After Zheng Shu died and transmigrated, she was given a mission: if she successfully helped a crown prince claim the throne, she could return to modern times.
But after dying eight times, Zheng Shu finally came to her senses. She was just a modern person, not some kind of divine genius. Compared with people from the past, all she had was a few thousand years' worth of shallow knowledge. She was nothing special.
Just then, the System timidly explained that she had died too often and its energy was running out. It could no longer support her being reborn.
So Zheng Shu gave up and started taking things easy. She used a smallpox scare as a cover and successfully went into hiding at an estate.
During her five years there, she used improved modern techniques to vigorously develop agriculture and various related businesses, quietly becoming the richest woman in the Great Qian Dynasty.
She thought she could spend the rest of her life in luxury, lying flat until old age.
But during a trip back to the capital to visit family, someone schemed to get her into bed with the top scholar of the imperial examinations.
Zheng Shu had a bad feeling that she was about to be done for again. Her instincts told her that the whirlwind at the heart of power had once more swept her up...
From the moment Jiang Yu met Zheng Shu, he had a feeling that some invisible hand was secretly dragging everyone along a predetermined path. He was young then, though, and the feeling was faint.
Later, the day after he learned of Zheng Shu's death, he returned to the time a month earlier. That feeling grew stronger and stronger...
So he decided to fight that hand and save her...
He never expected to see Zheng Shu again under these circumstances. His emotions were all over the place.
And yet...
"Zheng A Shu, stop!"
"You're in the way!" Zheng Shu tore his clothes to shreds. Red gauze fluttered softly, and candlelight flickered...
