Modern business queen Jiang Li transmigrates and becomes the most lowly-born daughter in an ancient marquis's household.
Household intrigue? Boring. Palace intrigue? Too low-level.
She opens banks, publishes newspapers, and builds railways, using modern business tactics to hollow out imperial power.
The emperor wants to take her as a consort, but she turns around and establishes a cabinet system: "Your Majesty, it's time to retire and collect your pension."
Those who once bullied her now kneel and beg to work with her.
Until she discovers that the impoverished scholar who has always supported her is actually the last surviving descendant of the previous dynasty...
