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.

During the Lantern Festival, Nan Qing was delivered to the imperial bed by her father with a cup of drugged wine, becoming the palace’s Consort Wan.
At a palace banquet, the princess who had been confined in Qingshui Palace for thirteen years schemed against Nan Qing, who was the emperor’s most favored consort.
In the endless torment that followed, the wings Nan Qing had used to escape her cage were broken, little by little

The unmarried girl had nightmares for days. She was extremely ashamed and deeply troubled.
Until one day, a handsome boy dressed strangely appeared before her, and the dream came to an abrupt end.
The young man saw through her ambition to climb the social ladder and boasted that he would help her marry into the Eastern Palace. He taught her skills, protected her, and sincerely hoped that she would marry the prince.
But she gradually discovered that she liked the boy more and more.
Just when she decided to give up the prince, the prince became unhappy again.
The abstinent, cold and unattainable prince tore off the mask of calm and restraint and became violent and crazy.
The dark peach blossom eyes locked onto her tightly.
He looked down at me with a ruthless tone: "You want to leave after you provoke me?"
The prince held her back, watching her tears well up in her eyes and begging for mercy pitifully.
The young man curled his lips: "What are you afraid of?"
She had nowhere to run, with two men in front and behind.

Li Lin traveled to the Tang Dynasty!
Became the Yongwang of the Tang Dynasty.
[Scan completed. ]
[Host signed in for 18 years and obtained the following core heritage:]
[One: A million soldiers! ]
In this era, the entire Tang Dynasty's military system was corrupt, and the total number of border troops under the recruitment system was only 500,000 or 600,000.
An Lushan had three towns with a force of 200,000, which was enough to make the whole world look at him.
And he actually...
actually had a million troops in secret?
[Underground in Jingzhou, there are a total of ninety-nine systematically planned giant underground palace-style warehouses. ]
[One hundred thousand sets of standard Mingguang armor of the Xuanjia Modao Guard and one hundred thousand specially made armor-breaking Modao. This unit is a heavy infantry, specializing in defeating cavalry. ]
[Beiwei Army standard heavy cavalry armor 50,000 sets, with 50,000 sets of horse lances and horizontal swords. There are also 100,000 Hequ horses that have been optimized and improved by the system, all of which are equipped with heavy horse armor. 】
[100,000 sets of standard light cavalry equipment of the White Horse Volunteers, equipped with 200,000 top-level Dayuan horses cultivated by the system, which are good at charging and shooting. 】
Li Lin listened to the system's report in a daze, and his whole body was numb.
He felt that he was not traveling through time, but dreaming, a dream that was absurd to the extreme.
Xuanjia Modao Guard?
Shenjiying?
Beiwei Army?
White Horse Volunteers?
What the hell...
Isn't this a grand slam of elite troops from various periods in history?
That day.
Li Longji wanted to enthrone Yang Yuhuan as the queen, which would make the Tang Dynasty lose face.
And the foolish man wanted to depose the crown prince Li Heng and demote Prince Yong Li Lin to Lingnan.
I have a million soldiers, and you demoted me to Lingnan?
Then don’t blame me for following the tradition of the Tang Dynasty!
Killing my brother, imprisoning my father, bullying my brother’s wife, bullying my son’s wife…
This fine tradition must be inherited!
Li Lin drew his sword and forced the emperor to abdicate!
In her past life, the world said Su Ling had a blessed fate. She was a peerless beauty, born into a powerful family—her father was the Duke of Zhenguo and her older brother served as a deputy minister in the Court of Judicial Review.
At seventeen, she married the Prince of Jin. Two years later, she naturally rose to become Empress of the Great Zhou.
In terms of status and nobility, she was unmatched.
But in the first year of Yanxi, the Duke of Zhenguo deserted his post on the battlefield, and the Su family was accused of colluding with the enemy and betraying the country.
After giving birth to a son, the empress died in the inner palace.
When she opened her eyes again, she had become Qin Ling, the daughter of a fifth-rank official in the Imperial Astronomer’s Office.
Awake from a dream, though she no longer longed for that heartless man, she was compelled to reenter the palace—for the sake of the child she had once borne.
On the day of the selection ceremony, the emperor reclined on his dragon throne without a word, his brows lowered, full of impatience.
Until Qin Ling walked in, wearing the exact same face as the late Empress Su, and greeted him,
"May Your Majesty be blessed with peace and health."
At that moment in the grand hall, the emperor suddenly looked up. His deep, dark eyes lost focus in the moment their gazes met, and the teacup in his hand shattered on the ground.
He murmured, lost and haunted,
"A-Ling..."

PS: This is a non-typical reincarnation story. The timeline moves forward continuously.
The heroine marries the male lead twice.
The male lead’s 'white moonlight' (his one true love) is the heroine herself.
No body double trope.
Both leads have "golden finger" (cheat-like) abilities.
The heroine is the best actress and the most beautiful in the harem.
The synopsis was written in early 2018.

Reading Guide (Must Read):
1. Theoretically, the soul is SC (Single Clean), but since the heroine has had two bodies, let’s just assume it's not SC to avoid debate. Cleanliness-minded readers take note.
2. Focus is on the romantic plot. Fully fictional and historically inaccurate.
3. Six updates a week. No updates on Thursdays. Extra updates if possible, notice given for delays.
4. No filler, no dropped storylines. Happy ending, plenty of extras.

[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?”
