The Strategist of a Prosperous Age

In her previous life,

She was the daughter of a high-ranking minister, until one day her family was destroyed and she lost everything. Her extraordinary talent and learning went to waste.

In this life,

She has returned for revenge. She has cast off her finery and buried her hatred deep within, vowing to turn the world upside down to repay this blood feud.

Once,

She was a woman of rare brilliance, peerless in talent and grace. A raging fire consumed it all, leaving only a beauty whose legend would endure for ages.

Now,

She is a genius beyond compare, planning and strategizing to win from a thousand miles away. In her green robe, she exudes effortless elegance and earns a name revered through the ages.

She is Gu Yunge, the orphaned daughter of a ministerial family; she is Mu Qingyi, the legitimate daughter of a marquis; she is also Gu Liuyun, a genius of her generation.

She is a celebrated courtesan, a treacherous rebel, and a renowned chancellor.

This is the story of an orphaned minister’s daughter who struggles to become the founding chancellor of a dynasty, and of a powerless prince who fights his way to become a great sage-emperor!

In their own words:

“They destroyed my Gu family, murdered my father and grandfather, and dishonored my own brother. I, Gu Yunge, swear I will not rest until Murong Yu is dead!”

“Even if I must stand against the whole world, I will face life and death alongside Yunge.”

“Now that Yunge has entered the court, she will never enter the imperial harem.”

“What you wish for is what I wish for.” The First Emperor of Qingyun would never take an empress or consort.
