Life in Ancient Times: A Man in Disguise with a Famous Ministers System

Modern history ace Su Qing wakes up to find herself transmigrated to the Great Xia Dynasty, forced to take her frail older brother’s place and survive disguised as a man under the name “Su Qing.” In a desperate situation, she unexpectedly binds herself to the Famous Ministers System. Complete its missions, and she can summon the spirits of renowned historical officials such as Di Renjie, Bao Zheng, and Zhuge Liang to aid her.

To make a place for herself in an era where men ruled and women were considered inferior, Su Qing relies on the System and her own strategic mind to overcome one challenge after another, passing the imperial examinations and entering government service. New to officialdom, she draws on the wisdom of famous ministers to solve difficult problems, but her brilliance also arouses the suspicions of Xiao Jingyan, the regent who holds power over the entire court. She contends with rival factions at court and narrowly avoids having her identity exposed time and again. When unrest breaks out along the border, she is dispatched to war and makes a name for herself on the battlefield.

As they spend time together, Xiao Jingyan’s suspicion of “him” gradually gives way to admiration, and their relationship grows increasingly complicated. When the ultimate mission arrives and the dynasty’s fate hangs in the balance, Su Qing’s identity as a woman is also in danger of being exposed. Should she continue to hide who she is, or reveal her true self and rewrite the rules of the Great Xia Dynasty? A contest involving duty, love, and the fate of the nation is about to begin.
