Quick Transmigration: The main focus is on speed.

"Crown Prince, Father, Mother, Nian'er misses you all so much. Please take Nian'er away..." A woman dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe knelt on the main hall, gazing blankly at the dragon throne above, her eyes filled with unspeakable sorrow.

The late emperor of Qi Kingdom had few children, with only one son and one daughter. His son, Qi Yuan, was made crown prince at a young age, while his daughter, Qi Nian, was the only princess of Qi Kingdom. She was pampered from childhood and was betrothed to the son of the Prime Minister of Qin. The late emperor and empress were only waiting for Qi Nian to stay for a few more years, and when she reached the appropriate age, the two would be allowed to marry.

Contrary to expectations, two months ago, the Crown Prince fell ill for no apparent reason and died vomiting blood during the morning court session. He was already lifeless before the imperial physician could even be summoned. The Crown Prince's death caused widespread panic in the court, especially since the late emperor had no siblings and there were no other blood relatives of the late emperor in the royal family.

The late emperor was deeply saddened to see his grown son die before his eyes, unable to utter a single word in his final moments. In just one day, his hair turned completely white, and he aged more than ten years.

Two months later, the late emperor, like the crown prince, died of vomiting blood during the morning court session. The cause of his illness could not be found and was attributed to a family hereditary condition. The late empress followed him in death, hanging herself with a foot-long white silk ribbon from the beam of the Phoenix Palace.

With only Qi Nian remaining as the sole member of the royal bloodline in the entire Qi Kingdom, Prime Minister Qin, the most respected official in the court, stepped forward and supported the empress.

Qi Nian was thus thrust onto the throne, and she's still completely bewildered. She doesn't understand what an empress is, nor does she know how to govern the Qi Kingdom. She's incapable of it.

No matter how much Qi Nian knelt before the dragon throne and wept, she remained powerless. Her father and brothers, whom she longed for, failed to appear and offer any guidance. Qi Nian was thus forced into becoming the Empress of Qi Kingdom.

She thought that she would learn from her father, the emperor, and be busy with state affairs every day, or at the very least, be like her elder brother, the crown prince. But in reality, she became a puppet empress in the hands of Prime Minister Qin.

On ordinary days, she had to kneel and serve her mother-in-law, and she also had to arrange for her husband to take concubines and make those illegitimate sons princes, thus confusing the royal bloodline.

The people, who regarded the royal family as gods, were unaware of Qi Nian's plight and still believed that their emperor was still as loving as his own children.

Everyone in the court could see Qi Nian's predicament, but no one dared to step forward. This was because Prime Minister Qin had completely taken control of the Qi Kingdom, and no one would risk their life for a mere princess of Qi.

It wasn't that no one helped them; General Zhou, who was far away on the border, and the Empress's maternal family had both tried their best to help. But in the end, Qi Nian died tragically at home without even getting a chance to see him.

Everyone knew that it was Prime Minister Qin who did it, but no one dared to expose it.

Qi Nian was imprisoned in the backyard, and was only brought out by Prime Minister Qin when necessary.

The poor suddenly became rich. When Prime Minister Qin went from being second only to the emperor to becoming the master of the State of Qi, he had no compassion for the people of Qi. He only wanted to enjoy life and power and suppress his former colleagues who were not on good terms with him.

The State of Qi was thrown into chaos by the Prime Minister of Qin, and with the death of General Zhou, unrest broke out on the border, resulting in the loss of several cities. The people suffered greatly. And that wasn't all; perhaps even Heaven couldn't bear to see the Prime Minister of Qin's debauchery, his revelry day and night, and his debauchery, and he treated the people like ants.

When natural disasters struck, tens of thousands of people in the north of Qi lost their harvest due to drought, while tens of thousands of people in the south lost their homes due to floods. Except for the capital, the entire Qi kingdom was littered with corpses and plagued by disasters. In order to survive, the people eventually resorted to cannibalism.

Seeing this, the neighboring country led a large army to plunder cities one by one, and finally invaded the capital.

In the main hall, Qi Nian was still wearing that bright yellow dragon robe, sitting blankly on the dragon throne. His eye sockets were empty, leaving only two dark holes. There was no bloodstain, and the wounds had healed. It seemed that his eyes had been gouged out for more than a year.

"A hen crowing at dawn disrupts the court; an empress ascending the throne is an omen of misfortune for the nation. Overturning moral order will inevitably plunge the world into chaos." Ji Guo's words back then seemed like a prophecy.

Qi Nian became a tool for the Ji Kingdom to appease the people. Countless people would rather starve than give up and chase after the prison cart that imprisoned Qi Nian, just to see this incompetent empress who had brought so much suffering to the people of the Qi Kingdom, and if they could vent their anger on her, all the better.

Water can both capsize and carry a boat. The people, who once regarded the royal family as gods, now deeply resent Qi Nian—resent her for losing their country, for failing their ancestors, for forgetting her people, for everything…

Qi Nian is dead, killed by her own people. She wasn't idle these past few years, but call her stupid or cowardly, it was like an ant trying to shake a tree—utterly impossible.

Why didn't Prime Minister Qin kill her too? Why was she chosen, making her a sinner of the Qi Kingdom?

Yes, Qi Nian has just investigated the cause of death of the late emperor, empress, and crown prince, but what can she do? There is nothing she can do, otherwise she wouldn't have had her eyes gouged out by Qin Shengsheng just because Qin Shengsheng's concubine said, "Is the emperor looking at me with dissatisfaction?"

On her deathbed, Qi Nian was still praying for an afterlife; she didn't want to be human again.

Perhaps it was a test from heaven for Qi Nian, for Qi Nian was reborn on the day the late emperor died. Thinking of everything he was about to face, Qi Nian kowtowed to the dragon throne and then planned to smash his head against the palace wall to die. However, he ended up hitting Qi Yuan's soul squarely.

The expected pain did not come. Qi Nian subconsciously touched her forehead, not understanding what was going on. But seeing that time was running out, she gritted her teeth and rammed her head into the ground again.

Qi Yuan: Even though I've become a ghost, it still hurts to get hit a couple of times, okay?

Qi Yuan reached out and placed a hand on Qi Nian's forehead. Qi Nian felt a resistance and could not move forward.

"Father? Mother? Crown Prince? Don't stop me, let me die! I'm a useless piece of trash, I don't want to be a sinner of Qi Kingdom anymore. You love me so much, so please take me with you, okay?" After saying that, Qi Nian noticed that the resistance on his forehead had disappeared, and he slammed forward again.

By sheer coincidence, the object bumped into the original owner's jade pendant. Instantly, Qi Nian's soul was sucked in, her body went limp, and she stopped breathing.

Qi Yuan looked at the jade pendant speechlessly, then glared fiercely at Qi Yuan in the space. They were already asleep, and they were still showing kindness? On one hand, they wanted the Qi Kingdom to be good, but on the other hand, they couldn't bear to make things difficult for Qi Nian. Now what? Did they expect him to become the empress?

He's not stupid; he's not going to be some kind of workhorse.

Thus, on Earth in the 21st century, a novel titled "The Incompetent Empress" suddenly appeared. Its synopsis even specifically stated that the book could be adapted at will, and if the incompetent empress could be transformed into a wise ruler, the author would receive a million-dollar reward.

Reading novels every day was a waste of money and time, but no one expected that there would be a chance to make a fortune. For a time, "The Incompetent Empress" became a hot topic of discussion.

Driven by the million-dollar prize, many established writers have jumped into the fray, along with numerous novice writers.

Ultimately, a new author named "I Am the Empress" won the substantial prize money.

In a five-square-meter rented room, a girl wearing floral shorts, a white tank top, and messy hair sat cross-legged on the bed with a computer on her lap. When she saw a million dollars transferred to her account, she jumped up instantly. In her excitement, she hit her head on the ceiling. When she opened her eyes again, she had become Empress Qi Nian.

"No way? Is this money so hot to handle? Hey? You've transmigrated, so what? Do you have any cheat codes?" Qi Nian shouted at the empty dragon throne.

After waiting for a long time without hearing the mechanical voice from the novel, Qi Nian knew that she could only rely on herself. Sigh, she should have just left the million. She didn't expect that before she even spent the money, her life would be in danger.

What is the most painful thing in life? Isn't it having the money but losing yourself?

Qi Nian wanted to cry but had no tears, but thinking of the huge sum of one million in modern times, she decided to try her best to survive. Luckily, she wrote the derivative work herself; if she had hired a ghostwriter, she wouldn't even have any references left.

When Qi Nian first read the book "The Incompetent Empress", she put herself in the Empress's shoes. The derivative work she created was also the result of careful deliberation. In order to do this, Qi Nian also learned a lot of knowledge and theories that are essential for transmigrators. Fortunately, she has a good memory. So let's see if her ideas can successfully turn the tables.

The coronation ceremony had ended, and soon Qin Shengsheng's mother would send someone to invite Qi Nian to the Prime Minister's residence. In a completely different manner from her usual kind and gentle demeanor, Qi Nian gave her a rude awakening as soon as she entered the door.

Sure enough, Qi Nian dusted himself off, got up and sat on the dragon throne. Before he could even sit down properly, a eunuch came in to report.

"Your Majesty, the Qin family has sent someone to invite you to their residence for a chat." The little eunuch trembled with fear, not daring to even raise his head.

The same was true in her previous life, but Qi Nian was so focused on finding someone to rely on that she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

"Oh? The Prime Minister invites me to his residence for a chat?" Qi Nian said coldly.

The young eunuch immediately knelt down and cried out, "This servant was unaware, please punish me, Your Majesty."

"Enough. The court officials have not yet left the palace. Make sure everyone knows that Prime Minister Qin invites me to his residence for a chat."

"Yes, this servant takes his leave." The little eunuch suddenly looked up, his eyes full of inquiry as he looked at the Empress. Qi Nian glanced at the little eunuch, who quickly got up and left the main hall.

"My goodness, I'm so scared! How can a mere eunuch have such a look in his eyes? Is it true that a strong general has no weak soldiers under his command?" Qi Nian didn't mean any discrimination against eunuchs, but the little eunuch who had just returned overheard her last sentence.

The young eunuch's eyes softened slightly, but he didn't come in; instead, he turned and went back to his work.

A quarter of an hour later, the palace was filled with court officials who had heard the news. The officials were terrified that the Empress had so willingly gone to the Qin residence. If so, did the Qi Kingdom belong to the Empress, or to that wolfish and ambitious Prime Minister Qin?

In her previous life, everything was done in private. By the time the court officials found out, Qi Nian had already knelt down and kowtowed to Qin's mother. Even if the court officials wanted to stop her, it was too late.

It was precisely because Qi Nian so easily yielded and was so weak and incompetent that her knees seemed to have no backbone at all. This caused many court officials who had originally placed high hopes on her to gradually lose faith and hope, and no longer entrust the future of the country to this seemingly weak and easily bullied empress.

"Your Majesty, you mustn't!" As soon as Qi Nian came out, the court officials knelt down to dissuade him.

Qi Nian glanced at the court officials and was shocked to find that the little eunuch was quite clever; there wasn't a single one of the prime minister's men present.

"Alas, I did not want to, but the Prime Minister said that filial piety is the most important virtue. Although I am the emperor, the supreme ruler, I should be filial to the Prime Minister and his wife, and even treat them as my own parents..." Qi Nian said this while frowning slightly, revealing a hint of helplessness and resentment on his face.

Qi Nian's words were practically an open declaration that Prime Minister Qin and his wife wanted to become the retired emperor and empress dowager.

The court officials weren't stupid; they naturally understood the meaning behind Qi Nian's words. They were all indignant, especially the military officers, who rolled up their sleeves and were about to head to the Qin residence. Qi Nian didn't stop them.

The officials exchanged glances, their eyes darting around, and then the military officers followed them out of the palace, leaving a few behind to keep an eye on Qi Nian and make sure she didn't actually leave.

That day, the people of the capital watched as a large group of people headed straight for the Prime Minister's residence, formed a circle, and began shouting at the gate of the Qin residence.

"Prime Minister Qin wants to become the retired emperor, and his wife wants to become the empress dowager." These other military officers might not say it, but when it came to challenging each other, they were all incredibly loud.

They couldn't remember all the instructions the officials had given them, but they remembered this one sentence, which was enough.

The onlookers, hearing the officials in their robes say this, began to sympathize with the Empress. In addition, the censors sent people to tell the crowd how pitiful the Empress was. First, she lost her brother, and soon after, her father and mother. She thought her fiancé would be her support, but unexpectedly, her fiancé's family wanted to humiliate her.
