As the legitimate daughter of a great clan, Wang Zhixu was betrothed to the Crown Prince from childhood.
But when she was seventeen, the Crown Prince made a public spectacle of breaking off the engagement, insisting on marrying the daughter of the Minister of Rites as his Crown Princess.
The court was stunned, and the capital erupted in commotion.
"Your Wang clan is full of wolves with ambition. How could I possibly marry a scheming woman like you?" the Crown Prince said, holding his Crown Princess close, his eyes filled with faint irritation.
The smile at the corner of Wang Zhixu's lips did not change in the slightest. After all, the Crown Prince and that woman were both fools.
The foolish never live long. It was a lesson her grandmother had taught her when she was young.
*
"Miss, the Crown Prince and I truly love each other. You people are products of a feudal society, and arranged marriages decided before birth are simply barbaric." The woman spoke earnestly, clutching the Crown Prince's hand and refusing to let go.
Then she turned to the Crown Prince and sighed.
"This world is so unfair. Why are there such huge differences between these clans and ordinary people? Everyone should be equal."
The Crown Prince agreed. The woman smiled and promised, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I'll help you deal with these clans. As long as the clans exist, the people of this world will continue to be exploited."
Wang Zhixu shook her head, smiling at the woman's naivete. After all, the Crown Prince she loved was himself a product of the feudal society she claimed to despise.
Everyone knew that the imperial family of Dongyue owed its kingship to the support of the four great clans. Wang Zhixu was eager to see what would become of the Crown Prince if he insisted on fighting them.

No outsider had ever set foot in the clans' territories. If they saw what was happening before them, they would be astonished.
The people lived in harmony and goodwill. Every child could attend school, and everyone had enough clothes and food. Their lands were even better governed than those ruled by the imperial family.
Wang Zhixu held a dagger as she and the clan members surrounded the imperial palace.
"You! You swore you wouldn't seize power and usurp the throne!" The emperor's eyes nearly bulged from their sockets. The members of the imperial family behind him were all terrified out of their wits.
"So His Majesty does remember that we once swore an oath." Wang Zhixu stepped into the snow. The smile that used to curve her lips had disappeared.
"Our clans have never coveted the throne. Why, then, have you continued to slaughter us?"
Wang Zhixu raised the dagger in her hand high, and her words reached everyone present.
"When the ruler orders a subject to die, the subject has no choice but to die. But Your Majesty has forgotten one thing."
"We are not your subjects."
Blood stained the ground. Wang Zhixu personally killed the emperor before everyone's eyes. The entire court rose up in defiance, shouting that they were loyal only to the Chu clan and would recognize no one else.
She reached back and pushed the man behind her to the front of the court. Raising her chin, Wang Zhixu asked calmly, "Does he have the blood of the Chu clan? Is he qualified to sit on the throne?"
*
After ascending the throne, Wei Chengyun was bombarded with petitions from a gaggle of old ministers every day.
They contained nothing but accusations about the Wang clan's conduct that day, the Chen clan's conduct the day before, and so on.
Ever since the clans had turned against the imperial family, the officials at court had grown deeply wary of them, fearing another bloody purge of the palace.
Seated in the great hall, Wei Chengyun spread his hands and said helplessly, "I'm a puppet emperor. The clans can read your petitions, you know."
After that, the petitions never mentioned the clans again.
When they learned that their emperor intended to marry the legitimate daughter of the Wang clan, the ministers rushed into the palace and knelt in a row.
"Your Majesty, you must not!"
"Your Majesty, what if they seize power and usurp the throne after you marry into the Wang clan?"
Wei Chengyun waved a hand. "Don't you refuse to support them? Do you think they can really massacre the entire capital?"
"But, Your Majesty, any child you have with a Wang clanswoman will bear the surname Chu. What if the Wang clan kills the father and keeps the child?"
"Kill the father and keep the child?" Wei Chengyun paused.
Thinking he had successfully persuaded the emperor, the old minister burst into tears. "Yes, Your Majesty! Please think it over!"
*
Who knew that night their beloved emperor would immediately have a carriage driven straight to the Wang clan's residence?
Holding the woman, soft and fragrant as jade, in his arms, Wei Chengyun's eyes were full of tenderness. He coaxed the person beneath him in a husky voice. "A Xu, A Xu, how about giving me a prince?"
"Those ministers said to kill the father and keep the child. I think that's a wonderful idea."
"Once the child is born, I'll abdicate and let him handle all those court affairs on behalf of his parents."
"After that, we can return to our ancestral lands or travel across the country. A Xu, as long as I'm with you."
Reader's guide: 1. Both leads are virgins, happy ending.
2. One supporting character transmigrates. This is a story in the transmigration-to-ancient-times genre.
3. The second female lead has a hidden identity. The blurb is a fabrication.
4. The clans in the story are not aristocratic families. They are the outstanding members of the common people and have always been on the people's side.
5. Since the blurb presents only one side of the story, many things that are hard to explain here are clarified in the story. Please read the story before giving the author feedback, dear readers ^o^
Theme: The only person who can confine you is yourself, and only you can break free of that confinement.
After reading the copy, I found that the heroine is so powerful, why would she want to promote a man to be the emperor, and even pretend to give him a child to pass on the throne to the parents to be cool? The female counterpart in the control group is indeed naive and stupid. The royal family and aristocratic families are all feudal exploiting classes, and she actually wants to rely on men to achieve equality. . . . Still consider yourself a pet
After reading the introduction, isn't it a routine operation for an emperor to cut down a clan? ... Either you die or I die. If the heroine can succeed in her rebellion, doesn't she also have to undermine other clans? Any idea of co-ruling the world can only be found in dynasties where weak and incompetent people cannibalize people and the world is in chaos. In the clan class, there is not only Huang Chao but also Li Chao, and the female partner is right~
This time-traveling girl is too stupid, right?
This chapter shows that the time-traveling woman is ignorant and ignorant. She is a rare military commander. She smiles blackly and looks around. She thinks she is in modern times.
Mrs. Chen is probably the most innocent person in this family.
The heroine has a nice name!
This time-traveling girl is still a rude and unemotional person in modern times.
It's amazing. Fortunately, women who time travel treat everyone equally and don't just target some people, although it seems that they are a bit out of their minds.
It's really beautiful. I'll be sad if I don't update it for a day.

"Looking at ancient and modern times, there are very few capable women. However, I can testify with my own experience that if they were given the same vast world as men, they would not be any worse than men. A thousand-mile horse can only travel a thousand miles with a bole. I am very grateful to Your Majesty. I hope that this will help you." "Your Majesty can give women more freedom. I should be punished for bullying you. But if she had the opportunity to read poetry and books like me since she was a child, even though I am dead, thousands of people like me will help you. I don't know what to say." Xiao Mingxi: I was born with the mission of saving people, but I still have selfish motives. I hope women in the world will suffer less and have more opportunities.

The dynasty is fictional, and the background is that the world is in chaos.
