[A Woman in Government x Technical Political Intrigue x Two Strong Leads x Female Emperor]
An engineering PhD transmigrates to another world and becomes Ji Wangshu, a sheltered young woman falsely accused of treason.
With her astonishing talent for mechanical invention, she breaks into the Bureau of Military Equipment and earns her place in the imperial court through sheer ability.
Someone tries to pressure her? No matter. Her craftsmanship is peerless.
Someone tries to harm her? No matter. Her skills are almost divine.
Determined never again to be manipulated or treated like a pawn, she retreats behind the scenes and throws herself into her craft, building a network of artisans loyal only to her.
She advances step by step, but every step brings danger, as the tides of court politics repeatedly push her to the brink.
Until, at last, the palace towers rise before her, and all bow down.
Zhai Youji, the iron-blooded general guarding the northern frontier, is decisive in battle and commands a vast army.
Yet after one clash and shared hardship after another, he falls for this woman whose soul is unlike any other.
She once plotted to protect herself, using him for her own ends.
He knows he's been deceived, yet still chooses to help her conceal the truth from Heaven and shield her from harm.
The court seethes with intrigue, and factional rivalries teem with murderous intent.
One commands the art of weapon-making; the other controls the armies on the frontier.
Their alliance should be a grave threat to the court, yet they insist on facing life and death together.
“Wait for me three years. Three years from now, I'll marry you as a military governor, with no secondary wives or concubines.”
“All right.”
Three years passed in the blink of an eye. She gazed out over the vast land that belonged to her.
“I'll marry you with the rites of the imperial family, taking one husband, with no attendants or favorites.”
“Your servant thanks Your Majesty for her grace.”
Side by side, they built up the army, strengthened the nation, and safeguarded both their country and each other for a lifetime.
