The Fallen Genius Consort Who Haunted the Court

She is a vital asset to the nation, and also the “dead” wife in a coffin.

Shu Jing, the most brilliant military engineering prodigy of the twenty-first century, wakes up after an accidental explosion test inside the coffin of the prime minister’s legitimate daughter. Her bridal finery has been replaced with burial clothes, and she is to be wed to a dead man, all because the crown prince said, “I won’t marry a corpse!” Faced with her family’s doomed fate as cannon fodder, Shu Jing immediately binds herself to the “Super Military Engineering System,” determined to carve out a way for her loved ones to survive in this fictional world on the brink of collapse.

She had planned to keep a low profile, farm, and quietly change the world with her knowledge. But then a precisely planned assassination attempt against the crown prince at Baima Temple forces her to reveal her abilities. Even more absurdly, the emperor, who is obsessed with alchemy, can hear her thoughts! From then on, the court takes a very different turn:

[Exam fraud? Your Majesty, the chief examiner has a cheat sheet hidden up his sleeve!]

[The crown prince has been cursed? This is a witch’s poison from the southern border. You’ll need a lodestone to counter it!]

[Prince Rong is plotting rebellion? The secret passage in his residence leads straight to the imperial study!]

With the knowledge in her head and rewards from the System, Shu Jing resolves one crisis after another, rising step by step from the “dead woman” in a coffin to the most dazzling figure in the dynasty. When foreign invaders strike and internal enemies close in, she stands atop the city walls, unfurling military engineering blueprints from another era. Smiling sweetly, she asks, “Your Highness, would you like to see what it means to crush the enemy with technology from a higher dimension?”
