Ming Yu transmigrated into a male-oriented novel as a cannon-fodder female character.
The regent had built up his own army. The male lead, a crown prince, endured humiliation under his control. Once he took the throne, the first thing he did was exterminate the regent's entire family.
As the regent's daughter, Ming Yu's fate in the book was summed up in a single line: "To demonstrate his benevolence, the young emperor sent his youngest daughter to the enemy state as a hostage, but did not wipe out her entire family."
Looking at the bleak life her character was destined for, Ming Yu decided to set herself a small goal first...
Usurp the throne.
Everyone's shared opinion of Ming Yu, the regent's youngest daughter, was that she was kind and mediocre.
Thus, in the eyes of the world:
When she eliminated a threat from another state while still a hostage, it was because her bodyguard was clever and resourceful.
When she concealed her identity and quickly distinguished herself in the army, it was because her strategist had far-reaching vision.
When she became powerful enough to dominate court politics in just a few short years, nearly restoring the regent's former glory, it was because the emperor doted on her out of consideration for their childhood friendship.
In short, she knew nothing at all.
She was pure and innocent, kind and blameless.
She was the purest little white flower in the capital.
It wasn't until Ming Yu calmly entered the Hall of Precious Splendor with a long sword in hand that the young emperor, who had always thought her a fool, failed to understand what was happening.
Amid the blood covering the hall, she cut down the last Imperial Guard with a single stroke.
Then she approached the pale-faced young emperor on the throne, step by step, smiling. She gently pressed down on the back of his trembling neck and whispered in his ear:
"Your Majesty, I'm staging a coup."
