Power and Favor Across the Realm: The Rebellious Heiress Strikes Back

Chen Jingna, a genius in archaeology, accidentally transmigrates as the daughter of a convicted official in Great Yan. From the start, she’s thrown into a deserted courtyard and left to die! Her original self was frail and sickly, her family was dirt poor, and her stepmother schemed against her. It’s the perfect cannon-fodder setup! But who could have guessed this “sickly girl” was a leading archaeologist from the 21st century? When she wakes, she finds she has mastered the long-lost “Slender Gold Script.” Her strokes are sharp as blades, and one poem, “Calming the Waves,” stuns the city’s powerful elite.

Even more incredible, a piece of calligraphy she writes on a whim can earn her ten thousand taels of gold. She establishes schools for the poor and builds waterworks, turning her humble status into an asset everyone wants. But her peaceful days don’t last long before she catches the attention of the legendary cold-faced Prince Jing, the King of the Underworld! He gives her secret imperial ink and rare, priceless manuscripts, then asks her to investigate corrupt officials, fight powerful ministers, and even... become his adviser!

On one side are court intrigues fraught with danger; on the other, tangled romances and rivalries. Watch as this fallen legitimate daughter wields her brush like a blade, stirs up the realm, and rises from a lowly servant in the Cold Palace to become a queen who rules as regent!
