Code of the Inner Palace: Gathering Intelligence in the Harem

Story Introduction:

In an alternate late Tang dynasty, the cold palace lies sealed and silent. Su Qingyin, a top modern intelligence analyst, awakens there. Faced with a desperate situation, she has no interest in currying favor or flattering anyone. Instead, she turns the palace's many halls into an invisible intelligence battlefield, wielding data like a blade as she quietly cuts through every conspiracy.

A bowl of spoiled rice can help her weave a network of allies, while one precise prediction of celestial events can shake the emperor's heart. Refusing to be a pawn, she eventually becomes the strategist at the emperor's desk, both the one he fears most and the one he cannot do without.

And the high-stakes contest of power and wits between her and the young emperor has only just begun.
