Reborn, the Commandery Princess Only Wants to Rule the World

In her previous life, Su Yan was forced into an imperial marriage because the Beining Prince's household wielded too much power. She became a pawn in someone else's hands and ultimately watched her entire family perish. Reborn, Su Yan becomes the least favored young princess of the Beining household. Raised in the countryside, she's uneducated and rough around the edges. More astonishing still, she has a son despite never having married. The child's father is unknown! Before long, rumors of Princess Chaoyan's shameless conduct spread throughout the capital. Because she is uneducated, Su Yan is forced to attend the National Academy. Everyone says, “A country bumpkin like her probably can't even pass the entrance exam.” But then an imperial decree arrives: she is admitted without an exam. Everyone says, “It's only because of the Beining Prince's household's influence. Just wait until the year-end assessment and see how she embarrasses herself.” Then the head of the academy announces: “Exempt her from the exam!” Everyone protests: “Why?” The head of the academy thinks to himself: “Because she's my final disciple, and this year's exam questions are the very ones she once used to stump me.” The Chess Sage: “Don't ask. I'm still mourning the game record I lost. It was the only copy.” The Empress Dowager falls gravely ill and offers a reward of one hundred thousand gold for the long-hidden miracle doctor. They say the doctor has a personal disciple, but no one knows who it is. Su Yan: “I want the gold, but I don't want to save her.” The neighboring kingdom is torn apart by a struggle for imperial power. The Crown Prince and Second Prince both bring about their own downfalls, and the old emperor is critically ill with no one to succeed him. The kingdom searches everywhere for the young prince who went missing in childhood. Su Yan looks at the little boy beside her, happily gnawing on a chicken leg. “I'm the Empress Dowager now!” Reborn, Su Yan wants only to amass all the wealth in the world and claim all its power. Jing Yu: “All the world's wealth is yours, and all its power is yours.” Su Yan: “Then what does Your Highness want?” Jing Yu: “In this life and the last, all I want is you!” Su Yan: “Deal!”
