00:00The emperor was shocked to discover that the future empress was not only extremely ugly,

00:04but also had a face covered in beard.

00:06That very night, he ordered his secret guards to report her movements to his sworn enemy,

00:11intending to use him to kill her without getting his own hands dirty.

00:14What he didn't know was that she possessed a beauty capable of toppling empires

00:18and unmatched martial arts skills.

00:20She had purposely spread those horrible photos to scare off noble sons who sought her hand in marriage.

00:26The day she learned that the emperor wanted to make her empress,

00:28she immediately understood his true intentions.

00:32He wanted control over her father's 400,000 soldiers.

00:35Without much thought, she slammed her hand on the table and suggested that her father raise an army.

00:40But she didn't expect her father to refuse immediately.

00:43Although he wanted to rebel, he had no desire to become emperor.

00:46She didn't want the responsibilities of the throne either.

00:49She only wanted to enjoy the privileges.

00:51Her younger brother, still a child, also said he just wanted to stay alive and avoid trouble.

00:55At that crucial moment, her mother offered a brilliant idea.

00:59If rebellion was too complicated, it would be better to enter the palace as empress and behave well.

01:04Then, once she had a child, she could devise a plan to seize power without lifting a finger,

01:10declaring her son emperor without opposition.

01:12Hearing this, she thought it was a genius plan and immediately asked her father to arrange the wedding.

01:17Meanwhile, the emperor continued monitoring her in secret,

01:21seeing that she was about to arrive in the city and that his enemy had done nothing.

01:24In fact, had even sent soldiers to escort her.

01:27He grew uneasy.

01:29Confident in his own fighting abilities, he went out with his bodyguards,

01:32covering his face with a cloth that had his enemy's name written on it.

01:35Her personal guards quickly noticed someone had been tailing her for over 100 kilometers,

01:39but never attacked.

01:40The two sides soon clashed.

01:42When her guard saw the enemy's name on the cloth,

01:44they assumed he was an assassin sent by their rival.

01:47But she immediately denied it,

01:49saying no one so stupid would write that they were a villain on their face.

01:52Clearly, it was a trap to frame someone else.

01:55After a hearty meal, she saw a fight happening outside and decided to go out and stretch her muscles.

02:00The emperor, who had lived his whole life in the palace, was no match for her.

02:04Even though he attempted a dirty move,

02:06she beat him so badly that his face was left a mess and he fled in defeat.

02:11He didn't even realize that the jade pendant he wore had shattered.

02:14Furious and humiliated,

02:15the emperor ordered a new group of elite fighters to capture the one who had hurt him.

02:20But the next day, not only did they return empty-handed,

02:23they came back bruised and battered.

02:25Left with no choice,

02:26he had to temporarily suspend the assassination plan.

02:29But she hadn't escaped and scathed either.

02:32The blow had left five clear marks on her collarbone.

02:34With the wedding the next day,

02:35she feared the emperor would see the injuries and become suspicious.

02:39The three of them discussed it and decided to use a special method.

02:42On the wedding day,

02:43since neither expected much from the other,

02:45they didn't even look each other in the eye.

02:47But when they ascended the altar to offer incense,

02:49the emperor noticed she barely touched his hand,

02:52as if disgusted.

02:53Feeling humiliated,

02:54he gripped her hand tightly

02:56and used internal energy to try and teach her a lesson.

02:59But she calmly returned the pressure with her own energy,

03:02so strongly that he nearly saw stars.

03:05Not wanting to lose face in public,

03:07the emperor let go under the pretense of offering incense.

03:10Back at the palace,

03:11he saw his hand was deformed from the exchange.

03:14Enraged,

03:14he sought revenge,

03:15but couldn't act openly.

03:17So he ordered the palace chief,

03:18who welcomed her to be beaten in front of the empress's gate.

03:21But just as the punishment began,

03:23her two maids intervened,

03:24not only rescuing the chief,

03:26but nearly turning the guards into eunuchs.

03:28The emperor thought she just wanted to stir up trouble

03:30to force him to visit her.

03:31So out of spite,

03:33he spent the night with his favorite concubine.

03:35But that was exactly what she wanted.

03:36Just as she was preparing to bathe and change,

03:38she received word that the emperor was coming.

03:41In a panic,

03:42she told her maids to hide

03:43and quickly put on a veil.

03:44When the emperor saw her,

03:46and she refused to remove the veil,

03:47he assumed it was because she was afraid

03:49to show her ugly face

03:50and insulted her.

03:52She fired back without fear.

03:53The argument escalated.

03:55In the heat of it,

03:56she noticed a piece of broken jade at his waist.

03:58It was identical to the one left behind

04:00by the mysterious attacker.

04:02She immediately tried to snatch it,

04:03but the emperor was faster

04:05and blocked her move.
