Reincarnated as the Queen of Versailles
One day, a Chinese university student wakes up in a strange, unfamiliar world, where people dress extravagantly and seem to not understand the meaning of privacy. Yep, she transmigrated in the 18th century French royal Court, the place with the most rigid and elaborate etiquette! Now, Li Lianying has to learn how to live as the crown princess of one of the most powerful monarchies of Europe.
What an easy and glamorous life, you might think! Nope, there’s one problem. She has reincarnated in the body of Marie-Antoinette, the last queen of France who lost her head during the Revolution!
Follow Li Lianying as she counter-attacks and tries her best to preserve the French monarchy and keep her head on her shoulders! Surrounded by enemies everywhere that are trying to destroy her, and hated by starving people who are preparing a revolution, Li Lianying can luckily rely on her system and some of her closest friends (or lovers) :
- her sweet, loyal husband Louis 16th
- Axel Von Fersen, a charming Swedish playboy who falls helplessly in love with her
- Gilbert De La Fayette, the “Hero of the Two Worlds” who fought for the American Independence
- Marie-Louise De Lamballe, a devoted and shy princess who would do anything to protect her friend
- Gabrielle De Polignac, a beautiful seductress who somehow gets attached to the Queen Marie-Antoinette
As Li Lianying tries her best to improve the living conditions of the people of her new country and to modernize the outdated feudal political system, she might get some unexpected allies. Allies that precisely come from the group of people that she fears the most : the revolutionaries. Why does Maximilien Robespierre, the terrifying and tyrannical leader of the Revolution, seem strangely fond of her?!
