The Female Chancellor

Born a woman, she refused to be confined to the inner chambers. Disguised as a man, she entered the imperial court and rose step by step to the position of prime minister. At court, she reunited with someone from her past, but they met as strangers. Should she lament how swiftly time passes, or blame fate for its cruel tricks? This official’s hat was the fulfillment of an obsession. She won the realm, but buried her past love as well. The one she once knew is still here; fallen blossoms have become a tomb. One song in the garden, and she wakes as if from a dream. Who says women only know how to fall in love? She can plan strategies in the palace and secure victory a thousand miles away. Who says friendship between women can’t withstand the test of love? After all the ups and downs, your sisters are still the ones who understand you best. Scheming for power, plotting intrigues, and having a grand time at court, she is only one step away from the imperial throne. Should she rise one step higher? “Now, you can come back to the palace with me, can’t you?” She smiled. “You’re the one coming back to the palace with me.”
