An epic creation saga about survival, political intrigue, nation-building, and self-fulfillment.
Jiang Ying, a modern-day office worker, transmigrates by accident and becomes a fake eunuch in the Great Xia Dynasty, a woman disguised as a man who is about to be killed to silence her. Through a twist of fate, Regent Xiao Du, whose power dominates the court, places her on the throne as a puppet emperor. Trapped between a wolf in front of her, the regent, and a tiger behind her, the empress dowager, Jiang Ying dances on the edge of a blade, relying on knowledge beyond her time and an iron will to survive. Using the mask of a “foolish ruler,” she secretly builds her strength, develops water conservancy, reforms industry and commerce, and forges a new army. Step by step, she goes from being a pawn to the player moving the pieces, eventually revealing the earth-shattering secret of her identity as a woman. She rules the world as a woman and ushers in an unprecedented golden age.
