Long Live the Empress Dowager [Book Transmigration]

The Great Emperor Zhaoming is a male-oriented power fantasy about the male lead, Emperor Zhaoming, growing from a weak puppet emperor into a truly unparalleled emperor.

When the male lead was young, the regent held absolute power. He not only controlled the court, but also wreaked havoc in the imperial harem.

The young and beautiful Empress Dowager resisted him to the death. To preserve her virtue and the royal family's reputation, she took her own life, dying a tragic death in Kunning Palace. It was heartbreaking.

Lin Zhi woke up to find herself transmigrated into the unlucky Empress Dowager, forced into the role. Even worse, the Empress Dowager had already turned down several of the regent's invitations.

Lin Zhi: "This is bad..."

Having died and come back to life, Lin Zhi wanted to find a powerful ally. But the overpowered young emperor, who ruled the world in the book, was only seven years old. When he came to pay his respects, he recited a passage from a book the regent had just taught him in a childish voice. It didn't look like she could count on him.

After much thought, Lin Zhi decided that, to save her own life, the only thing to do for now was to humor the all-powerful regent, then make plans gradually.

After washing and dressing, she said to her personal maid, "Tonight, I will have a candlelit discussion with His Highness the Regent and consult with him on matters of state."

The Empress Dowager's decree was delivered to the imperial study. The attendant scholar, unsure of its meaning, opened it as usual and read it aloud, word for word.

The regent: "?"

The assembled officials: "..."

The regent was so flagrantly treasonous that he not only monopolized power at court, but even intended to lay hands on the late emperor's harem. His actions were utterly perverse, and everyone should rise up to execute him!

Yet not one person dared to remonstrate in open court, for fear of bringing harm upon themselves and endangering their families.

The regent came to his senses, took the letter from the attendant scholar, and read it. His expression was cool, but there was a hint of amusement in his voice. Seeming rather intrigued, he said to those present, "The Empress Dowager has graciously invited me. I, your servant, shall obey her decree."

At first, the fake Empress Dowager, Lin Zhi, humored the regent. When she realized that he didn't seem to have that sort of intention, she relaxed a little. At least she wouldn't have to sacrifice her virtue.

Later, the regent's invitations seemed to come more and more often: lanterns at the Lantern Festival, flower viewing in the third month, dragon boats in the fifth month. Lin Zhi really wanted to refuse, but she couldn't resist the temptation of going out of the palace for some fun.

Finally, Lin Zhi suddenly realized that the regent seemed to be seriously plotting how to marry the late emperor's Empress Dowager, in other words, herself, with the full formal process of matchmaking and betrothal.

Since ancient times, emperors had taken their ministers' wives, but no one had ever heard of a minister openly taking the Empress Dowager, who was The Outcast and second only to the emperor.

But this man was the regent. No one could stop him from doing what he wanted.

Lin Zhi: "Help..."
