Modern PR expert Lin Shuyue opens her eyes to find herself in a fictional dynasty, inhabiting Shen Yunshu, the abused legitimate daughter of a Minister of the Board who is on the brink of death. Her birth mother was murdered, her stepmother is vicious, and her half-sister is ruthless. To make matters worse, she is framed and forced to enter the palace as a servant in someone else’s place.
She strikes back by igniting a public-opinion war. At a funeral, she “rises from the dead” to reclaim her identity; at a palace banquet, she sets a trap and turns the tables on her enemies; and by examining the accounts, she uncovers shocking corruption. From inner-family power struggles to court politics, she uses her PR skills to sway hearts and minds, navigating and balancing the interests of princes, powerful ministers, and enemy states.
They say women cannot hold office? She sets out to establish a system of female officials, reform grain transport and salt administration, and quell rebellions, eventually rising to the very summit of power.
And the deep affection of the Shadow Pavilion’s master and the future emperor becomes the most difficult game she has ever had to play…
“What I want has never been the empress’s throne, but a new chapter in history, written in elegant strokes, where women too can govern the realm.”
Pretty good. It seems like there was a pause in the middle. Don't give up You can also 💕 💕
