WHAT'S YOUR REASON?

Wu Li had existed for many years, but no woman had become the ruler of the land. It was customary for rulers in Wu Li to be men, and it seemed like no woman had a chance of becoming number one in the empire no matter how talented she was.

Even if a woman came from a respectable family and was quite talented in politics, she would not be able to take over the throne in Wu Li. This time, Wu Jinhai thought that his grandmother also had the qualifications to be the ruler of Wu Li, and that was why he thought that she wanted to take the throne for herself.

"That's what you think?" Calmly, the Empress Dowager asked back instead of answering. "If that was truly what I wanted, then I wouldn't bother making Fu Zhan the new emperor of this empire. Instead, I would just take the throne for myself and make myself the first female ruler of Wu Li. But, I didn't do that, right? That's why you can rest assured because I'm not that greedy, Jiang'er."
