CompletedDu Qingtang was born into a rural farming family. Her family was poor, and her father died young. To protect their few acres of land, her mother disguised her as a boy. Although Du Qingtang was a "boy", her mother taught her the "three obediences and four virtues" year after year, with the expectation that she would carry on the family line. She meticulously planned every step, painstakingly strategizing, dreaming of one day passing the imperial examination and becoming a high official. However, her identity was still exposed, leading to a tragic end. On the verge of death, Du Qingtang awakened her modern memories. She remembered that in modern society, men and women were equal, and women could study and even become officials.
In her second life, Du Qingtang picked up her books and continued her pursuit of the imperial examination. Rather than marrying and having children, living an ordinary life, she yearned to wield power, second only to one person. In the sixteenth year of Qingyuan, Du Qingtang passed all six levels of the imperial examination, becoming the youngest top scholar in Great Xia. The following year, Du Qingtang's female identity was exposed. All the officials rose up to attack her: "A woman in politics violates the way of Yin and Yang! This woman has deceived the emperor and committed insubordination; she should be severely punished!" Under pressure, Du Qingtang was demoted to a small border town. The border town was chaotic and disorderly, filled with displaced people; murder and robbery were commonplace, and people died every day. Everyone thought Du Qingtang would perish there. However, the previously inconspicuous border town became the Northwest's most prosperous pearl, collecting the most taxes. When foreign enemies invaded, the "Women's Army" personally formed by Du Qingtang routed the enemy, creating the miracle of six thousand defenders defeating fifteen thousand enemies. Upon her departure, the local people presented Du Qingtang with a "Myriad People's Umbrella" and erected a shrine in her honor. Du Qingtang turned the situation around, fighting a magnificent comeback battle. She returned to the capital in glory, entered the cabinet, ascended the platform, assisted two emperors in founding an era of prosperity, and became the first female Grand Chancellor in history!
The twenty-third year of Qingyuan was a year that women of Great Xia would never forget. In this year, the imperial court established women's schools and allowed women to participate in the imperial examinations. Also in this year, thousands of women, fearless of worldly opinions, walked out of their homes to study literature and practice martial arts. Looking back, they did not regret their original decision. From books, they saw another possibility. They were no longer simply "so-and-so's wife" mentioned in passing, but rather "Minister so-and-so" commanding the court, or "General so-and-so" galloping on the battlefield, slaying enemies. They too could be recorded in history and leave an everlasting legacy. "The world says women are inferior to men, but I refuse to accept my fate." "Grand Chancellor Du brought the east wind, and I will ride upon it, soaring ninety thousand li!"

CompletedSynopsis: Main story complete, extras continuously updating.
The Eastern Palace was abolished, Prince Zhao ascended the throne, and the court instantly turned upside down.
All the ministers bowed their heads, speculating on how the new emperor would purge the remnants of the Eastern Palace, especially the astonishingly talented Second Young Master Gu Ningxi of the Gu family.
Not to mention that Gu Ningxi was the deposed crown prince's confidant, simply put, the imperial decree that banished His Majesty to Jizhou back then was personally written by Gu Ningxi, who was then a Hanlin Academy editor.
In the Imperial Study, Gu Ningxi arrived by imperial decree.
The emperor, holding great power, casually toyed with a letter of resignation: "You want to request an external posting?"
Gu Ningxi pursed her lips: "This subject's talent is shallow, I hope Your Majesty grants permission."
Lu Jing's tone was light: "It seems Yuanle is only willing to pledge allegiance to your elder brother."
Gu Ningxi lowered her gaze: "This subject dares not."
The Gu family was a prestigious aristocratic family with a glorious lineage. However, because they had assisted the deposed crown prince, they were greatly ostracized in the new dynasty.
The Gu family's descendants walked on thin ice in court, and after family deliberation, they decided to sacrifice Gu Ningxi as a pawn to slightly appease His Majesty's anger and show the Gu family's submission.
Her father coldly informed her of the family's decision, and her only loving mother could only comfort her privately: "It's just a nominal death by illness; when the time comes, we will bring you back and find you a good marriage after you resume your daughter's identity."
She said nothing, shutting herself in her room for three whole days.
As the sun began to rise, just like when the Gu family sent her to serve as the crown prince's companion, she was always beyond her own control.
"Minister Gu, please."
The door to the Imperial Study closed behind her. Gu Ningxi knelt in the hall, requesting an imperial decree.
"This subject wishes to remain in the imperial court."
The young monarch looked down at her from above; beneath her crimson official robe, an jade belt outlined a waist so slender it could be encircled by one hand.
"What, then, everything else is for Us to dispose of as We please?"
From the male protagonist's perspective:
"A close friend in youth, yet assisted my elder brother and became my enemy."
"The person I set my eyes on naturally belongs to me."
"If she wants power, I can give it all to her."
In the end, the emperor chuckled to a friend: "I am merely the Empress's Grand General who conquered the North."
CompletedSynopsis: (A full subscription is only 3.45r. Creation is not easy, please support the original. For the ancient romance pre-publication "Sister-in-Law, Please Love Me", see details below the synopsis.)
For hundreds of years, the four great aristocratic families have stood firm, and now they have completely hollowed out the imperial court, disregarding imperial power. What's more, Emperor Tianchong is weak and incompetent, willing to be a puppet emperor.
But Min Shi'an is unwilling to be a puppet princess!
Therefore, she is cautious, secretly cultivating her own forces under the omnipresent rule of the Song family, and trying every possible way to get close to Song Sheng, who holds great power.
She plots to poison Song Sheng, then nobly saves him, intending to narrow the distance between them.
Although she did it very discreetly, Song Sheng still found out.
Good news: The distance between them has indeed narrowed.
Bad news: Song Sheng's hand is choking Min Shi'an's neck.
However, after being poisoned, Song Sheng seems to have had his brain damaged. He no longer avoids her constantly as he used to, but instead starts to provide her with all sorts of conveniences, always considering her first.
Min Shi'an suspects he has ulterior motives, but gradually, she finds that her initial plan seems to have been completed unknowingly!
Song Sheng's gaze towards her is somewhat ambiguous.
Min Shi'an is overjoyed; she is one step closer to that supreme throne.
Min Shi'an originally thought she was only using Song Sheng, but when Song Sheng's life was in danger, her heart ached.
Later, when Song Sheng single-handedly stood against all aristocratic families and resolutely supported her ascension to the throne, her heart was in turmoil.
"Your Highness, everything you desire, your subject will fulfill for Your Highness."
"Whether it's the throne, or your subject, both rightfully belong to Your Highness."
She dared not gamble how much of his sincerity was real, until her great endeavor was accomplished, only then did her heart truly find its home.
Even though her path forward was fraught with thorns, fortunately, Song Sheng always stood before her.
