The Hu people are causing chaos, smoke of war rises everywhere, and the Han people are treated as two-legged sheep, suffering endless humiliation.
Good news: Cui Shu Ruo transmigrates into an aristocratic noblewoman and even has the Crow’s Mouth skill to rely on!
Bad news: She happens to transmigrate right before the Hu people breach the city, and her stepmother abandons her and flees alone!!
Cui Shu Ruo: “…”
A hellish start.
In order to live a stable and carefree life, Cui Shu Ruo finds Qi Tai Zong, who will one day establish a prosperous era, and sides with him early while he is still just the son of a provincial governor.
Tai Zong: What abilities do you have?
Cui Shu Ruo: I dreamt of an immortal at night. She taught me divine arts and instructed me to support a wise ruler—and that ruler is none other than Your Majesty!
Tai Zong: Nonsense!

Later, a great drought strikes Bingzhou.
The people resort to exchanging children to eat, and sorcerers kill innocent young girls as human sacrifices to heaven.
Cui Shu Ruo steps forward, bathed in radiant light, “Human sacrifices are useless; I can summon rain!”
No one believes her, thinking she is insane.
Cui Shu Ruo sets up an altar to perform rituals, secretly cursing the sorcerer to be drenched by rain wherever he goes within three days.
Thus, the sky rumbles with thunder, and a torrential downpour pours down!
The people are amazed, prostrating themselves and worshipping her as a divine elder!
Only the poor sorcerer, who once spoke arrogantly to Cui Shu Ruo, suffers. Even while sleeping indoors, the heavy rain washes away the roof tiles, soaking him thoroughly and causing a high fever that persists.

Later still, when Tai Zong rises in rebellion and faces a shortage of weapons, Cui Shu Ruo claims she can perform rituals to ask the immortals for weapons.
Another strategist jumps out, loudly denouncing her for pretending to be mystical and deceiving the masses.
Cui Shu Ruo merely smiles without a word, cursing that all soldiers will trip over weapons the moment they step out the next day.
Thus, all soldiers obtain weapons that cut iron like mud, achieving a great victory in battle.
As for the unlucky strategist, he is knocked bloody and bruised, nearly reaching his seventh day after death.
After witnessing Cui Shu Ruo’s prowess, Tai Zong believes in her wholeheartedly, swearing to share wealth and honor with her.

When she comes of age.
Court officials with ulterior motives (in unison): We request the princess to marry down!
Clan leaders coveting the seed formula: Our clans have nephews for the princess to choose from!
Tai Zong (jumping and cursing): Their intentions are condemnable.
After spending a night in the queen’s bedchamber, Tai Zong comes up with a new idea.
He summons Cui Shu Ruo and points to the court civil and military officials, “My sister is of noble status and should enjoy the Qi people’s blessing just like I do! If any catch your eye, feel free to take them away!”
A clever, selfish female lead who frequently unleashes her power × A brave young general male lead in bright clothes and on a spirited horse, unwavering in his devotion to one person.
