The Empress Takes the Throne

She transmigrates into the daughter of the Grand Tutor from her previous life and becomes the empress of the Mei Kingdom. The emperor is weak and incompetent, while the chancellor wields immense power, monopolizing the government, weakening the kingdom, and eventually using the emperor to control the feudal lords.

She matches wits with the chancellor and takes on his son. Whatever the emperor does, she can only turn a blind eye. When the consorts scheme against her, fine, she strikes back at one for every one who comes, and at two for every pair. She may look weak, but inside she's as black-hearted as they come. When acting, she gives it her all: clever when she needs to be, gentle when she should be, and as alluring as she pleases when the time is right. Sometimes, playing the big-busted, empty-headed woman who wants no part in worldly affairs is a way to protect herself, too.

Otherwise, how could the emperor believe her devotion was sincere?

Being empress is no easy task. Climbing from a low position to a high one is even harder, and becoming the empress dowager is harder still!
