Female Chancellor Chang Yao

From a very young age, Lu Changyao was puzzled by the origin of her name. Her mother told her, “It's all thanks to your shameless step-grandfather!”

Step-grandfather...

What kind of relation was that supposed to be?

Speaking of Lu Changyao's mother, she was a notorious shrew. They say the eminent monk Mingyuan once told her, “This woman is wise, but alas, deep love shortens life, and excessive wisdom brings harm. I should take her in...”

Before he could finish, her mother smacked him in the face with a wooden clog, leaving him covered in blood and looking like a peach blossom in full bloom!

“Deep love, my foot! She's just a little girl. How could you possibly tell she's destined for heartbreak or doomed by her own wisdom?”

After that battle, both her mother and Lu Changyao became famous.

Later, Lu Changyao grew up, killed a few people, and became chancellor of the Great Wei. She earned the empress's deep trust, and everyone who had looked down on her fell silent.

“You endured the scorn of the whole world to reach this position. What was it for?”

“...Probably so I wouldn't have to bow my head to people I despise.”
