Astrologers, those who use the movements of celestial bodies to understand the past and present, predict the future, and reveal destiny, are a variant of the prophetic wizard.
Astrologer Pal Last initially believed this, until he rediscovered an ancient tome passed down from his ancestors—the "Guide to the Starry Passenger."
What does it mean to "use the paths of the stars as a circuit to construct formulas, and to draw on the magic of the astral realm to perform plane-level magic"? What does
it mean to "distort time and space with immense magical power and mass—this is the essence of astrology"?
What does it mean to "see what you get, and to foresee the future and pre-empt power"?
What does it mean to "give the sky stars, give the earth light, and give man the future"?
At first glance, it seems like mere fiction, but upon closer inspection, there's a deeper meaning. If only they could launch something into the sky and maintain contact with it...
this was the very first step taken by the legendary astrologer who revolutionized the school of prophecy. It was also the beginning of the career of the prophet known as the "Great Conman."
"What do you mean by conning people? We prophets are so weak in combat and so easily targeted. How can we survive if we don't learn some magic to protect ourselves?"
[Double Female Leads: The Flirtatious but Principled Female Emperor X Cold and Loyal Regent Queen]
Shen Qingyao had merely commented on a late-night reading of a female emperor novel. In that story, the female emperor ends up as a devoted wife, ceding the throne to the male lead, and dies in melancholy. Shen Qingyao was so angry she spat blood—immediately leaving a thousand-word scathing review.
She never expected the author’s curse to make her transmigrate into the book, becoming the devoted-wife female emperor herself! No problem—since she’s here, she’ll make the best of it. Shen Qingyao decides to firmly seize her imperial throne, select beauties, indulge in her harem, and revel in pleasure!
Unfortunately, Shen Qingyao is a puppet emperor, powerless, always at risk of being targeted by villains. To survive, she can only cling to the leg of the cold and aloof Regent Queen.
Diligent and conscientious in court, Regent Queen Qin Anyuan notices the female emperor has been acting very differently lately, frequently seeking contact with her. Occasional physical touches make her wonder—has the emperor’s heart been stirred for her loyal subject?
When the emperor demands obedience, the subject must comply. When the emperor desires the beauty of the subject, the subject must respond.
Thus, the loyal Regent Queen… climbs into the dragon bed. All in the name of loyalty—yet she does not realize that her own heart is falling too.

A poor mountain girl, Lu Fufu, transmigrates into a book. Her mission? To transform the story’s villainous tyrant into a wise and benevolent ruler.
Mu Linchuan is a true tyrant: narrow-minded, gloomy, petty, and ruthless.
After rebel forces seize the capital, he loses the use of his legs. It’s Lu Fufu—living in the Cold Palace—who carries him out from a pile of corpses.
The once-glorious young emperor falls from grace overnight. From a noble ruler, he becomes nothing more than a half-man with the stature of a child, someone everyone mocks and humiliates.
But when he sees the plain little girl stumbling around trying to get him medical help, the boy falls silent.
He is pessimistic, cynical, and weary of life—but for Lu Fufu, he’s willing to change. Bit by bit, he claws his way back to the capital.
To win for her. To protect her safety.

In later years, the Emperor of Dayong, Emperor Li of Yong, Mu Linchuan, would become a legend. As a youth, he was a tyrant beyond redemption.
After the fall of the capital and the loss of his legs, he was overthrown. But it took him ten whole years to fight his way back.
When he returned, he ruled with wisdom and compassion: quelling northern tribes, opening sea routes, cutting taxes, building canals. He became a celebrated monarch remembered for generations.
This era of his later reign came to be known in history as the "Yuanshuo Era of Governance."
And the reason for all this change, people say, was an unremarkable girl by his side.
That girl would later become Empress Yichun, once a forgotten consort cast into the Cold Palace.
But on the very day she was to be crowned empress, the beloved Yichun Empress tragically passed away. From then on, the deeply devoted young couple were separated by life and death.
The entire court watched as the heartbroken young emperor canceled morning court for days, absent-minded and grieving. He gave Empress Yichun the highest honors in burial: tiger-emblazoned banners, phoenix carriages, imperial parasols, and a place in the ancestral temples—an extravagant tribute of mourning.
As for Lu Fufu, she had a little secret she never told Mu Linchuan:
She had always planned to fake her death and disappear.

POVs: Lu Fufu, Mu Linchuan
One-Line Summary: I’m the little tyrant’s short-lived white moonlight.
Theme: Redemption and personal growth through effort and change.
[A world of misery, villains all around / double lunatics + double heroines + no moral restraints + power over the court + tragic ending. Don’t be fooled by the title or the opening.]
In this world, there is no right or wrong—only people doing what must be done from their own position.
She once felt her heart stir, but it was only that—a fleeting feeling.
One plotted for a lifetime, yet died with hatred, her great vengeance unfulfilled.
The other lived unloved, forever stripped of freedom, trapped within the imperial city.
A deeply scheming, deranged Grand Tutor vs a black-bellied, peerless, deranged princess.
Qi Zhao Qian was a princess who could not see the light of day, raised in the cold palace since childhood, with no one caring whether she lived or died.
Within the imperial city, the bricks and tiles were cold—and so were human hearts.
Being bullied, cursed, and beaten was routine.
Often, her elder sister would step on her, grinding her into the dirt like worthless mud.
Until one day, a slender, elegant hand gripped her chin and leaned close to whisper by her ear:
“You are more suited to that throne than she is.”
In that moment, Qi Zhao Qian’s gaze fell upon the imperial throne—and upon the world itself.
A single imperial edict pulled her into the vortex. She understood what Yun Yu Bo’s words meant: that she was more obedient than the eldest princess, more suitable to be called a puppet, and far easier to control.
But she forgot—she was no caged bird. How could she resign herself to being a puppet for life, a powerless chess piece forever?
(Everyone said the eldest princess was destined to ascend the throne. But on that day, in wind and driving rain, all the court officials knelt in submission as Qi Zhao Qian walked into the great hall, step by step, carrying her elder sister’s head in her hand, and sat upon the dragon throne…)
“If my dear sister can sit on this throne, why can’t I?”
Jiang Ci and Li Chenglin had only met a few times, yet on the day Jiang Ci was sentenced to death, the always composed and dignified Princess Royal lost her cool for the first time. She risked the crime of treason by leading troops to storm the imperial prison, and in front of countless witnesses, she called Jiang Ci by her childhood name and pulled her into her embrace.
Only then did Jiang Ci realize: she had a face that Li Chenglin could never forget.
After being reborn, Jiang Ci proceeded with caution, deliberately drawing close to Li Chenglin.
She intended to use this face to confuse her, deceive her, seduce her. As long as she could achieve her goal, she didn’t care about being just a substitute.
She incited her to rebel and seize the throne—but when Li Chenglin insisted on making her Empress, Jiang Ci faked her death in an attempt to escape.
What she didn’t expect was that Li Chenglin would descend into madness, refusing to bury her, hugging her “corpse” to sleep every night, and whispering in her ear with near insanity:
> “A’Ci, since you’ve provoked me, don’t even think of escaping. Even in death, you will forever belong to me.”

Gu Yi, who just graduated, received a strange game console.
When he discovered that not only could the things in the game console materialize in reality, but even the characters he controlled were the ancestors of his family.
——Since then;
An immortal family that has been passed down since the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty has slowly risen in the long river of history.
He once personally controlled his ancestor to conquer the world.
He had seen members of his family occupy the top positions in the government, second only to the emperor and above everyone else.
He once saved the world from collapse, saved the Great Xia from ruin, and saw his family crumble because of one person, and his thousand-year plan nearly fell apart...
Peace the world, support the Dragon Court, and stabilize the nine states...

Rong Zheng heard that she had transmigrated into a book — an old-fashioned tragic romance novel where the Crown Princess pursues her white moonlight Crown Prince. The male lead abuses the female lead, her family, and her friends. Despite all this, the Crown Princess, covered in wounds, ends up winning over the Crown Prince, and they end up together.
But Rong Zheng’s arrival seems to have changed things. She firmly believes that by playing the opposite role, her life will take a different path.
In Taohua County, when the old eunuch asks her to act as a fake Crown Prince, she chooses instead to become the real Crown Prince.
When the Empress Dowager forces her to break off the engagement upon returning to the palace, she proposes to the female lead.
The Emperor at the main hall and the Empress Dowager of Ciming Palace want to make her a mere pawn? She chooses to turn the tables.
Even the princes covet her woman? Want to snatch the Crown Prince’s position? Not worthy!
Various traitors and rebels want to harm her father-in-law, but she’s already set traps waiting for them.
Those who try to force her will be left nowhere to hide. When enemies try to assassinate her, the legendary Qianqiu Yan sword sweeps across thousands of troops — one man guards the pass, ten thousand cannot break through.
She fiercely protects her: "I’m here. Who dares to touch her!"
Until the day the plot concludes, Rong Zheng recalls the unbeatable achievements she once reached.
“I am ultimately above all.”
“No one dares command me.”
Qianqiu Yan turns over on the dragon throne, weak and delicate: “My back aches.”
Rong Zheng immediately rushes to massage her wife: “I’m here.”
