The Cold Emperor’s Number One Beloved Consort

She transmigrated, and a renowned weapons expert was reborn in the body of a timid, weak-willed daughter of the prime minister.

Pregnant before marriage, bringing shame on the family? Her cold-blooded father shows no concern for his own flesh and blood and throws her out of the house?

Fine, throw her out. She doesn’t need relatives who fawn over the powerful.

Her father’s favorite concubine-born daughter steals the fiancé she was promised to as a child?

So what? She has no interest in an arranged marriage with a stranger.

And now her stone-hearted father wants to seize the generous dowry her mother brought into the marriage! He even gives her an abortion pill, hoping to kill the child in her womb?

Damn it! Does he think she’s a harmless kitten just because she hasn’t shown her claws?

She files a formal complaint with the emperor, leaving them disgraced and forcing them to hand over every last bit of her mother’s dowry.

An imperial edict severs all ties between her and the prime minister’s household. From now on, whether she lives or dies has nothing to do with those cold-blooded relatives.

Once the envy of everyone as the future crown princess, she becomes the laughingstock of the capital, scorned by all.

Five years later, she returns in style with her son. With extraordinary courage and intelligence, she opens a dye shop, manufactures weapons, and mines salt, taking control of the economic lifelines of the entire Yun Kingdom. The world is turned upside down, and those who mocked her are left dumbfounded.

Scene One:

“Mother, that uncle is so handsome! Can I ask him to be my father?”

The adorable little boy planted his hands on his hips, his bright eyes darting about as he excitedly pointed at the icy-faced man.

The peerlessly beautiful woman glanced at the stone-faced man without a hurry. Her stunning red lips parted, and out came words sharp enough to kill: “Can handsome men feed you? Can you spend handsome men like silver?”

The little boy shook his head, confused.

Pinching her son’s chubby cheek, she tried to knock some sense into him. “Then why do you want him to be your father? He’s so big, he’ll eat a lot and spend a lot of silver. Don’t you feel sorry for me?”

“Of course I do! Then I don’t want him to be my father.”

The expressionless man’s face darkened in an instant. He nearly coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Scene Two:

“Your Majesty, please give your subject justice! The empress is cruel and ruthless. She sent people to burn my entire family alive last night, all 298 of them. She had no right to do this. I beg Your Majesty to punish the empress according to the laws of the Yun Kingdom and avenge my innocent family!”

The delicate, beautiful young woman wept bitterly, glaring at the woman whose smile was dazzling enough to outshine the world. Deep in her eyes, a vicious light flickered. Her voice was so heartrending that anyone would pity her.

“Then how do you think Lady Qian should be dealt with?”

A glint of coldness shone in his deep, unfathomable eyes. His voice was calm, as if he were discussing something trivial.

“Since ancient times, the harem has not been allowed to interfere in politics. The empress has challenged imperial authority, and the laws of the Yun Kingdom require that she be executed with a three-foot length of white silk. But she is the woman His Majesty loves most, so she should be treated leniently and given thirty strokes instead.”

The young woman glanced timidly at the impassive emperor and spoke with great care.

“As you wish. Guards, take her away and give her thirty strokes!”

The young emperor barked the order. A flash of delight passed through the young woman’s lowered eyes. Before her triumphant smile could bloom, a fierce-looking matron rushed over and kicked her to the ground. Heavy wooden boards came crashing down on her, and her piglike screams rang through the imperial garden.

“The empress can never be wrong. Even if she makes a mistake, it’s because you people did something wrong and made her do it. Guards, issue this decree: anyone who dares speak a word against the empress will have their entire clan executed!”
