Leng Qingjue

When Nangong Xue, the eldest legitimate daughter of the century-old Nan clan of Bashu, goes on an outing, the northern nomadic Beirong people invade from the south. Most of her guards are killed, and she is captured, to be offered to the Great Chanyu. Then civil unrest breaks out among the Beirong. With several maids risking their lives to protect her, Nangong Xue escapes the Beirong royal court amid the chaos and reaches Chishui City on the northern frontier of the Great Zhou. As soon as they arrive, human traffickers drug them all. Because of her beauty, Nangong Xue is sold as a maid into Prince Qian's residence. There, the heir is murdered after falling victim to a villain's plot, and Nangong Xue, the only maid at the crime scene, becomes the chief suspect in the eyes of Prince Qian Leng Hanxiao. After being brutally tortured, just as Nangong Xue is on the verge of death, a modern, domineering female CEO named Nangong Xue transmigrates into her body, taking over the heroine's struggle to prove her innocence. Determined to catch the real culprit as soon as possible, Nangong Xue brings the cold pragmatism and decisiveness of the modern era to bear. She makes distant allies and attacks nearby enemies, joining forces with the First Madam to take on the Second Madam. In the end, she pieces together clues and discovers that the Second Madam was commissioned by the imperial family to murder the heir and seize military power. Leng Hanxiao begins to see Nangong Xue in a new light, and as they spend more time together, he gradually falls for the decisive CEO. With Nangong Xue's help, he ultimately withstands the Great Zhou imperial family's relentless schemes. Backed by the full support of the Nan clan of Bashu, he trains the troops, develops the economy, protects the people, and reforms customs. He drives the Beirong back eight hundred miles to the north, pacifies the thirty-two kingdoms of Nanzhao in the south, destroys the Japanese in the east, and opens trade routes to the west, extending commerce all the way to the Mediterranean. At last, he leads the common people in rising up to overthrow the tyranny of the Zhou dynasty and establish the Great Qian Empire.
