Zhao Su arrived here in the 35th year of Emperor Jiajing.
His first wish was only to have a satisfactory meal.
This is a story of a boy who goes from being a poverty-stricken son of a concubine to becoming the Grand Secretary of the Great Ming.
This is also a tragic story of hard work, to train the little bratty child to become the promising young emperor, but in the end he was overwhelmed by the brat.
This is the best time period, Jiajing Emperor, Zhang Juzheng, Xu Jie, Yan Song, stars gathering, fighting openly.
This is also the worst time period, the Emperor is obsessed with achieving immortality, the court officials are forming factions, the court is a dog eat dog arena, the country is also facing internal and external conflict. The North has the Tartar, the Southeast has the Wukou, as well as heavy taxes. The common people cannot stand the hardship, the entire Ming dynasty is on the brink of collapse.

As the saying goes, "First is one's name, second is one's luck, and third is one's feng shui." Feng shui has a great influence on people, such as their wealth, health, marriage, and family.
If a person is very hardworking and not afraid of hardship, but still has no money in their pocket, it's either because they have bad luck or because there's a problem with the feng shui of their home.

Reincarnated as the female leader of a nomadic tribe, Shoukang Xiuqiu commands ten thousand people. They lack clothes and food, and winter is approaching fast. The tribe suggests she lead raids to steal grain from the Central Plains people. She immediately slaps the suggestion away and angrily scolds them, "How can we stoop to being beasts?"
Just when she’s starving, a beautiful young woman from the Central Plains arrives, offering a thousand shi (a measure) of grain as payment, asking her to rescue her brother who is trapped in the Anubi tribe. The tribe scoffs, saying, "Anubi has forty thousand troops. Let alone that we can't defeat them, Anubi and us share a common ancestor. Why would we help you fight our own people?"
Shoukang Xiuqiu sees the beautiful woman—pitiful and lonely, with no one by her side—and thinks, if she’s not rescued, she’ll probably be kidnapped by another tribe and become a breeding slave. How miserable that would be. Plus, they’re running out of food. Without hesitation, she agrees: "Alright, I’ll go to Anubi and get your brother back."
Her tribe warns her, "Leader, we’re the lowest-ranked tribe. By the rules of the steppe, we don’t even have the right to enter Anubi’s territory."
Shoukang Xiuqiu’s face is expressionless as she replies, "Then we’ll just set a fire, force them to come out and talk to me. That way it won’t count as us entering!"
The tribe’s jaws drop in shock: "Uh!!! Leader, are you serious? How can we possibly fight them?"
She boldly declares, "I’m just inviting them to join our big family, to strengthen our forces. If they refuse, then we’ll join them. Either way, we’ll get your brother back."
The tribe mutters: "Such a fierce woman!"
The beautiful woman from the Central Plains looks at this demon named Shoukang Xiuqiu with wide, amazed eyes, filled with great interest.
From then on, the tribe called Aguan, once unknown in the chaotic era of the Hu people, stormed northwards, slaughtering Hu soldiers and tyrants. The world was stunned, and they became famous overnight. Later, they established Western Wei, uniting all ethnic groups in a flourishing era, ending a century of chaos in the Central Plains.
---
One day in the camp, Shoukang Xiuqiu was being teased by her subordinates again.
"She’s obviously a Hu woman, but she kills Hu people so enthusiastically, you’d think she was from the Central Plains."
"Exactly, and she even married such a beautiful wife."
"What does that have to do with the leader marrying a wife?"
"It means she’s a henpecked husband. We call her the 'wife controls the hitter,' or simply 'wife rules.'"
Shoukang Xiuqiu was so angry she wanted to beat up those bastards. Suddenly, a soft, fragrant body hugged her from behind, sweetly whining, "Ah Xiu, Ah Xiu, I found something I like."
Her expression softened instantly, full of affection. "What has my lady found this time? Buy, buy, buy! We have money to spare!"
Xiao Hao nuzzled her cheek. "There’s a plain near the sea in the southern country, perfect for growing lychees and longans—you know how much you love them. So I want to buy some."
"Buy it! I’ll send the carts right away."
Xiao Hao suddenly whimpered and complained, "But they say I’m a fox spirit, a calamity to the country, and refuse to sell to me. Not only that, they say they wouldn’t even throw it on the ground to feed the dogs."
"The southern country dares slander my lady like that!" Shoukang Xiuqiu’s killing intent rose. "Bring me the marching maps! From now on, we’ll never be short of lychees again."
"Once we conquer them, we’ll eat for free and to our heart’s content!"
---
Because of lychees, the southern king whose country was destroyed muttered:
"Damn! Those treacherous merchants fooled me!"

[Era + Military Marriage + Stepmother + Raising a Child + Beloved by the Family + Real and Fake Heiress]
Xin Yue transmigrated into a period novel as cannon fodder, serving as the female lead's stepping stone and a means for the reborn female lead to rise to power.
In the original book, the reborn female protagonist steals the true identity of the original owner's daughter and goes to recognize her relatives in her place. However, the original owner is framed by the reborn female protagonist and kidnapped by human traffickers to a remote mountain village, where she is eventually tortured to death.
Xin Yue's arrival at the perfect time was right after she was abducted. Fortunately, she was rescued in time by a kind-hearted retired soldier.
Xin Yue took a liking to the heroic veteran who saved people at first sight, and after hearing his name, she immediately decided to cling to him and never let go.
Zhou Yuemin never imagined he could spend his life with a woman, but when that woman appeared, he seemed to become a completely different person.
He used to think of himself as a very capable person, but his wife was even more capable. She built a fishpond, sold shoes, built a shoe factory, opened a cosmetics store, and raised four children to be outstanding and independent. He ended up living a life of relying on her for support.
When the country was in trouble, Zhou Yuemin had to separate from his wife, but his longing and love for her only grew stronger with distance and time.
Especially at night.
Who would have thought that this great military genius, feared by the enemy, would be holding his wife's photo at night, sobbing and unable to sleep, so he went to wipe out a few more enemies.
The enemy raised his hand: Zhou Yuemin, you son of a bitch, don't make it so we can't sleep with our wives in our arms.
Zhou Yuemin's eyes were bloodshot. So he was showing off to me here. Bang bang bang, all wiped out.
Forced to marry into a family right after crossing over? Since I can't resist, I'll defeat magic with magic! Look at me marrying into six families!
What, you call this shameless?
No, no, this isn't my dark history, it's just the path I took!
Looking back, I'm already the number one son-in-law of the Great Zhou Dynasty, personally appointed by the Emperor!
Liu Bang: Rebellion? What rebellion? The Great Wall has 300,000 die-hard fans of the prince, and the royal court has 500,000 sworn cavalrymen. Tell me, who dares to rebel? Brother! Rebellion is a dead end. It's better to come with me and get a government position. That's the real future.
Xiang Yu: The Qin will be destroyed by Chu! Now he is the one with the most power, so... what? The prince personally invited me to be an official?
What do you mean by "destroying Qin"? I'm talking about King Qin! Hey! You traitor, how dare you harbor such rebellious intentions? I'll capture you and hand you over to the prince for punishment!
Han Xin: Huh? You two are still trying to compete with me for favor! I was exiled to the Great Wall with the young master when I was a teenager. How could you sow discord between us?
Wait! Sir, I really don't want to be the King of Qi! Slander! They are slandering me!
Ying Xuan watched with a smile as these three Chu-Han heroes threw dirty water at each other. It turned out that they had a feud and would not be able to live in peace even if they became colleagues. But wasn't this exactly what he wanted?
He silently opened the hand-drawn world map.
I can still hold on for a few more years. If there's no rush to clean up the mess at home, should we destroy the Donghu first? Or attack Loulan? Hey! I heard there's civil unrest in Rome? How about sending a group of Whips of God to help stir things up?
[Palace fighting + chasing wife to the crematorium + uncleanness of both men and women + three sons and one daughter + concubine doctor + scheming and weak beauty]
Yunyan's death was the unanimous decision of the whole family, just to use her child to pave the way for the Queen's eldest sister.
Five years later.
Her fate was not to end. Yunyan, who returned with a changed face, changed her name to Shen Zhiyi. On the surface, she was the emperor's savior. Relying on this life-saving grace, she was canonized as Concubine Shen and enjoyed great glory.
But no one knew that she was also the beautiful ex-wife of the newly crowned top scholar, and had a son with him.
She is gentle and kind in front of others, but vicious behind their backs. She faked pregnancy to win favor, plotted and framed others, alienated the emperor and empress, seized the throne, and demanded justice from those people step by step.
Everyone in the palace said that she was kind and gentle, but no one knew that in secret, her hands were stained with the blood of her enemies.
At first, the number one scholar's ex-husband just wanted to watch from the sidelines, but she used her hypocrisy to trick his true heart, so he had to collude with her and call her sister.
The emperor, who had someone else he loved, became furious when he learned that she didn't love him.
Even though they had not recognized each other, the twin royal heirs were close to her.
The child she had secretly with her ex-husband is very talented and only recognizes her.
The little son he had secretly with another man only has her in his heart and eyes.
She has three sons and one daughter. Men are just passing by, and children are her relatives.
Hmm? But why did these men, in the end, start asking her who she loved?
Nonsense, of course she only loves herself and her children.
Avoid: In the early stage, the emperor had real feelings for the queen, but the heroine did not love him. The heroine had had several men, and both of them were not pure.
