Deconstructing the Dynasty

Shen Zhirou, a PhD in Chinese classics, transmigrates into the body of a legitimate daughter of a marquis’s household who is bullied by everyone. Using modern scholarship to dismantle the feudal order, she refuses to get caught up in household infighting. Instead, she starts giving lectures on “women’s economics,” shorts her enemies’ businesses using the Han Feizi, and applies the Book of Changes to predict market trends. In the end, she becomes not only the female emperor’s minister of finance, but also the founder of a “new tradition” for women, built on modern ideas.
