Chapter 1: The New Empress and Her Soldiers

In a simple yet elegant hall, the officials and soldiers knelt.

Above them was a throne carved out of gold and Jade. It symbolized the sovereign power and supreme majesty of this country!

Not far away from the throne, a beautiful woman in a black and red dragon robe, a phoenix crown with gold beads and Jade, a belt with two dragon beads around her waist, and a pair of golden silk boots slowly walked over.

Her eyes were like the cold moon, her eyebrows were thin, and her face was cold and beautiful, with a bit of an imposing presence. When she walked, her steps were steady, her posture was poised, and there was an indescribable dignity and nobility in her every movement!

In her arms was a long sword. Although the sword was sheathed, it carried the aura of an emperor. There was the faint roar of a dragon within the scabbard!

This was the King’s Sword that symbolized the position of the ruler of a country! The owner of this sword would be the king of their country!

The person holding the sword was the new empress of Kingdom Qin, Ying Yiren!

Eight hundred years ago, Kingdom Dayi overthrew the previous dynasty and unified the world. After that, the Emperor conferred titles of nobility on many of his subjects, and many vassal states were thus formed in the world.

After 800 years, the royal family of Kingdom Dayi had long declined. With the death of the king of Kingdom Dayi by the Demon Emperor, the world fell into chaos! There were disputes among the vassal states, and the kings of each country wanted to achieve hegemony and unify the world again.

During this period, seven relatively powerful countries were formed. Kingdom Qin was one of them.

Not long ago, the previous emperor of Kingdom Qin was injured in the battle with Kingdom Wei and soon died of illness. According to his will, the throne would fall into the hands of his eldest daughter, Ying Yiren.

In this world, both men and women could inherit the throne. In this era, women had greater accomplishments than men. The emperors of the other six countries were all women!

“Please ascend the throne, Your Highness. I pledge my allegiance to you!” Below the steps, a grey-haired old man with a hunched back took the lead and shouted.

“Please ascend the throne, Your Highness. I pledge my allegiance to you!! Long live the new empress!” the ministers chorused.

While they were shouting, Ying Yiren slowly sat on the throne. At this moment, the destiny of Kingdom Qin fell into the hands of Ying Yiren. The Phantom of a blackbird appeared behind her, and the powerful aura made everyone breathless.

Ying Yiren’s cold gaze swept across the ministers as she slowly said, “Everyone, rise!”

All the officials stood up and looked at Ying Yiren, waiting for her first decree.

“The first thing I’m going to do after ascending to the throne is to take revenge on Kingdom Wei!” Ying Yiren raised her sword and shouted.

“Kingdom Wei stole my land and killed my father. This is a feud that must be avenged!

“Therefore, my first order is to reorganize the army and wage a war against Kingdom Wei!”

As soon as Ying Yiren finished speaking, the old subject below said, “Your Highness, our army just lost not long ago. The morale is low and the grain and weapons are insufficient. If we start a war now, I’m afraid it will be bad for our country.”

The one who spoke was Meng Yuan, a minister to three emperors, the representative of Kingdom Qin’s aristocratic forces, and the state minister of Kingdom Qin.

Meng Yuan was a man of virtue and prestige, and almost all the officials followed his lead. As Meng Yuan spoke, the ministers all said, “The state minister has got a point. Your Highness, please do take a second thought.”

Ying Yiren didn’t expect that her first order would be blocked, but she had just ascended the throne, and her power was still unstable, so she couldn’t do anything.

She could only hold her breath. “Since that’s the case, we’ll discuss this matter later. Everything will be as usual.”

…

After the court session, Ying Yiren was still fuming.

“These old bas*ards! You just called me Your Highness but you ain’t treating me like one cuz you object to everything I say! Sooner or later I’ll take care of you one by one!”

“Get me some wine. I want to drink!” In her own bedroom, Ying Yiren was no longer as stern as before. She rolled up her sleeves, popped the cork off the bottle, and gulped down the shot.”

“Smooth!” Ying Yiren took a big gulp and began to think about her plans after she ascended the throne.

“At the moment, Kingdom Qin is weak and the Xiongnu people are a threat to the north. The Rongdi tribe in Longxi is also restless and the neighboring countries want to take over the land of Kingdom Qin, particularly Kingdom Wei, which relied on its powerful strength to start a war on a yearly basis! If I don’t do a good job running the country, I’m afraid the country will be destroyed in my hands!”

“No, no, I have to come up with a good strategy.”

Ying Yiren thought as she drank. However, after thinking for a long time, she still had no clue. Kingdom Qin had no money, no food, and no military muscle. It practically had nothing in its favor. Not to mention competing for hegemony with the other six states, even securing their own position would be difficult.

“What do we do? What do we do?” Ying Yiren rubbed her head in frustration. At that moment, a voice rang in her head.

“The Emperor Simulator has been launched. Players can choose to simulate their lives.”

“Who is it? Are you a ghost?” There were demon creatures in this world, and Ying Yiren’s first reaction was that they were spying on her.

However, when she released her spiritual sense to investigate carefully, she found no demons. Furthermore, as the ruler of a country, she was under the protection of the national destiny, so ordinary demons and devils could not get close to her.

“The Emperor Simulator is currently transmitting the information.” The voice in Ying Yiren’s mind rang out again, and a message entered Ying Yiren’s consciousness.

Ying Yiren quickly understood that this was a magical simulation game. This game was a complete simulation of the world she was in. She needed to carry out various operations in the game before she could finally unify the world and achieve the great cause of the empress!
