Mu Jinyan was born into a family of military generals in the Great Yuan Dynasty. The daughter of the empire's great protector, she was named empress at thirteen and became the mother of the realm.
The emperor was a notorious womanizer, with countless beauties in his harem, said to number three thousand.
Mu Jinyan could have spent the rest of her life comfortably in the palace, but then the Imperial Preceptor observed the stars one night and divined the alignment of the Nine Stars.
From then on, the court and the harem were filled with so-called transmigrators. Everyone proclaimed that all people were equal, yet the emperor was delighted by it all.
As transmigrators grew more common, one even climbed onto the dragon throne's bed and joined the harem. She rose through the ranks until she became Noble Consort, threatening Mu Jinyan's place as empress.
Mu Jinyan couldn't understand it. These people went around preaching equality every day, so why was that damn emperor still making her a Noble Consort?
Everyone loved transmigrators. What made them so special? Weren't they all just people?
After her sworn enemy, Gu Yanjin, fell into the water and started acting like a completely different person, clinging to her constantly, Mu Jinyan finally realized that Gu Yanjin had been possessed too.
Now she was doomed. That damn emperor had three thousand beauties in his harem, and every last one of them except Mu Jinyan was a transmigrator.
Gu Yan Jin was the daughter of the prime minister. The emperor took a liking to her and brought her into the harem as a Noble Consort.
After entering the palace, she constantly opposed Mu Jinyan. The two were like fire and water, arguing every time they met.
Mu Jinyan thought that with an outsider's help, Gu Yanjin would keep making trouble for her. She never expected the woman to avoid the emperor's bed and climb into her own instead.
The theatrically dramatic Noble Consort: Won't you despise me, Your Majesty?
Mu Jinyan: ...
You should be climbing into the emperor's bed!
Gu Yanjin: You want to be empress in your own right? All right, I'll help you!
Mu Jinyan: !!! I never said that!
Later, the first empress in the history of the Great Yuan Dynasty was born.
Mu Jinyan: How did this imperial robe end up on me?
Note: This takes place after the emperor's death, and the relationship is confirmed then.
Theme: Have the courage to overcome difficulties and become the best version of yourself.
