[Family-wide mind reading + beloved by the whole family + transmigrate into a book + palace intrigue + lucky charm] After transmigrating into the book, Murong Nana becomes a baby princess, the daughter of Consort De, a cannon-fodder supporting character in The Empress Has Arrived. A wicked old palace nanny kills her as soon as she's born! The heroine of the book, Wu Ying'er, rises from a lowly palace maid to become empress. In the end, Murong Nana's entire family dies as cannon fodder!
[My eldest maternal uncle, the Minister of Revenue from a distinguished clan, was framed for greed and died in prison. The Left Chancellor is truly vile.]
[My third maternal uncle led an army thousands of miles into enemy territory, only to be framed as a turncoat. Empress Wu is so ruthless!]
[My grandfather, the Right Chancellor, was falsely accused by Empress Wu of plotting a rebellion and torn apart by five horses. How awful.]
[My mother was framed by Empress Wu for using a curse to harm the emperor. She was sent to the Cold Palace, where she jumped into a well and died. How pitiful.]
[The Crown Prince refused to be a puppet and defied Empress Wu's decree, so he was poisoned to death. Brother, you might not be Empress Wu's biological son.]
[In his later years, Father wanted to issue an edict deposing the empress, but the news leaked and Empress Wu poisoned him. He was blind his whole life. He deserved that death.]
After hearing Murong Nana's thoughts, her maternal relatives, all destined to die as cannon fodder, overturned the table and declared, “If Wu Ying'er can become empress, then our Nana can too. Let's rebel!” The emperor and the Crown Prince raised their armies and said, “Our Nana is brilliant and resourceful. She can be empress. We're rebelling too!”
Murong Nana sat on the dragon throne, completely bewildered, and said in her baby voice, “Being emperor means having no freedom. I still prefer being the little princess you all spoil rotten!”
