The Great Demon King Longyue Is Reborn: I Want to Become Empress

Longyue's third brother, the one who loved her most, died. Her fourth brother ascended the throne and became the emperor of the Qing dynasty.

Princess Longyue had no choice but to obey the imperial decree and fulfill her duty as a princess by leaving the Forbidden City to marry for peace.

She had thought that once her husband died, she could return to court and live happily as a widow. Who knew that her cold-hearted, ruthless fourth brother would make her marry her enemy again?

Mounted on her warhorse, Longyue gazed across the boundless grasslands and, for the first time, wondered why women were not as free as horses.

After Longyue died, her spirit lingered and wandered for a hundred years.

She witnessed the Qing dynasty, under her fourth brother's rule, riddled with corruption, left behind by maritime nations, abused by foreign barbarians, and reduced to ruin.

She saw distant nations ruled by empresses, their fortunes flourishing as they used their strength to humiliate China.

When she opened her eyes again, Longyue found herself back at the time she had sat on her mother's lap.

Her imperial father, Yongzheng, was entertaining her with a model ship. Longyue climbed onto him and cooed, "Imperial Father, I want an iron ship. May I have one?"

How could Yongzheng refuse Longyue, the one who held his heart above all others?

Longyue took her mother's hand and stood unsteadily aboard the iron ship her imperial father had bestowed upon her, thinking: Why can't I become an empress and rule the seas?

"An overpowered golden finger" "A female emperor takes the throne" "Building a steam-powered Qing dynasty" "A ruthless, darkened Longyue who beats anyone who won't submit into submission"
