The Older Empress: Bringing Down the Young Emperor

Ying Maiyu is the daughter of a modestly wealthy family in the Zhongyu Kingdom. Beautiful, though not the fairest of them all, she is timid and weak, meekly accepting whatever comes her way. At the scheme of the man she loves, she marries the young emperor and becomes empress. Twelve years of silent endurance and unwavering devotion earn her no place in his heart. Then, after she stays silent at the wrong moment, he flies into a rage and slaps her to death. When she opens her eyes again, she is shrewd, composed, mature, and worldly. She is no longer the woman she once was. ◇...◇...◇...◇...◇...◇ Audrey, a modern young woman who grew up too quickly to support her mother and protect her younger brother, unexpectedly transmigrates into another world and takes over the body of a twenty-eight-year-old empress past her prime. A different soul, a different life! A woman doesn't have to depend on a man to survive. This strong, independent older empress is far from washed up. She has no interest in the false affection you deign to offer, and no time for your silly games of turning the tables. Things like “I'll do whatever it takes to make you fall in love with me, then cruelly dump you and trample your dignity into the dirt”? She's not interested! She's lazy. She saves her time for the people and things she treasures. Everything else is just passing clouds! Of course, she's no saint, and she's not especially forgiving. Cross her, even with something as small as a verbal spat, and she'll pay you back in kind, arguing back and giving as good as she gets... She will make this heaven-sent life in another world a dazzling one! Life is a story acted out by men and women. Here are the handsome men who appear in this tale. I'll give you their names, but to find out what happens to them, you'll have to read the novel. Why am I introducing them like this? You know why... ◆ The sinister, handsome, scheming prince: Shangliu Longye ◆ The beautiful, aloof young emperor, sickly yet unexpectedly shrewd and wise: Shangliu Yunche ◆ The rugged, masculine, blue-eyed prince, passionate and deeply devoted: Jin Zhuoyang ◆ The free-spirited wanderer who lives life to the fullest and can do anything: Ling Bai ◆ The divine-looking physician, unexpectedly hot-tempered and crude: Gui Mu ◆ The innocent, adorable crown prince, as beautiful as a cherry blossom, but possibly a little scheming: Nan Lianguang ◆ The bewitching prime minister's son, born with a seductive allure and a cold, wicked charm: Na Qifeng ◆ The noble, imposing, handsome emperor, a mighty and capable ruler: Qi Ao'an ...And many more handsome men, left out for brevity... Note: 1. The heroine is strong and decisive, but has no extraordinary powers or skills that let her roam heaven and earth. The story focuses on her personality and personal journey. The hero is powerful and scheming. 2. There are no bloody massacres. If any violence does occur, it will be glossed over as much as possible. Readers looking for graphic gore should look elsewhere. 3. Expect plenty of warmth and laughs. 4. This is a novel, so please forgive any shortcomings.
