When Xie Wuzheng opens her eyes, she is lying in a coffin.
She is the orphan of the Duke of Zhenguo, but her own relatives offered her as a sacrifice, nearly killing her on the altar of the Xuanming Cult.
After faking her death to escape, she disguises herself as a man, takes the name Xie Wuzheng, and steps into the cannibalistic court.
They think she is nothing but a lamb waiting for slaughter, unaware that she has already laid a perfect trap.
The imperial examinations, grain transport, salt administration, border troops...
Every move she makes is digging a grave for the old order.
The emperor is her “scabbard,” and the great clans are her whetstone.
She kills using nothing but “the rules,” making them watch as she overturns their world with her own hands...
But after the case involving her mother's dowry, she realizes that every step she takes is part of a game of chess...
And this is only the beginning...
[Disguised as a man + masterful political scheming + no romance + careful strategy at every step + overwhelming intelligence + alliance with the emperor]
