Matriarch of the World, Starting by Impersonating the Prime Minister's Widow
【Revenge + Face-Slapping Scumbags + Lighthearted + Sweet Romance】
When out and about, one's identity is self-assigned. To infiltrate the circle of the powerful and avenge her sister's annihilated family, Feng Qingsui decided to impersonate a distant cousin from a prominent family. Unexpectedly, just as she was about to seek refuge with her chosen family, that household was raided by the Imperial Guards. She switched to another family, and they were raided again. She switched yet again, and they were still raided.
Unable to endure it any longer, she knocked on the door of the "Raid-Happy Prime Minister." "This concubine is General Ji's widow."

When Ji Changqing was nine years old, his twin brother choked to death on a glutinous rice ball. His mother was grief-stricken, nearly driven to madness. He quietly buried his brother, and from then on, played two roles: being himself and impersonating his brother. Inadvertently, he became both a civil official and a military general. After being appointed Prime Minister, his double life became unsustainable, so he arranged for his "brother" to die in battle. He didn't expect that right after the funeral, a young woman would show up, claiming to be his brother's widow.
He: "..."
Hmph, truly not knowing her place. He'd show her! Who knew that as he tried to "deal" with her, he ended up helping this little trickster clean up her messes...
Many years later, the Crown Prince asked him: "Father Emperor, wasn't your initial aspiration to be a loyal minister? How did you end up usurping the throne?"
He sighed deeply.
"Your Mother Empress kills wherever she goes. If I didn't become emperor, I couldn't cover for her."
