A ruthless empress from ancient times—who conquered kingdoms and crowned herself ruler—awakens in the modern world as a scorned “fake heiress” and bullied daughter-in-law in a wealthy family. Refusing their outdated rules, she decides to take power in this new world. Her reckless husband is molded into a worthy “imperial consort,” while her hostile in-laws are gradually won over. Romance? She didn’t come for love—she came to seize power.
