[Time Travel Across Eras] [Best Friend System] [Strong Female Lead] [Secret Identity] [爽文]
After her grandfather dies, her second uncle's family seizes the entire inheritance, leaving Fu Yue with nothing but a pile of battered old books she picked out of the trash.
Little does she know, the books can connect her to the ancient past.
A final letter falls out of one of them.
Fu Yue: "Why talk about dying? If you've got a score to settle, settle it first!"
Shangguan Jingyun: "That makes sense! So what should I do?"
Fu Yue: "First, deal with the mistress and kick that scumbag husband to the curb! Come on, you're a dignified commandery princess. What's wrong with divorcing your husband?"
Shangguan Jingyun's eyes light up. A few months later, she says, "I've driven that bastard and his whole family out. What next?"
Fu Yue: "Didn't you say an enemy kingdom was invading and the people were suffering? You're the mighty General Furong. What's wrong with putting down a rebellion?"
A year later, Shangguan Jingyun asks, "The realm is at peace again. What now?"
Fu Yue: "Take the throne, of course. What are you waiting for?"

Fu Yue is relaxing with milk tea, air conditioning, and strawberries when her cousin Fu Siying, from her second uncle's family, barges in.
"How dare you keep these priceless ancient books for yourself! According to Grandpa's will, they belong to me!"
She snatches the books away. "I heard you're the most revered strategist in the Great Jing Dynasty. Now that the books are in my hands, if I travel back, I'll be the one made a marquis and prime minister!"
Watching her leave, Fu Yue slowly opens the letter Shangguan Jingyun just sent her: "When they failed to recruit you, those people issued a bounty for your assassination..."
Fu Yue smiles. Fu Siying, if you want to be a walking target, then... good luck!
It's really not a cool article, I just feel aggrieved.
