[A hilarious historical romance + a cast whose brains all work in unusual ways + forbidden romance between ruler and subject. The widowed empress dowager is pregnant?! Also known as: My Little Adventures with the General. Originally titled “No Minister.”] After entering the palace, her nearsightedness somehow turned her into a winner in life. She couldn't see what the emperor looked like or make out the palace intrigues, and somehow drifted from an invisible nobody to empress dowager. The new emperor is eight, a brat who knows nothing but eating, drinking, and having fun. At court, General Xiang Suizhan of Weiyuan radiates bloodlust and looks at her as if she were a “disaster who'll bring down the nation.” She thinks he's going to have her executed, but instead he secretly helps her raise the child and get rid of her political enemies. Then one day, the brat of an emperor suddenly stops acting like a brat and appears before her with a cup of poisoned wine, smiling sweetly. “Mother Empress, I know all about you and General Xiang~” As it turns out, she was the only truly blind person in the entire palace. When the poisoned wine goes down, she thinks she's done for. But who could have guessed that this “execution” would turn out to be a wonderful gift...
