My Throne and My Empire Are Inseparable

According to unofficial histories, Emperor Jianwu Qin Xu was poisoned by the Empress and his consorts working together. After his death, the empire fell apart, war broke out everywhere, and the people were plunged into misery.

The Empress said, "Your Majesty lost only his life. I, on the other hand, lost love."

The Noble Consort said, "Your Majesty once said that if you ever betrayed me, you would atone with your life."

The consorts said as one, "If Your Majesty can't give us love, then you can just die."

Emperor Jianwu: "I've worked diligently for decades, poured my heart and soul into the empire, and risked life and limb for it. Don't try to pin this on me."

Their love was gone, and so was my empire!

The reborn Emperor Jianwu: "Get away from me!"

The eldest daughter of the Zhao family was renowned for her talent, but as a woman, she could only enter the palace as Empress...

Emperor Jianwu: "I never restrict my appointments by gender. If you're talented, you can serve me."

The daughter of Duke Zheng was a superb martial artist with the makings of a great general, but as a woman, she could only enter the palace as Noble Consort...

Emperor Jianwu: "The Xiongnu are causing trouble at the border. Miss Zheng, you can lead troops there and defend the frontier alongside General Chen."

The Zhao family's eldest daughter: "Love? Isn't serving the people a better choice?"

Miss Zheng: "Love? Isn't building a career and earning glory much more worthwhile?"

Emperor Jianwu: "My empire and I must never be separated, not even for a moment!"
