Synopsis

Reader's Guide: Two strong leads, court intrigue, a satisfying power fantasy, the heroine's career at the center, sweet romance, and no angst throughout.

Su Zijin transmigrates to the Great Qian dynasty and becomes the top candidate in this year's imperial exams, disguised as a man.

She invents new things, takes on the powerful nobility, fights corruption, and improves people's lives.

At first, she thinks he is a lofty, heartless emperor, while he thinks she is a subject in his hands, with whom he can rule the realm.

Later, she has to go to work during the day and deal with the emperor's marriage proposals at night.

Su Zijin says, "I only want to invent things, not get involved with you."

He laughs maniacally. "My dear subject once said that everything you have belongs to me. Are you trying to deceive your sovereign, my darling?"

She is the female chancellor who dazzles the court, The Outcast, and also the phoenix sovereign whose heart the ruler cannot control, above even the emperor.

This book is also known as I Really Only Want to Focus on My Career, The Emperor: My Darling, You Deceived Me So Well, Female Chancellor by Day, Empress by Night, and Even Ancient Times' Corporate Slaves Have It So Hard.

Looking for stories where the female lead transmigrates from the modern era to ancient times and becomes the wicked stepmother to three to five children, then turns over a new leaf. The male lead eventually comes to her door and falls in love with her. Preferably completed. No palace intrigue, just an ordinary farming story is fine.
