Then, at a crucial moment, she allowed Liu Xi a way out.
She had both parties running in circles, manipulating them with ease. Liu Xi, knowing he couldn't defeat her, had no choice but to submit and pledge his loyalty.
Later, Jiang Yuyan used her intelligence and wisdom to decipher the cultivation secrets recorded in the Six Harmonics Divine Dice, successfully mastering the techniques of Yi Hua Jie Mu and absorbing the internal energy of the two Palace Mistresses of Yihua Palace, Yao Yue and Lian Xing.
At this moment, she had become the undisputed number one under heaven, her power and martial arts reaching their peak.
With supreme power and absolute martial strength, Jiang Yuyan's greatest desire was to obtain Hua Wuque.
Ever since Hua Wuque rescued her from the brothel all those years ago, she had fallen hopelessly in love with him and dreamed of having him.
Now that she possessed the greatest power and the strongest martial prowess in the world, no one could threaten her, and she didn't need to curry favor with anyone. Naturally, she could do as she pleased.
Following the conventional, melodramatic tropes of television dramas, whether the female lead or a supporting character wanted to win the male lead's love, there were generally only two methods.
Either they endured hardship and humiliation, torturing themselves, to move the male lead, or they threw tantrums, cried, and threatened suicide, feigning pitifulness to make the male lead stay with them.
Jiang Yuyan's method was much simpler and more brutal: she went straight for it.
If I can't have your heart, I will have you.
Jiang Yuyan was a woman of action. As soon as she decided, she acted. After killing Tie Xinlan and seeing Hua Wuque consumed by grief, she promptly drugged him with a potent aphrodisiac prepared by the Old Ancestor of the Five Poisons and forced herself upon him.
After Hua Wuque exposed her true nature, Jiang Yuyan brazenly admitted that she kept three thousand male consorts, and Hua Wuque was her most beloved one.
This scene made the viewers watching on their screens exclaim: "Holy cow! Holy cow!"
After all, this kind of "tyranny" plot was typically something male characters did. Jiang Yuyan was the first female character in history to do something like this.
Such an unconventional approach shocked countless viewers.
Amazing!
You truly are my Sister Yan, so impressive!
After watching historical dramas for so many years, Jiang Yuyan is definitely the most powerful female character I've ever seen. Empress Yan, please accept my kowtow!
What Empress Yan? She's Emperor Yan. The old emperor is almost dead. The later previews show her wearing dragon robes. How can she be Empress Yan?
That's right, Emperor Yan!
Everyone stand up and welcome His Majesty Emperor Yan! Long live Emperor Yan, long live, long live!
The audience erupted, and the buzz spread like a virus, sweeping across the internet in an instant.

Keywords like these, after the episode concluded tonight, successively surged to the top of Weibo's trending topics.
Countless viewers flooded the platforms with posts, comments, and shares, expressing their adoration for the character Jiang Yuyan.
Not just Weibo, but Tieba, forums, Douyin, and Bilibili were also flooded with various posts and short videos.
My Yan Huang, if you don't like it, just do it!
So powerful, Jiang Yuyan is definitely the most beautiful, strongest, and most charismatic female villain I've seen in years of watching dramas!
Wearing dragon robes and becoming empress, keeping three thousand male consorts, my god, that's too amazing!
What is a strong female lead? This is a strong female lead!
A vicious female supporting character forces herself on the male lead and even succeeds, a plot that novels wouldn't dare to write, let alone a strictly regulated TV show!
