After Gathering Nine Handsome Men, She Ascended the Throne

One moment, Jiang Nianyu was fighting zombies. The next, she had transmigrated,

becoming a cannon-fodder female character in a danmei political intrigue novel.

From the start, she is sentenced to death for having an affair with a guard and bringing scandal to the imperial harem.

Faced with the three methods of execution: a white silk sash, a dagger, and poisoned wine,

Jiang Nianyu begins her desperate fight to survive.

After barely managing to stay alive, she receives two pieces of news.

The good news: her wood-type ability came with her.

The bad news: there are no crystal cores here, so her ability can't level up.

But soon she discovers that her wood-type ability seems to be a sucker for good looks.

Whenever she gets close to a handsome man, her ability improves!

So every day, she finds new ways to get close to handsome men:

The seductive villain;

The loyal guard;

The reborn emperor gong;

Her former fiance, the top scholar;

The handsome monk of foreign blood;

The elusive illusionist;

The valiant, battle-hardened general...

Her ability keeps rising by leaps and bounds.

By the time it reaches the ninth rank,

she is invincible in the world.

Since she's already invincible, she might as well take the throne while she's at it.

Rebels: The Empress rules against the natural order. Heaven will punish her sooner or later!

Officials: Long live our Emperor!

Rebels: The Empress is a demon. She will bring chaos to the world!

People: Bah! The Empress can grow a hundred thousand acres of grain with a wave of her hand, saving countless lives!

How is she a demon? She's clearly a living bodhisattva sent from heaven to save us!

Rebels: The Empress won't have children. There'll be no heir to the throne, so just wait for the country to fall!

Jiang Nianyu: Come on, hang them on the city wall and let them see how my Great Jiang will last for thousands of generations!
