Jiang Pengji got something called the Court Intrigue Stream System.
System: "Your goal is to become the most prestigious woman in the kingdom (the Queen)!" 
Jiang Pengji: "Okay, System. No problem!"
Years later, she met the target by becoming the most prestigious woman (the Empress).
Jiang Pengji: "Well done, no?"
System: "Why the hack did you fight on horseback? I want court intrigue among the King's women!"

System: "So, your plan is to use Meng Liang in exchange for that officer's loyalty? Did you ask if Meng Liang is okay with that?"

Jiang Pengji tsked at the System before replying, "Do I need to ask permission from someone who robs others of their lives?"

System: "…are you trying to play god!"

"I've always been one," Jiang Pengji rolled her eyes and chuckled.

Could she afford to be more shameless?

The System was not the only one who thought Jiang Pengji was toying with someone else's life––even Liu She thought so, too.

Normal people would be thinking of ways to get rid of Meng Liang, or to safeguard themselves in case they got into trouble because of him.

But Jiang Pengji? Her first reaction was to use him as an exchange for another's loyalty.

Was that how she planned to become the Jiang Dynasty's emperor? By ensuring that she had potential rivals working for her or locked away forever?

Nice Try, Kid (V)
