The Eternal Cycle of Rebirth in a Woman's World

[Female-dominated society / 1vN / household intrigue / political scheming / ensemble cast / high-ranking and powerful]

This is a world that has been “cultivated.”

Men bind their waists and wrap their Adam's apples. The only book they are allowed to study is The Admonitions for Men.

“Lack of talent is a woman's virtue” is written into the law, while “It is a small matter to starve to death, but a grave one to lose one's chastity” is carved onto memorial arches.

Women may take three husbands and four consorts, while men who show their faces in public are scorned. If they speak of the pain they endure, they are condemned for “not knowing their place.”

Everything feels familiar. Only the genders have been switched.

Ji Zhiqin has reincarnated 10,800 times, gradually realizing that this world is fake. Someone deliberately dumped the dregs of the ancient world into it without changing a single word.

The passage of time has not diluted the resentment. Instead, it has festered into a chronic illness, lurking in the depths.

She wants to know: Who did this? And why?

Blurb Two:

Ji Zhiqin is the youngest commissioner of the Huang Dynasty, holding power over its finances, with an empty household behind her.

Some call her cold and heartless, yet old acquaintances keep coming back to her one after another.

A chance encounter leads her to tie a fading red thread of fate, while an imperial marriage decree has her wed virtuous men from several noble houses, taking in pieces from different families.

Alas, courtly schemes and tangled love and hate are nothing but programs built from accumulated experience.

A transmigrated qin player has tried to kill her 327 times.

“I hate you. I hate you.”

“I hate you so much.”

The man sobs and chokes, devastated and powerless.

He is torn to pieces and swallowed. He cuts out his heart and lets her trample it, while she appears not to care, looking on as if it were nothing.

Ji Zhiqin opens the System panel and sees the affection levels: everyone is at 100, except for herself.
