!!!!!"

Liang Xia: "...Oh."

She'd thought they meant she should inherit her husband's services and hold the wedding her late, not-quite-real mother had missed.

She thought the misunderstanding was over, but it was only the beginning. The emperor had taken a liking to Shen Junmu!

Shen Junmu couldn't take it anymore when the new emperor used "building their relationship" as an excuse to touch his hand. "Your Majesty, please behave with dignity!"

Liang Xia clutched Shen Junmu's hand and suddenly misheard him. "What did you say? That I can do as I please? That wouldn't be right..."

Shen Junmu: "...You win."

(The male lead has no connection to the female lead's mother. There is no wedding ceremony between them, and he was never entered into the imperial family register, so they are not family. These details were originally explained later in the story, but I want to emphasize again that there is nothing improper about this. The female and male leads are not related by any difference in seniority. Thank you.)

In a dream, Liang Xia saw the future: the dynasty was destined to fall in ten years, and a heaven-sent female lead would rule the land.

None of that had anything to do with Liang Xia, a lazybones. But the dynasty belonged to the Liang family!

Yes, she was the unlucky emperor who would lose her country.

If the dynasty was doomed to fall, she might as well enjoy herself!

The former emperor had just died, and tens of thousands of people were supposed to be buried with him. Liang Xia waved a hand. "Cancel it all!" (You treated me badly, so I'm not giving you what you want!)

The tens of thousands: "Long live our emperor!"

Liang Xia: "?"

The Yellow River flooded, and it happened to be time to spend money celebrating the new emperor's accession. Liang Xia didn't hesitate. "We're not holding the celebrations!" (I'm too socially anxious anyway. Perfect excuse.)

The flood victims: "Long live our emperor!"

Liang Xia: "??"

There was a folk legend that a note would be found in a fish's belly, announcing the arrival of a new ruler. Liang Xia thought it over. "Bring her to the palace. I'll watch her work." (If you can do better, be my guest.)

The female lead, who didn't want the job: "Long live our emperor!"

Liang Xia: "???"

Liang Xia did so many unconventional things in her life. The one people criticized her for most was marrying Shen Junmu, who had once nearly become her father's consort.

Liang Xia didn't think it was her fault. He was simply too tempting, and it was perfectly normal for a woman to lose her self-control.

After all, the whole realm belonged to her now. What was one man, by comparison?~

(The male lead has no connection to the female lead's mother. There is no wedding ceremony between them, and he was never entered into the imperial family register, so they are not family. These details were originally explained later in the story, but I want to emphasize again that nothing has changed, and there is nothing improper about this. The female and male leads are not related by any difference in seniority. Thank you.)

[Light ensemble cast. Some supporting characters transmigrate into a book and have Systems, so they come from the modern world to the ancient setting.]

[The story goes premium on July 15. Please support the official version and help build Great Liang~~~]

[A new experiment. Hope you enjoy it.]

[Male pregnancy, matriarchy, both leads' first and only partners, no gender equality.]

[As one reader put it: a world saved by a pantheon of gods, and a dynasty full of holes, with the female lead at the center of it all.]

[The female lead is the strongest, in both brains and brawn: a sweet rice ball with a black sesame filling.]

[The male lead is the most obedient, both in combat and in getting tricked by the female lead: a pure white bun through and through.]

[It's okay if you don't like it, but please don't attack me. Thank you. (Bows.)]
