She Holds the World After Being Reborn

In the residence of the Duke of Zhenguo, the legitimate young miss, known for her icy demeanor, had transformed overnight. She, who usually regarded no one, woke up to confront anyone she saw with a few harsh words, using her frail body to intimidate so much that no one dared to touch her. Afterwards, this legitimate young miss began taking on retainers, nurturing powerful officials, engaging in commerce, and recruiting troops… Every act so shocking and audacious, it defied the norms and provoked fear in all who spoke of her! Yan Wanqing was seen as an enchantress and a disaster by the people, a thorn in the flesh and a nail in the eye that the ministers wanted desperately removed, an entity everyone shunned as if she were a venomous snake. Only the Crown Prince Mingyue, descending from the divine altar, in the dark, godless alleys, grasped her neck and repeatedly asked her, "Will you marry me or not?"

Chapter 25: The Marriage Fate of the Crown Prince, Within the Great Hall

At the banquet, all the ladies felt somewhat puzzled, as today the Empress was particularly warm towards the Crown Prince.

This warmth manifested itself in her ceaselessly introducing the ladies to the Crown Prince, complimenting one on her lovely eyes, another on her beautiful nose, and yet another on her mastery of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, or her complete proficiency in poetry and prose. She praised each girl as if they were descending fairies from heaven, causing them both surprise and delight.

However, the Crown Prince did not seem very interested today, remaining cool and mostly silent, drinking one cup of wine after another. This made the girls who managed to get close to him even more reserved, fearful that a single misstep might ruin their chance to enter the Eastern Palace.
