Power Over the Court: The Peerless Empress's Ultimate Poison Strategist

A stunning empress ascended the throne, but the scholars of the realm refused to acknowledge her. No one would devise an imperial title for her, and in a fit of thunderous rage, she nearly had them executed. At the eleventh hour, Li Wuji's soul transmigrated into this world. To save his own life, he offered her the character “Zhao.”

From “Killing Three Warriors with Two Peaches” and the Favor-Enfeoffment Decree to “Dissolving the Commander's Power with a Cup of Wine,” “Mulberry Planting Ruins the Nation,” the Empty City Stratagem, and the Golden Knife Stratagem, Li Wuji kept presenting one scheme after another. He rose from a Hanlin Academy scholar to a prince who shared the empress's rank, and even won her hand in marriage.

Li Wuji: “These are all open strategies. How did I end up being called a sinister schemer?”
