Jin Ma Si Jin Lu

Su Zhao, the daughter of a former clerk in the Ministry of Revenue, who came from a humble background, relied on her talent in accounting and her proficient calculation skills to start out as the lowest clerk in the Ministry of Revenue. She gradually broke through in a series of tough workplace battles such as checking deficits, rectifying salt taxes, and stabilizing food prices. Faced with many difficulties such as pressure from her superiors, frame-ups by her colleagues, and local corruption, she solved the situation with the wisdom of "exhausting strategies". She also gradually developed into a confidant in discussing the national affairs with Pei Yan, the second minister of the cabinet who is cold on the surface but harbors world-wide ambitions in reality. The two not only jointly promoted the tax reform in the court, but also reconciled the old family grievances and differences in positions in private. In the end, with their pure love that "calculates people and matters but not their hearts", they achieved an official relationship of "one plan determines the world, one heart promises a long life". The strong points of enjoyment focus on the female protagonist using her professional skills to beat the villain in the face, the exciting process of promotion in the workplace, and the emotional pull that is evenly matched with the male protagonist.
