The Imperial Great-Grandmother Has Arrived! Descendants of Future Generations, Kneel and Welcome Her!

As empress dowager, Yun Yi fought wars across the land to build a prosperous, peaceful empire for her son, the emperor. She survived the battlefield, only to be murdered by someone she trusted.

When she opens her eyes again, she has been reborn fifty years later as the unloved legitimate daughter of the richest family in the capital.

The once-powerful empire has fallen into turmoil, and neighboring kingdoms are eyeing it hungrily.

Worst of all, the adorable seven-year-old emperor she once knew has suddenly turned into a wrinkled old man, accompanied by a whole bunch of great-grandsons who give her endless headaches.

The eldest and second-eldest great-grandsons vie for the throne. They act like devoted brothers in public, but plot against each other in private.

The third great-grandson was sent to a neighboring kingdom as a hostage when he was young.

To avoid getting caught up in his older brothers' struggle, the fourth great-grandson spends most of his time wandering the martial world.

The fifth great-grandson does nothing but eat, drink, and have fun.

There are also two little great-grandsons waiting to be fed.

Facing this hopeless lot of descendants, Yun Yi feels her temples throb.

With internal strife and external threats mounting, and the empire she built with her own hands on the brink of ruin, she decides to roll up her sleeves and return to her old ways.

Naturally, her first order of business is to whip her great-grandsons into shape.

Unable to withstand her relentless methods, the great-grandsons run to the old emperor to complain. “Great-grandfather, Yun Yi is terrifying! Hurry and send her to the neighboring kingdom to cause trouble there!”

The old emperor immediately draws his imperial sword in fury. “Ungrateful brats! You dare find me a stepfather? All of you, kneel in the imperial ancestral temple!”

Later, after Yun Yi has achieved her goal and retired, the great-grandsons kneel before her in tears, begging her to become empress.
