Long Live My Empress

Yu Ange, the daughter of a prestigious military family, was tortured to death by enemy forces, only to discover in her final moments that she was merely cannon fodder in a book. The female protagonist of that book claimed to be a transmigrator. With her borrowed verses and eccentric behavior, she not only stole Yu Ange’s fiancé and caused the death of the brother who doted on her most but also colluded with the enemy and betrayed the nation. Through a “romance that toppled a kingdom,” she threw the world into chaos, leaving the land drenched in blood. Living her life over again, Yu Ange disguises herself as a man. Treading over the corpses of the transmigrator and her enemies, she carves her path into the imperial court one step at a time. Finally, she sets foot upon the dragon throne, looking down at the assembled ministers: “This seat—I want it.” The officials kneel and cry out in unison: “Long live my Empress—” Everyone says the deposed crown prince is indifferent and detached from worldly desires, always carrying a string of Buddhist beads and dressed in white, as cold and distant as a fallen immortal. But no one knows how many dark and windy nights he climbed through Yu Ange’s window, pinning her against the bed in a lingering embrace. Only when the prayer beads scattered and his white robes were in disarray did he ask with bloodshot eyes: “You want the world to be at peace, you want the seas to be calm and the rivers clear… could you also want… me?” [Cool and Capable ‘Big Bad Wolf’ Female Lead vs. Cunning ‘White Fox’ Male Lead]
