In her past life, A Zhu assumed the identity of the Wei family's daughter, devoting all her wisdom to assist Chu Xuanjing in ascending the throne, only to be deposed as Empress due to her humble birth and die with regret amidst the cold snow. Returning to the day of selecting a spouse, she bypassed the familiar birth characters and chose the sickly, obscure fifth prince, Chu Xuanmin. On their wedding night, she confessed her background, and he was willing to share her faults with her. Relying on her practical talents in river management and bookkeeping, she disciplined the inner courtyard, investigated corrupt grain, established weaving workshops, respected each other and walked side by side with him, stepping from an orphan step by step to the pinnacle of power, ultimately living as a unique version of herself.
