The whole world thought that Fu'an was getting married by decree.
No one knew that this marriage was the opportunity she had been waiting for for three years.
What Fu'an wants is just a proof: she is better than her brothers. Since gender does not give her a chance, she will create an opportunity herself.
But the moment she stepped into the court, she saw clearly that recognition was meaningless. The reward in this game was the supreme throne!
So her goal grew from "prove" to "capture" inch by inch.
Three ways to seek talents, heroes from all over the world fell into her trap. Through the system of popular popularity, courtiers, and female officials, she gradually cultivated her own power and sent ambitious women one after another up the ladder of power.
The originally stable situation in the DPRK was being pried apart bit by bit. The old ministers are vigilant, while the new ministers are restless, and they are testing each other openly or secretly.
Some people are loyal to her, some are dependent on her, some are using her to display their talents, and some are waiting for her to fail.
This is no longer her "seizing power" alone, but a world that is being rewritten.
