Bo Ruo was transmigrated into the womb and became the tenth princess of the Great Yu Dynasty.
Watching several of her elder sisters either betrothed against their will or forced into political marriages, none of them living happily, Bo Ruo could practically see her own future.
To escape a tragic fate, Bo Ruo picked out a future husband for herself while she was still very young. Her plan was to start training him from childhood.
Just as the two of them reached the age to marry, her young sweetheart suddenly came to confront her, eyes red with anger.
"You want to become emperor?"
Bo Ruo: "...Huh?"
"And after becoming emperor, you want to fill your harem!"
Bo Ruo: "Well..."
"You'd rather make some ugly thing your empress than let me into the palace!!!"
Bo Ruo: "...I didn't. I haven't. Don't make things up."
Only later did Bo Ruo discover that the future husband she had raised since childhood had been reborn.
In her previous life, Bo Ruo overcame countless obstacles and ascended the throne decades later, becoming the first female emperor in the history of the Great Yu Dynasty.
After taking the throne, however, Bo Ruo turned around and welcomed the son of a low-ranking official, a man with no connections, as her empress.
Later, to balance the court, she brought several ministers' sons into her harem.
Among them, there was no place for her childhood sweetheart.
Facing his accusations, Bo Ruo suppressed the ambition burning in her eyes and kissed him with a smile.
"How can you believe in things that haven't happened yet?"
"How could a woman possibly become emperor?"
"You're the only one I love."
A moment later, Bo Ruo heard her sweetheart say through choked sobs, "I'll help you claim that throne. Just don't leave me behind, all right?"
Lin Lu had been withdrawn since childhood, and the world looked down on him because of his feminine features.
Only Bo Ruo had always given all her affection to him alone.
Lin Lu loved Bo Ruo so much that he would give everything for her, including his life.
For Bo Ruo, he stained his hands with blood, learned schemes and plots, and reached for power he had never cared about. He became someone even he no longer recognized.
All because of something Bo Ruo had said:
"So what if I'm a woman? I want the throne above all others, and I want to wield the greatest power in the world!"
But when Bo Ruo stood atop the high platform, Lin Lu looked up and saw only her icy face.
Unbeknownst to him, he had become the greatest threat to Bo Ruo's claim to the throne.
1. The female lead is ambitious, extremely self-interested, and controlling.
2. The female lead is stronger than the male lead. The male lead only imagines that he threatens her throne.
3. The male lead is lovesick, and both leads are a little crazy. This is not a female-dominant or gender-bender story. One-on-one romance, both leads' first time.
4. There will be rivalry among men, but the female lead only loves the male lead. Happy Ending.
5. The dynasty and setting are fictional and not meant for historical research. This is pure wish fulfillment.
My upcoming novel, I Became the Dynasty's Top-Tier Star Through Foresight, is available to bookmark on my author page!
After transmigrating as the capital's number-one beauty, Bo Xingwan had barely had time to celebrate when she discovered that the title was already a thing of the past.
Now she was blind, her reputation was in ruins, and her own father was about to send her off to a nunnery to spend her days praying before the Buddha.
Bo Xingwan: "...What kind of human misery is this?"
Luckily, her transmigration came with a golden finger. When trouble strikes, don't panic. Get your fortune told first.
"Father, today is an inauspicious day to go out..."
"Hmph, what kind of charlatanry is this?"
Her father stormed off, only to be carried back by servants less than two hours later...
"Young sir, you'd best avoid the Yihong Brothel..."
"Are you jealous, Xing'er? Don't worry. Even though you've gone blind, I won't look down on you."
A few days later, word spread that the scoundrel had contracted syphilis and become a laughingstock throughout the capital, Jianjing.
To survive, Bo Xingwan put on a show of mystery, pretending to be a spirit and a ghost. Before long, she had become the divine maiden of the Great Ye Dynasty.
The emperor bowed before her, the people raised statues in her honor, and even Heaven and Earth celebrated for her.
At first, Qi Yan only wanted to watch the beauty who had fallen from the heights suffer in disgrace.
Later, he realized that his filthy soul was laid bare before her eyes.
To follow her, Qi Yan gave up everything and offered her his soul, asking only for a single glance from the divine.
He never expected the goddess to turn and say, "Let's walk the rest of the road side by side."
