The Villainess Becomes Emperor

When Mu Jiu was the Crown Princess of Xia, she once made advances on the Third Prince of Sang, who was being held hostage at her court.

A year later, Xia was conquered by Sang. The one who personally sent her off as a prisoner was the very Third Prince whose hand she had touched, whose face she had kissed, and whose belt she had tugged loose.

As the Third Prince's robes grew looser, he struggled to give birth on the dragon throne. Mu Jiu helped him from within and without, restoring her kingdom and claiming the throne.

The ministers clamored every day for the royal family to produce heirs. The Imperial Preceptor and the Phoenix Consort went into labor on the same day. Afraid to let anyone know the child in his belly was the emperor's, the Imperial Preceptor bit down on a strip of brocade and endured the pain alone in the Star-Gazing Tower.

The devoted secret guard, his belly swollen with child, knelt on the floor to serve footbaths to the Side Consort, who was also pregnant.

The teacher she met while fleeing, and the star performer from the palace entertainers, were still waiting for Mu Jiu to remember them and grant them titles.

Three thousand people in the harem lived for a single thing she might say:

"I do like him, but I never stopped loving you~"
