[Career-Driven Empress Who Only Wants the Throne x Pretty, Useless, Hopelessly Romantic Hero]
Li Anle transmigrated into another world. All she had by her side were a down-and-out father and a beautiful, fragile mother. Seeing her father's precarious mental state and her mother's weakness, Anle couldn't help but worry. If neither of them could hold this family together, then it was up to her, ten-year-old Li Anle, the grown-up of the house, to become its pillar!
By day and night, she pushed herself relentlessly to learn and improve, while finding ways to make life more comfortable for her beloved parents.
After all her hard work, their family was finally thriving when an imperial edict arrived from Luoyang. She, Li Anle, daughter of a fallen household, had suddenly become Princess Anle of the Great Tang. And her grandmother was none other than the formidable Emperor Zetian!
Li Anle understood. If there could be an Emperor Zetian, why not an Emperor Anle as well? She changed her plans and set out, step by step, to become Princess Anle, Crown Princess, and finally ruler of all under heaven, with envoys from every corner of the world paying homage!
Emperor Anle: I merely did what men have always done.
This baseless accusation, I refuse to accept!
P.S. No ethical issues involved. The male supporting character is only engaged, and he dies before the wedding!
