Great Wei is in turmoil, beset by domestic troubles and foreign threats, with the affairs of state in dire straits.
The court is rife with factions locked in endless strife, making it difficult to carry out government affairs. With the emperor growing old, he has no choice but to appoint the young top scholar Si Jingxiu to the position of chief minister.
Can he fight his way through the ranks and save Great Wei from peril, and its people from suffering?
A case involving the Jiangnan grain transport system tears away the veil concealing Great Wei's officialdom. Who will escape unscathed?
Qin Su, a merchant's daughter with the soul of a modern soldier, has lost both her parents and is all alone. She had planned to use her modest wits to earn some money and start a carefree life.
But would fate really waste her excellent genes and let someone so capable live an ordinary life? While negotiating a business deal, she ends up saving a man by chance, only to discover that he is the prime minister. From then on, the wheels of fate send their lives down a different path.
The two join forces, watching the clouds drift by, navigating turbulent currents, and witnessing a prosperous age!
Originally, the plot seemed pretty good, but since the author wanted to use some system space, I'd better give it a five-star rating, even though I don't like those with system space 🤦 🤦 🤦
I hope the table of contents doesn't have numbers and adds some plot keywords.
