Summary
Xiao Wen, a cold-blooded and undefeated general from the modern world, dies on the battlefield and awakens in the body of Empress Xiao Wen-a frail, beautiful, and famously useless figure in a ancient Chinese empire. The original Xiao Wen, son of Prime Minister Xiao, was raised with extreme indulgence, sickly since birth, gentle, emotional, fond of soft robes and feminine adornments, and utterly unsuited for the brutal politics of the inner palace. Hated by the Emperor, despised by ministers, and constantly schemed against by favored concubines, the empress was destined for a quiet, humiliating death.
But the soul inside the body is no longer the same.
The new Xiao Wen is ruthless, sharp-minded, and trained in war and strategy. Beneath silken sleeves and a fragile appearance lies a man who has commanded armies and crushed enemies without mercy. While the palace mocks his weakness and the Emperor views him as a decorative burden, Xiao Wen calmly begins to dismantle schemes, turn court politics into a battlefield, and rewrite his fate-without discarding the delicate mask the world expects him to wear.
As suspicion grows, fear spreads, and the Emperor slowly realizes that the empress he loathes is no longer someone he can control, a dangerous and inevitable entanglement begins. In a palace where beauty is a weapon and affection is a lie, transmigration turns a doomed empress into the most terrifying player of all-and love becomes the one variable even a general cannot fully predict.
