Modern archaeology PhD Su Wan travels back to the Great Ning Dynasty and becomes the "Founding Grand Empress Dowager". After the late emperor's sudden death, a seven-year-old boy ascends the throne, and Su Wan—an orphaned widow—is pushed into the high position, merely a "puppet" manipulated by court officials. With the empress dowager plotting to seize power, northern barbarians invading, and the treasury so empty that even officials' salaries can't be paid, she binds to the sarcastic "Empire Restoration System" in despair. She uses modern marketing to sell porcelain and refill the treasury, wins over ministers with hot pot banquets, and uses system-given cultivation skills to fend off assassins. However, she attracts the "hostility" of Regent Rong Jing—a reborn man who witnessed the empire's fall in his previous life and intended to save it alone, but is thrown off by Su Wan's "unconventional methods". From bickering to collaborating, Rong Jing secretly shields her from danger, while Su Wan solves his court troubles with "milk tea diplomacy". Hilarious moments abound: the system mocks her for "eating tanghulu without dignity as a grand empress dowager", and Rong Jing, though icy on the surface, secretly keeps her lost hairpin. When Su Wan thinks she can return to modern times, she realizes she can't live without Rong Jing—and the system's secret is to let her find "her true home". Watch how a modern female PhD revives the crumbling empire with her "cheat tactics" and turns the cold regent into a "clingy husband"!
