A cold-hearted, ruthless schemer who covets power and people X A sharp-tongued but soft-hearted young empress who uses power to win people over
With every inch of cunning, I ascend to the court. I would make the imperial city my home.
Princess Deyang Xiao Jiuluo was born in an age of prosperity and raised in one. With an elder sister and three older brothers, the throne was never meant to be hers. Then one day, her imperial brother had a fit of madness and ran away, leaving an edict behind. Just like that, she went from Princess Deyang to the second empress of Great Jin, Xiao Zhenguan.
When Jiang Jianli heard the news, she thought Great Jin was doomed.
Xiao Jiuluo? She had met her before: arrogant, capricious, and good for nothing except being lucky.
She detested Xiao Jiuluo. Perhaps she was jealous of her, too.
Before her accession, Xiao Jiuluo met Jiang Jianli, whom she had not seen in years. She thought Jiang Jianli was as detestable as ever: lowborn, aloof, and with ambitions that reached for the heavens, yet good for nothing except being lucky. She loathed Jiang Jianli.
So, after Xiao Jiuluo ascended the throne, Jiang Jianli became the first person she wanted dead.
After surviving the many gates of hell Xiao Zhenguan had set for her, Jiang Jianli finally came to her senses. She had to stay alive. She wanted wealth and glory. She wanted power in her grasp.
Once, Xiao Jiuluo had been a thorn in her side. From now on, Xiao Zhenguan would be her ladder to the heavens.
Xiao Zhenguan is determined to kill Jiang Jianli, but discovers that her life is tougher than a weed's. Neither plots nor schemes can finish her off. Even so, she refuses to let Jiang Jianli live an easy life, and devotes herself to making things difficult for her. But somewhere along the way, it is Xiao Zhenguan who ends up frustrated.
At first, she clearly sees Jiang Jianli as a thorn in her side, someone she must get rid of. Later, Jiang Jianli becomes a thorn in her heart. Even when it pierces her so deeply that she would rather be dead, all she wants is for it to sink deeper, binding them together in life and death.
"You are my imperial subject and my ladder to the heavens, but you are the one person I cannot love."
"You want power? I'll give it to you. You want status? I'll give it to you. I'll give you everything you place above me in your heart. Surely then, I can take first place."

Theme: Food security sustains the nation; a strong agricultural sector makes a strong country
I always thought that Ali had no feelings for Xiao Zhenguan, but today it seems that the two of them are just awkward?
This chapter shows that the author's writing skills are very good. I hope there will be more detailed interactions like this.
Why did it end so suddenly? What about the subsequent emotional drama? The sudden interruption is quite unexpected. How to set up the East Palace and who is more suitable. In fact, the relationship between the two protagonists is not very strong in the whole article. After the empress had an epiphany in the later period, she did not feel that Jiang had the same response. If we talk about pursuing a business style to save the country and save the industry, later It's a bit strange to escape to the frontier to grow potatoes and not care about anything. I thought I would concentrate on scientific research and one day be rehabilitated. I succumbed to the pressure of the Supreme Emperor and gave up completely on escaping. It's not like Jiang Ya who drilled holes in ships to make a living in the beginning in order to leave. The whole article is full of indomitable temper. Please don't give up, author! Come on! I hope to see more follow-ups. I like your writing very much. It is antique and I will never forget it.
Damn, why is it over? I feel like I just watched the beginning. The love between the two CPs has just sprouted!!
I feel that Zhenguan is too frustrated. The people around her are either plotting against her or deceiving her. They are all her close relatives. Everyone has their own reasons for planning, but no one really considers her thoughts and feelings. This emperor really feels like a loner [covering his face and laughing]

I can't guess what's going on behind the scenes, squat
Is this really amnesia?
When will this Supreme Emperor be "offline"?
I am angry every day 1/1, when will I be coaxed?
