This is an exciting novel about women's awakening that subverts the traditional narrative of palace battles. It tells the story of a biochemical doctor who traveled through time and became a maid in a cold palace, using modern scientific thinking and management systems to tear apart the legend of feudal shackles. When Wei Yanwan discovered that her "golden finger" was not the emperor's favor but "Game Theory" and "Labor Law", she led thirty-six palace maids to set off an institutional revolution in the Forbidden City: establishing an ingredient traceability system in the imperial kitchen, using the imperial heir in the pregnant concubine's belly to force food safety standards; cultivating penicillin in pickle jars, turning the imperial hospital's arsenic prescription into a joke; transforming the cold palace into a women's mutual aid bank, turning the blood-stained deed of prostitution into a class action lawsuit. From dissecting the corpses of palace maids to exposing medical shady stories, to using Morse code to connect six palace intelligence networks; from playing chess in front of the emperor to construct a Nash equilibrium model, to using logistics reform to hide the fire of equal rights - this is a dimensionality reduction attack that uses science to disenchant imperial power, and it is also an epic of the awakening of women in the deep feudal palace. When blood-stained underpants become evidence of labor arbitration, when menstrual belts become penicillium filters, and when retired palace maids take charge of the financial system, Wei Yanwan declares with action: the real palace battle is not to step on the bones of sisters to gain power, but to reconstruct the rules that allow all women to stand upright.
