In her previous life, she was a priceless gem hidden beneath dust, married far away to a frontier general. Her twin sister became the Crown Prince's favored consort, yet even she couldn't protect their maternal family from slander and disaster. Worse, she was swapped into the palace to die in her sister's place.
In this life, she would go to the heart of the power struggle and face the mastermind pulling the strings. She would win her father and brothers the prestige of an illustrious family of imperial in-laws. Let her see who dares lay a hand on the Shun family now!
So she put aside the Four Books and Five Classics, and cast propriety and shame to the wind, seeking to ingratiate herself with the incompetent, benighted master of the Eastern Palace. But when she finally met this troublesome man, she discovered he was magnificently handsome and tirelessly devoted to governing the realm. Step by step, she lured him into her trap, helped him purge the court's entrenched abuses, and stood by him as a young emperor ruling over all beneath Heaven. Before long, she couldn't help wanting all of his love for herself.
But how could the ruler of all beneath Heaven, possessed of the whole realm's wealth, give his heart to just one woman? He wanted her to submit and be gentle and graceful, and he wanted the praise of the eight directions and tribute from every nation.
The court was full of treacherous schemes, and the inner palace seethed with hidden currents. The true Son of Heaven pursued his grand ambitions and ruled by the royal way, sparing no cost to achieve them.
And she was only a tiny stroke in the picture.
At last, she awoke from the trappings of romance.
"What's the point of being empress?
I, Shun Hua, will be Empress Dowager!"
[This is the first book]
[The upcoming This Empress Is Done is the second book]
The political scheming and court debates take up a slightly larger share.
The inner-palace power struggles are almost nonexistent.
Theme: Be gentle, but be strong.
Why hasn't it been updated yet?
Finally reconciled(*`ω?)
So the male protagonist is still the husband from his previous life, right? I feel like this prince is not a good one~
I like it, I like it very much recently.
Very good, very good ~ just update quickly.
It's very smooth and refreshing, hahahahahahaha
It's okay, it's a bit shady, a bit like an ancient sadistic novel, but overall it's pretty good.
The big text is very loving.
Come on, come on (*??*)
