Exemplary Mother of the Realm: Starting by Impersonating the Prime Minister’s Widow

When you are out in the world, identity is something you give yourself.

To blend into the circles of the powerful and avenge the extermination of her elder sister’s family, Feng Qingsui decided to impersonate a distant cousin from a high-ranking household.

Who would have thought that just as she was about to go and seek shelter, the family she had picked was already being searched and confiscated by the imperial guards.

She changed to another household, and it was raided too.

She changed again, and it was still raided.

She could no longer stand it, so she knocked on the door of the residence of that “prime minister who raids houses.”

“Your concubine is the widowed wife of General Ji.”

—

Ji Changqing’s twin brother died choking on a rice ball when he was nine.

His mother was devastated and nearly went mad.

He quietly buried his brother and from then on lived as two people: one part of him was himself, the other pretended to be his brother.

By accident, he combined civil and military achievement in one person.

After being appointed prime minister, maintaining his double life became impossible, so he had no choice but to arrange for the “brother” to die in battle.

Unexpectedly, just after the funeral, a young lady came to his door, claiming to be his brother’s widowed wife.

He: “...”

Heh, she really doesn’t know death from life.

Let’s see how he deals with her!

Who would have thought that while dealing with her, he would end up cleaning up her messes instead...

Years later, the crown prince asked him, “Father Emperor, wasn’t your original wish to be a pure minister? Why did you later seize power and usurp the throne?”

He let out a long sigh.

“Your mother can kill her way through anywhere she goes. If I don’t become emperor, I won’t be able to hold it together.”
