[A seductive, manipulative, and dramatic actress & a repressed, brooding emperor whose old house is on fire]

[No system, no space, she rose to power purely through beauty and cunning]

The emperor may be hard to clean, but he will absolutely dote on and spoil his beloved.

An obscure actress, a scheming and manipulative woman, suffers a devastating setback and is struck by lightning. However, upon opening her eyes, she finds herself transformed into an all-powerful leading lady.

Unfortunately, she's a scheming, manipulative woman who can't navigate the thorny path of a saintly female lead.

It's okay, it's not like we're filming a movie. She can just rewrite the script and find a different man.

She has no system or space, but she has acting skills. Watch how she uses her stunning looks and masterful tea-talking skills to carve out a bright future!

…

Her eyes reddened as she feigned a pitiful state: "Your Majesty, I'm in pain, sob sob..."

The emperor glanced at the already healed, tiny wound: So delicate.

A moment later, the imperial physician rushed over, stumbling and crawling.

…

Her voice was soft and sweet as she whispered in his ear: "Your Majesty, my father and brothers have been bullied!"

The emperor was ruthless: the harem was forbidden from interfering in politics.

A moment later, two ministers at the morning court session were reprimanded until their faces turned red.

…

She pouted and looked down at him disdainfully: Oh, I've come at an inopportune time. Your Majesty and my sister are having a love affair.

The emperor frowned: No manners.

A moment later, the concubine watched with a dark expression as the emperor chased after the others.

——

He complained that she was spoiled, yet he indulged her to the point that she became unruly.

【Exile + Space + Poison & Medicine + Strong Female Lead + Revenge + Nation-Building】

Ye Chutang, a powerhouse from the 23rd-century apocalypse, transmigrated into the body of the disgraced eldest daughter of a high-ranking minister’s family, who had been abandoned in the countryside for fifteen years.

Starting off with a bang—she’s drugged by a scheming maid and offered to the maid’s son as a plaything?

One kick to castrate him, two kicks to wipe out his whole family!

With no antidote for the beastly drug, she plunges into an icy river to cool off—only to crash straight into the arms of a breathtakingly handsome man.

"Hey, handsome, let’s sleep together—I promise you won’t regret it!"

She wakes up to find the beauty gone and her scumbag father at her doorstep.

What? He wants her to replace her stepsister and marry a sadistic old eunuch as his "companion"?

She strips the stepsister naked, tosses her onto the eunuch’s bed, and leads a crowd to witness the scandal!

When her pregnancy is discovered, her stepmother tries to drown her in a pig cage?

No problem—she tracks down the father of her unborn child and forces him into marriage, parading down the aisle with a grand procession as the wife of the legendary War God Prince!

On their wedding night, the emperor sends an edict of exile and confiscation as a "gift"?

No fear!

With her spatial supernatural ability and medical skills, the physician-queen thrives anywhere.

She empties the prince’s manor! Loots the imperial palace! Cleans out the minister’s estate! And raids all her enemies’ treasuries!

While others suffer hunger and cold during exile, Ye Chutang lives lavishly, feasting and flourishing.

Along the way, she cures plagues, averts disasters, eliminates threats, and stockpiles resources.

She even gives birth to twins and is pampered beyond belief by her doting husband.

Arriving at the desolate northwestern border, Ye Chutang sees the suffering of the people.

"Time to get rich—starting with nation-building!"

She constructs city walls, digs wells, builds greenhouses, paves roads, starts farms, opens schools, plants crops…

When the barren wasteland turns into a land of abundance, the emperor panics and sends an execution decree.

Qi Yanzhou tears the edict to shreds, smirking. "Darling, I read the stars last night—our son has the aura of an emperor."

Ye Chutang waves her hand. "Then what are we waiting for? Let’s march back to the capital and rebel!"
