An accident sends Situ Wan into a time-space vortex, where she is bound to the "Imperial Consort Life Experience" System. The heroine is determined to make it on her own, without relying on a golden finger. With nothing but her extensive knowledge of history, she writes her own legends across different dynasties.
In the Xia Dynasty, she becomes Yu the Great's wife, using her wisdom to help him control the floods and lay a firm foundation for Chinese civilization.
Transmigrating to the Shang Dynasty, she becomes King Wuding's queen and navigates political intrigue, contributing to the "Wuding Restoration."
During the Western Zhou, as King Wu of Zhou's queen, she helps plan the campaign to overthrow the Shang and witnesses the rise and fall of dynasties.
In the chaotic Spring and Autumn period, as Duke Xian of Jin's wife, she protects the peace of Jin amid the shifting currents of court politics.
In the Warring States era, she becomes one of King Huiwen of Qin's concubines. After enduring countless trials, she ultimately rises to become Queen Dowager Xuan and takes the reins of power in Qin.
Every journey through time is a chance to take a deeper part in history. While respecting the past, she makes clever plans, completes the System's missions, and quietly changes the course of certain events. See how a brilliant heroine shines in the role of an imperial consort in a male-dominated age and builds a remarkable career of her own.
The book has a novel setting and uses the "concubine's life experience" system to connect stories from multiple dynasties, but it breaks away from the cliché of Goldfinger dependence. The heroine Situ Wan relied on her solid historical knowledge to write legends in different dynasties: assisting Dayu to control floods, assisting Wu Ding to revive Zhongxing, plotting against King Wu to defeat Zhou, safeguarding the peace of Jin, and finally becoming the Queen Mother Xuan who took charge of the power of Qin. The plot closely follows the historical nodes, not only showing the wisdom of machinations, but also highlighting the power of women's self-improvement, allowing readers to feel the weight of history and the light of individuals while traveling through time and space. I recommend it.
I like the theme quite a bit
