Transmigrating to Ancient Times: No Romance, Only Political Schemes

Lin Zhixia, a 26-year-old PhD in social psychology, suffers a sudden heart attack while working overtime at a consulting firm until the early hours of the morning. When she wakes, she has become the illegitimate daughter of the prime minister’s residence in the Great Liang Kingdom. Her predecessor was beaten to death by her stepmother for refusing to marry the dim-witted crown prince. Now it is her turn to face that fate.

Her stepmother sneers, "For an illegitimate daughter like you, marrying the crown prince is an honor."

Lin Zhixia raises her head, her gaze terrifyingly calm: the look of a psychologist who sees through everything.

She does not fight back or cry. She simply accepts her fate in silence. Because she knows that true retaliation never comes from words, but from the mind.

The Great Liang court is divided into factions, the empress dowager’s family wields unchecked power, the emperor is young, and the empress dowager rules from behind the curtain. In this world that devours people, only the weak depend on men. The strong rely on their brains.

The crown prince is dim-witted? No matter. She will use her knowledge of psychology to manipulate people and turn him into a pawn.

Her stepmother wants to harm her? No matter. She will use psychological tactics to make her lose her composure.

The court wants to swallow the crown prince’s household? No matter. She will use group dynamics to make the officials turn on one another, then reap the rewards.

Lin Zhixia’s goal is simple: survive, gain a foothold, and then change history.

No romance, only schemes for power. This is her sole principle after transmigrating.

A transmigrator? A System? A golden finger? She needs none of them. What she has is modern knowledge of psychology, a mind that can see through people, and an unyielding will.
