Wang Hua is reborn at the end of a dynasty. In her previous life, she was betrayed by someone she trusted and died with her name cleared, forced to watch as the dynasty fell. Though she has little power in this new life, she possesses extraordinary skills, including a formula for improving papermaking. At court, corrupt officials, driven by self-interest, slander and obstruct her at every turn, trying to sabotage her plans to reform the country and save it. Beyond the frontier, Jurchen cavalry threaten the realm, and the dynasty teeters on the brink of collapse. With internal strife and foreign threats closing in, and time running out, Wang Hua draws on her memories and wisdom from her previous life to dispel the misunderstandings surrounding her, painstakingly put her skills into practice, and train elite troops. She is determined to turn the tide before the dynasty falls, take revenge on those who wronged her in her previous life, and save the crumbling realm.
