Chapter 1 - The Queen Traveled Through Time
Xia Weibao had never imagined that she would live to see another day.
The memories of her past life ceased with the cup of poison following the death of the emperor.
As His Majesty passed away, the empress followed him in death, and the imperial couple was buried together.
When she opened her eyes again, it was a thousand years later, in the body of a has-been actress with the same name and surname.
In this era, stars were like the actors of ancient times, except that the status of modern actors seemed to be much higher.
She debuted at fifteen and soared to popularity.
At seventeen, by the virtue of a film, she won Best Actress and became the youngest winner in history.
Two scandal-free years upon her debut, she was seen as a rare gem in the entertainment industry!
Every one of Xia Weibao's works was a hit in ratings and well-received in reviews!
She was the legend who, in the eyes of the audience, could have easily relied on her looks but chose to dazzle with her acting skills!
She was an unattainable myth in the world of showbiz!
Yet, such a glamorous star, right after ascending the throne of Best Actress, was slandered in a drug and promiscuity scandal that appeared online the very next day.
The topic #BestActressDrugsandPromiscuity, From Chaste to Wanton Woman# instantly exploded across the internet!
And that wasn't all, her various indecent photographs began flooding everywhere.
As the wall crumbled, everyone turned against her. Artists who had worked with her stepped forward to denounce Xia Weibao as a diva who used body doubles and photo-editing, claiming her acting was all a sham.
Even her Best Actress title was said to have been acquired through bribery and sleeping her way up.
Directors who had collaborated with her publicly disclosed that Xia Weibao offered herself for roles.
Suddenly, controversies about hype, plastic surgery, mistresses, bribery, diva behavior, and underhanded tactics to rise to fame, all these allegations were being hurled at Xia Weibao.
The once clear stream of the entertainment circle had turned into a mudslide!
She was disgraced and her reputation shattered!
All this negative press was like a bolt from the blue to the kind-hearted Xia Weibao!
It caught her off guard.
Her agency unceremoniously terminated her contract without any explanation, and endorsements and film offers were canceled one after another.
The once-celebrated Best Actress became a pariah overnight.
Fans raged, cyberbullying ensued, and she faced wave after wave of personal attacks.
The hashtag #XiaWeibaoGetOutofShowbiz# quickly became the hottest topic!
Burdened with scandals, facing huge compensation fees, and fan backlash, she was almost driven to a breaking point.
Threatening letters, blood-stained knives, slaughtered chickens, all sorts of cruel pranks were incessant.
She was pelted with rotten eggs when she went out, her car was vandalized, and she couldn't buy anything at the supermarket; she was scorned by thousands!
Under immense pressure, Xia Weibao finally succumbed and lost her sanity.
She spent three years in a mental institution.
Until two days ago, a fiancé from who knows where appeared, took her out of the mental institution, and they got married.
But somehow, the deranged Xia Weibao fell down the stairs and died.
And that led to the rebirth of her soul.
Reflecting on the life of the original owner of this body, she was moved by its dramatic rise and fall.
Xia Weibao thought to herself, what a pitiful child.
On second thought, were the people of this era a thousand years later all fools to believe in such an obvious conspiracy?
Or was the power behind it so great that crushing Xia Weibao was as easy as crushing an ant?
After searching the memories in her mind, Xia Weibao was a simple and hardworking girl who hadn't argued with anyone for the two years since her debut, let alone held deep grudges.
Who would go to such lengths to completely ruin her?
Her head aching, Xia Weibao massaged her temples.
Let it be, she told herself. She was once the proud Empress of the Great Xia Kingdom, who dominated The Six Palaces and struck awe in the Imperial Court, an old demon over a thousand years. Afraid of the demons and monsters a thousand years later? Not a chance!
"Let dragons coil for me, and tigers crouch at my feet!" Her Majesty the Empress thought proudly as she stood up and placed her foot on the bedhead, exuding dominance!
As long as she could escape the lustful Dog Emperor, hell, she was even willing to accept this transmigration!!!
Snap—
Just then, a faint sound came from the doorway.
Xia Weibao turned her head to look and saw a calm and devastatingly handsome figure appear at the door, making her legs go weak and her body feel faint...
