From the start, it was hell mode. I, Shen Zhiwei, went from a modern-day office drone to a lowly maid whose life was worth less than paper, abused at every turn.
No fear! I can hear people's thoughts!
In this grand manor, where everyone has eight hundred tricks up their sleeve, everyone is an actor, putting on one face while thinking another. Too bad for them, my golden finger lets me watch it all live!
With this incredible gift, I easily handle all manner of monsters and demons, trample the fake lilies and green tea schemers, and rise all the way to the emperor's ear!
I only wanted to find a secure job in the palace, but accidentally picked up the biggest benefactor in the realm: the young emperor, decisive and feared by all.
From then on, he reformed the bureaucracy at court while I listened to all the palace gossip.
[That old geezer actually wants to embezzle military funds?] “Zhiwei, give the Minister of War a heads-up. It's time to audit the books.”
[There's another drought in the west?] “Zhiwei, bring me the reservoir construction plan you mentioned last time.”
I thought that was the peak, but I never expected to discover another “fellow transmigrator”!
Well, would you look at that! I thought this was a palace intrigue drama, but it's actually a story about reforming society and saving the world?
Then what are we waiting for? The transmigrators' alliance is hereby established!
I'll make the plans, he'll build the industries, and the emperor will have our backs. Together, we'll launch an ancient version of the “Industrial Revolution”!
But as our plans progressed, we gradually discovered that this transmigration might not have been an accident... A vast conspiracy enveloping the entire dynasty was quietly coming to light.
