At eleven, she led troops to the capital's aid, put down a rebellion, and was first granted an honorary title before being made a regional governor;
At fifteen, she inherited the title of Prince of Jin, seized power, killed her uncle, and confined her younger brother;
At eighteen, rebels usurped the throne and chaos engulfed the realm. She rushed to the aid of Luzhou and carved out a domain in the northwest;
At twenty, she decisively defeated the Khitan, marched south to suppress the rebels, destroyed Yan and Liang, and annexed Hebei;
At twenty-two, urged on by the regional commanders, she founded a state and became emperor, naming it Jin and changing the era name to Dingxing.
In the three years since ascending the throne, the emperor had been busy with affairs of state and, having very little faith in ancient birth control, had kept her relationship with her male confidants at arm's length.
Then one day, after the morning court, a toddler appeared out of thin air, clung to her leg, and called her Mama.
Those eyes, that nose, that mouth. That child was obviously the emperor's!
The emperor's expression cracked slightly. Which shameless person secretly had a child for her?
(A chaotic comedy. Please don't scrutinize the historical details! I'm tired of writing about conquering the realm, so this story will focus on governing it!)
(An outrageous Mary Sue adored by everyone, with countless unrequited crushes and little concern for morality. There will probably be quite a few male favorites, and maybe one official consort. Please click away if that's not your thing.)
