In the second year of Beishuo, the palace changed and bloodbathed the imperial city.
King Yan Shiheng of Ruan'an ascended the throne by stepping on the corpse of the late emperor. Everyone was afraid that this bloodthirsty new emperor would cause a bloody storm.
But the first thing he did was to abolish the ancestral system that "women are not allowed to enter officialdom" and push Wei Yumiao to the court - she was the first female official in the new dynasty and also his only wife in this life.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty called her a "female chicken Si Chen", and the nobles of the clan forced her to accept concubines.
She is his sharp blade to balance the court, and he is the place she protects in the palm of his hand.
In the court, she used her pen as a blade to fight for a place for women; in the palace, he fought against everyone's opinions and kept the promise of being a couple for the rest of their lives.
Someone asked her: "Aren't you afraid that he will compromise for the imperial power?"
She smiled: "Your Majesty wants the world, and I want justice - and he said that I am his world."
Many years later, he held her hand and moved the pieces on the chessboard:
"No matter which way you go, I will let you win. Your joining the officialdom is my destined ending."
