Transmigrated into a Book, I Raised an Ordinary Boy into a Usurping Minister

【Neither the male nor female lead is a good person. A gradual-growth story. Their daily journey of growing up. The male lead becomes possessive later on.】 Chu Jing is forced into a book she once mocked. To escape the book and return to reality, she has to complete a task assigned by the person behind it. She thinks the task is ridiculous and pays it no mind. One day, more than ten years after she transmigrates into a book, she finds an ordinary young man in a muddy ditch and realizes she has a task after all. Since she can’t escape this world anyway, she decides she might as well give it a try. What if she succeeds? So she sets out to raise the boy into a powerful minister, someone with influence who remains loyal to the country. Only then will her task be complete. For nearly ten years, she and the boy weather storms together and depend on each other. She treats his leg injury, provides his food and clothing, and pays for his education. He, Shen Yiling, lives up to her hopes and passes the imperial examinations as top scholar. But once he gains power, everything begins to change, quietly veering away from what she had imagined. He uses every means at his disposal to climb higher, unwilling to remain a low-ranking official. At last, he becomes the powerful Grand Marshal, beyond her control. He gains authority and influence, but instead of being a loyal minister to the emperor, he becomes a rebel. As for Chu Jing, now the Empress Dowager, whatever her status, he is determined to make her his.
