Also known as: "Shave, Then Pick Up a Roman Empress"
A modern office drone is reborn in the medieval era as a poor young woman in the imperial capital of Rome.
Forced to sell herself to support her family...
Then the crown prince of the empire falls in love with her at first sight?
Theodora: "Changing the law just so you can marry a dancer... Idiot, do you think this is some kind of Mary Sue novel?"
Justinian (innocently stupid): "My wife is the greatest in the world!"
[Now for the serious blurb]
In the sixth century AD, the world order was in turmoil. Civilization was in decline, while barbarism was on the rise.
In East Asia, the standoff between the Northern and Southern Dynasties continued. In Central Asia, Sasanian Persia had once bowed to the White Huns. In Europe, the Western Roman Empire had barely been laid to rest, while the Eastern Roman Empire, which held half the realm, teetered on the brink of collapse...
Whether they were the Augustus in Constantinople, the King of Kings in Ctesiphon, the White Hun Khagan ruling over Central Asia, or the Chinese emperors reigning side by side in Chang'an and Jiankang, they were all striving toward the same goal:
To restore the glory of classical civilization.
And I, Theodora, the most beautiful woman in the empire, had the good fortune to witness Justinian the Great's grand revival of the Roman Empire, and to take part in it.
M.R.G.A
Make Rome Great Again!!!
(This follows the historical record, so a warning: the heroine is a "fallen woman"! That's what the historical sources say, not the author's peculiar hobby.)
