Dressed as Empress: Disciplining the Rebellious Son and Reforming the Court

Empress Yun Zhiyi vanished for sixteen years while praying at Huangjue Temple. Upon her return, she finds her son has become a foolish emperor, officials are corrupt, and the enemy nation is preparing for war. Yun Zhiyi first has the emperor's son flogged in the ancestral hall, then forces all ministers to carry their own spikes to apologize, and recovers eight million taels of treasury in one night. When the Xianbei Khan kidnaps her children to force land concessions, she leads three thousand cavalry to raid the enemy camp at night, slams the surrender letter onto the Khan's face, and protects both her empire and her family. As the truth of her disappearance is revealed, the mastermind turns out to be someone closest to her.
