Multiple secret identities + woman disguised as a man + strong heroine + supernatural abilities + political intrigue
A legendary human weapon falls in battle. When she opens her eyes again, she hears: "Your Highness, go marry into the enemy state and avenge Southern Chu!"
Looking at her four elderly, decrepit fiancés, Zhao Wan wants only to run.
She's a soul from another world. Why should she care about avenging a nation or settling old scores?
But when a hundred loyal retainers are slaughtered in an instant, Zhao Wan is forced to inherit a small nation beset by natural disasters. Fine, then. She'll fight for this realm!
She takes her team of strategists and infiltrates the enemy state!
From impoverished scholar to young chancellor, she becomes the terrifying "Zhao the Skinflint."
Talented people and master craftsmen? Snatch them!
Mountains of gold and silver mines? Take them!
Ingenious weapons and sharp blades? Take them!
Zhao Wan: Bring it all here! Ship everything back to the eastern suburbs for construction!
Wherever Zhao the Skinflint goes, she leaves the land stripped bare.
Zhao Wan: I earned this through all my hard work in the enemy state!
One day, the ruler finally discovers that the chancellor he trusts most is not only his dreaded nemesis, but… a woman?
Zhao Wan looks over the enemy court she has spent years purging and feels thoroughly satisfied.
On the day of their confrontation, Zhao Wan appears in red bridal robes and points her sword at the ruler. "From the very beginning, we were destined to be mortal enemies. Today, this isn't about whether we're men or women. It's about life and death!"
Imperial Tutor Yun never married. At forty-eight, he was entrusted with a dying ruler's final wishes and asked to raise his heir.
But before the ruler breathed his last, for the sake of that far-fetched plan to restore the nation, he assigned four ministers, including Yun himself, as fiancés to the baby girl!!!
Imperial Tutor Yun was speechless.
After thirteen years spent hiding here and there, they were all old or infirm.
They couldn't restore the nation, not even for a single day!
And yet his sworn enemy, Chancellor Wang, was as stubborn as a rock and actually suggested sending their young mistress off to marry into another state?
Imperial Tutor Yun was exhausted…
