In the year of Jingkang, Jin cavalry pounded at the gates. Bianliang burned to ashes, and the palace halls became ruins.
The two emperors Huizong and Qinzong, dressed in plain clothes and with ropes around their necks, bared their chests and bound their hands before bidding farewell to the ancestral temple and being taken north.
The ancestral temples lay in ruins, the realm was lost. An eternal humiliation, etched into our bones!
Zhao Zhao was clearly unlucky enough to be reborn during the reign of Emperor Huizong of Song, just seven years before the land would be shattered. Now, she is no more than a lowly maid in a county town.
But being a maid isn't easy either. After the young mistress frames her for breaking an imperial gift, she has no way to prove her innocence or seek justice. In the blink of an eye, she's thrown into prison!
After going to great lengths to escape, she is attacked by bandits, kidnapped by a man who takes a fancy to her, and forced to become his concubine?
One crisis leads to another, each trap different from the last. How could things possibly be any more miserable?
Of course, if Heaven closes one door for you, it will open a window. And you can always tear off the roof and build somewhere else.
After resolving every problem, Zhao Zhao sits in the top seat of the mountain stronghold. As she listens to the former bandit chief introduce himself by his nickname, she can't help rubbing her chin. So this is a world connected to Water Margin too? Well... this just got a lot more interesting.
They say it takes ten years to forge a sword, and a sword can claim fourteen provinces!
The shame of Jingkang, I will avenge! The people's hatred, I will put to rest!
If that's the case, then surely there's nothing wrong with me becoming an empress?
