The fifth emperor of the Great Rui dynasty was a notorious womanizer. Before he even turned forty, he had twenty-one sons and nineteen daughters, keeping the imperial harem bustling.
After weighing her options, Meng Yue entered the household of the sixteenth prince as a servant. The reason was simple: the sixteenth prince’s mother came from a county magistrate’s family, and her clan was weak, but she had been lucky enough to give birth to a prince. She had a foothold in the palace but was unlikely to get dragged into too much conflict. Meng Yue had it all planned out: stay close to a patron, become a trusted aide, then leave the palace at the proper age and enjoy a comfortable life.
But plans never keep up with change. The crown prince died in the struggle for power, and the fighting grew fiercer. The sixteenth prince and his mother were caught up in it too, and Meng Yue couldn’t hold back from stepping in.

Meng Yue, the Great Rui dynasty’s most extraordinary woman, was born a palace maid. She could manage the realm with her words and command troops against enemy forces with her sword. She became empress to the sixth emperor, the Empress Sheng of Heavenly Mandate and Martial Valor, and then became the seventh ruler of the Great Rui dynasty, the Emperor Hong of Heavenly Mandate.
Among the princes, each a dark horse in his own right, she backed the unassuming sixteenth prince and helped him seize the throne, shocking everyone. Later scholars argued endlessly over whether the sixth emperor had been pretending to be weak while waiting for his moment, or had simply been incredibly lucky to meet the woman chosen by fate and ride her coattails.
With an empress so mighty and awe-inspiring, could she really not be the Child of the Plane? The scholars’ debate once again veered off course~
[Steady, composed heroine x scheming, two-faced male lead]
*
P.S.:
① The story starts when they’re children; they grow up together.
② The heroine initially feels only familial affection for the male lead. They’re separated for several years, and when they reunite, the male lead has matured in both body and mind, and only then does their romance develop.

Here’s another completed novel with a similar heroine: After Becoming the Gu Household’s Sweeping Maid
After dying, Ye Yin transmigrates into a sweeping maid at the Gu family’s country estate. In her previous life, she struggled through the apocalypse and narrowly escaped death countless times. Now she gets room and board and is paid at the end of the month. Where else could she find such a good deal?
Ye Yin switches early into retirement mode, occasionally taking care of a few minor problems to liven things up.
Just as Ye Yin becomes the head maid at the estate and resolves to keep this well-paid, easy job for the rest of her life, the commander of the Imperial Guards arrives with an imperial decree and kicks open the estate’s gates. “The Gu family has rebelled. Kill them all!”
Ye Yin: ?!!
Ye Yin slips away in the chaos, but on the way she runs into the young master, unconscious from blood loss. Behind her, flames soar into the sky, and everywhere she hears people crying out in grief.
She looks again at the helpless young master and grits her teeth. “Fine, I’ll do it!”

Gu Che is the youngest legitimate son of a family of military men, but instead of taking up arms, he’s well-versed in the classics, refined and dignified, and unforgettable to behold.
If nothing unexpected happens, he’ll find an easy post under the protection of his father and brothers and spend his life as a wealthy idler.
But the family is destroyed overnight, and Gu Che falls from the clouds into hell. He struggles in the mire until a strong hand reaches out to him. “If you think it’s unfair, fight back. If you hate them, take revenge. Every step you take loosens the chains on your mind. There’s a long road ahead. Until the very end, no one can decide whether you live or die.”
That was when Gu Che understood that in this life and the next, he would never let go of this person’s hand.
* * *
At first, Ye Yin only thinks the young master has suffered so much that it would be too heartless of her to leave him behind.
She never expects that one moment of compassion will keep her from leaving ever again.
Let me admire autumn waters with you, walk thorny paths by your side, and dwell with you in the heavenly palace.
Theme: There are always more solutions than difficulties
The heroine's mind is really strong, and she is indeed a person who can do great things. No wonder there are not many people who have achieved great things throughout the ages, and they all have a strong mind. My love brain is about to grow. To be honest, the male protagonist is very good. This is the first time I have eaten this one. I am not talking about the love-minded male protagonist, but my childhood sweetheart. From the beginning, my impression of the male protagonist is that he is cute, and he retains it from beginning to end. In fact, the male protagonist has always been very smart. This is the cultivation system, haha, it is indeed taught by the female protagonist. Because of the inequality of status, the heroine always retains her sanity and loves the male and female protagonists. If the inferior does not retain his sanity towards the superior, he will easily end up in a bad end. When the female protagonist becomes the superior and becomes truly equal to the male protagonist, I believe that the hearts of the male and female protagonists will be completely close to each other.
I was really convinced, and I actually got together with Zhou Xinger and gave birth to another baby.

Gu Yanzhen has been growing up since he was a child, and he has also been eating this trick since he was fifteen. Yueyue knows best and eats this trick.
Congratulations on the completion of this book [Come on] [Come on] [Come on] The story line of this book is very good, but the content feels very detailed in the early stage, and the contention in the middle and later stages is too simple. First of all, the protagonist Meng Yue's portrayal was very touching when he appeared on the scene, which made me very worried about the protagonist's situation. As the author described the story step by step, I followed Yue Yue's footsteps and watched her go further and further. Yue Yue's design of the six princes to quell the civil strife in the Barbarian tribe was very impressive. Her abilities and skills as the protagonist were not particularly reflected in the later plots. Her later role as empress was also due to Gu Heng's love and concession to Yue Yue. As I said before, the later plot is too brief, and most of it is passed over in one stroke, leaving the reader unable to follow the development of the article and experience the growth of the protagonist. The extra chapter talks about the rebellion that occurred during the reign of Emperor Jiuning and the change of the feudal monarchy into a people's democratic dictatorship. This process actually developed very quickly. Basically, it only took two generations to complete the introduction and change of ideas. People cannot have the feeling that this is the real development of parallel time and space, and they will only feel that this time is very exaggerated. But the author's great plot design, the design of the character's growth route and the later presentation of the story, I think they are all very good [Star Eyes] I like this story very much [Star Eyes] [Star Eyes] [Star Eyes]
Dare to travel thousands of miles alone, and survive for a month while pregnant in the mountains. It seems that Zhou Xinger has a good point. Sure enough, no one is perfect. It can only be said that she suddenly became rich at first, but her mind is not rich yet, so she is like that.
So well written! Yue Yue's wisdom and ability are vividly outlined. This is the real strong female novel, self-reliant and self-reliant, able to judge the times and have unparalleled resourcefulness.
This book is very good, why are there so few reviews?
The author is great, the ending is really well written [Come on]
Congratulations on the completion! The ending is good~
