The Chaotic Era Empress Gets Spoiled by the Future (Nation-Building)

After transmigrating into an imaginary, war-torn dynasty, the sixteenth-year amnesiac Princess Chao Chuyu was pushed onto the throne when almost the entire imperial family had died and the court was on the brink of upheaval. She became the last emperor of the Yin Kingdom, and its empress.

On the night of her coronation, she hit her head and recovered the memories of her previous life. Only then did she learn that she had transmigrated into an unknown dynasty. And that wasn't all: she could also see a screen full of chaotic comments.

One comment stood out the most.

[Oh wow, is this the Yuan era of the Yin Dynasty? Has Emperor Chao just taken the throne? If it's year one, there's still hope! Emperor Chao, hurry and summon Wei Chun back. He's an unforgivable eunuch, but if he dies, you'll lose your greatest ally. Ten years from now, you'll suffer all kinds of humiliation and hang yourself in the Fengtian Hall!]

Chao Chuyu shuddered and hurried to do what the comments said.

Later, the commenters made fun of her for being an ancient person and fawned over her looks, before finally realizing she could see their messages.

So the comments went from teaching her how to stay alive and rule as empress to researching the Four Great Inventions, cement, soap, and mineral resources!

The commenters were always trying to stir up trouble on the sly.

[Don't get busy with that yet. Why don't we make firearms first? We can make flintlock rifles and cannons to blast the Jin army's stronghold. Do you know how to make firearms? Never mind, you're an ancient person, so you wouldn't understand all that.]

Chao Chuyu: ...

Thanks for asking. First, I really am an ancient person. Second, I'm not a native of this era!

Later generations recorded two female emperors in the history books. One laid the foundations for the Kaiyuan Golden Age of a prosperous dynasty. The other established a unified empire every bit as powerful as the great eras ruled by men. During her reign, the government was enlightened, the country was wealthy, and women's status reached unprecedented heights. This era was known to history as the Ye Yuan Golden Age.

Note: Multiple male leads. The main focus is her career. The heroine won't have just one man in her life. Most relationships are for convenience (she uses men to secure her throne), and she may even rely on a female supporting character for money to stabilize her rule.
