In the winter of the thirty-seventh year of Yong'an, Shen Qingci, the female chancellor of the Great Jing dynasty, was betrayed by her closest friend and drank poison in the Zichen Hall. The nation's jade seal in her possession burst with ancient power, sweeping her soul into a vortex through time and space.
When she opened her eyes again, she had become a sophomore with the same name in the modern world. Her mother was bedridden with a serious illness, she was 300,000 yuan in debt, and she had suffered long-term bullying at school. The original owner had already died in despair.

Armed with a thousand years of political wisdom, she navigates the modern workplace, business wars, and cultural circles, all while protecting
