Cui Wu transmigrated into a brothel beauty in a chaotic age. Sun Yan, the son of a military governor, took a fancy to her, abducted her, and forced her to become his concubine.
Cui Wu: "I won't be a concubine."
Sun Yan: "You're a woman of the pleasure quarters. What else would you be, if not a concubine?"
After careful thought, Cui Wu drew up a plan for her future, taking measured steps and proceeding cautiously.
Six years later, the realm was unified, and a new dynasty had been established.
In the Hall of State Governance, the newly surrendered ruler of Jiangnan knelt on the floor.
The Great Wei Empress lifted his chin with the tip of her shoe. "Minister Sun, do you remember what I told you back then?"
Sun Yan was drenched in sweat. Gritting his teeth, he bowed his head. "I beg Your Majesty... spare the lives of every member of the Sun clan in Jiangdong."
When the emperor was enraged, rivers of blood flowed.
One sentence stopped her: "Your Majesty, Marshal Qin has captured Xiangyang and returns in triumph."
Cui Wu dropped her executioner's blade and ran outside. "Quick, quick, quick! Call all the civil and military officials and the imperial physicians. We're going to welcome my brother back to the palace!"
Cui Wu had once hated this world with all her heart, but in the year she hated it most, she met Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao, courtesy name Zihan, was the second son of the former military governor of Hexi.
When Cui Wu was trapped in the mire, miscarrying and bleeding, he was the only one who reached out to her.
When Cui Wu pointed her sword at the world and ascended the throne, he supported her with all his strength, willingly becoming the stepping stone beneath her feet.
Looking at Qin Xiao, covered in wounds, Cui Wu fell silent.
"Fine. For my brother's sake, I'll put the blade away."
Reader tips:
1. The heroine isn't a delicate wife, isn't sexually inexperienced, and has a moral compass, though it's not very strong.
2. The main focus is her career, with romance on the side.
3. This is a fictional setting inspired by the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. The political intrigue and warfare aren't the author's strong points, so don't take them too seriously.
4. No forced possession, no rekindling a broken relationship, and no running away while pregnant.
The novel is complete at 900,000 words. Updates are guaranteed, with bonus chapters possible at readers' request.

New upcoming novel: Escape from the Viceroy's Residence, with My Country at My Back
Xue Shu has terrible luck:
She transmigrated to ancient times, fell into the pleasure quarters, and was forcibly taken by a powerful scumbag.
Song Zhao, Viceroy of the Two Rivers, took a fancy to her and built a gilded cage to keep her imprisoned for life.
Xue Shu: "I didn't get a master's degree just to be your dog!"
She set a fire, intending to die alongside Song, but the smoke overwhelmed her and she passed out.
The good news: Xue Shu got her wish and returned to modern civilization.
The bad news: Her transmigration was part of an illegal experiment, and the program had already been set. In 100 days, she would return to that wretched ancient world.
Xue Shu broke down. Rather than become a captive concubine with no dignity, she would rather die.
Standing atop the tallest building in the city, she considered ending it all, but at the last moment someone pulled her back.
Zhao Wensheng, a Ministry of State Security director who had destroyed the illegal laboratory: "Our country will never abandon a single citizen, even across parallel worlds."
For the next three months, Xue Shu endured brutal training: combat, negotiations, interrogation, reading people...
When the hundred-day countdown ended, she returned to ancient times, but this time she had an entire country backing her.
Trapped by a scumbag with no way to escape? The national security strategy department personally devises an escape plan.
Stranded in a foreign land with nothing to eat? A leading scientist helps improve the rice seeds.
Not strong enough to fight back when bullied? Upgraded firearms are added to the agenda.
When the latest combat exoskeleton was sent over, Xue Shu went berserk.
I transmigrated into an ancient era of chaos, not some futuristic space age!
A laser blade cutting through the city walls? That's way too over the top!
Theme: What doesn't defeat me only makes me stronger.
The empress with the strongest gender stance I have ever seen
In fact, this is normal. It is too ideal to expect that minds and women can be completely emancipated in ten or twenty years. This must have a long-term effect. As far as the progress of the article is concerned, ordinary families are still only passing on family property to their sons, and they definitely want the throne to be passed on to the prince instead of the princess.
Your son only has ambition but no brains. He can be a free prince without fighting or grabbing. Your parents have already decided on their preferred heir. How could they tolerate you testing him 😂
The full text of this article is complete. The author's new article "Escape from the golden cage, I strive to win over the mountains and rivers and ascend to the throne as emperor" is being serialized. The book number is 10237915. It is an imaginary era and is based on the late Ming Dynasty. The heroine rises up in troubled times to compete for supremacy, drives away the foreigners, and finally regains the mountains and rivers. It is more secure every day. The update time is 18:00 every day. I hope you can continue to support me and take a bow!
Hehe, then the son can just be a salted fish prince who just waits for death. In this world, we who seek the truth will accept it.
So the next empress is Sister Xunzhen.
Great, this kind of man who thinks he is so hypocritical and never feels that he is wrong from the beginning to the end should die without anything and die as miserably as possible 🧋
Laughing to death. King Wu Mu went to capture King Wu Mu.
Congratulations on the ending ~ Cui Ze's end is really sad
Congratulations on the ending, I really like Cui Wuhou's face to cold reason 🧋
