Shen Yanqing, a doctor of archeology, was revealed to be the sick and frail legitimate daughter of the Yongchang Hou Mansion. She was forced by her stepmother to marry a sixty-year-old man at the beginning of the story.
She tied the jade pendant to a plum branch with her backhand, and married Xiao Xingzhi, Prince Jing, who was rumored to be violent and murderous, possessing power over the entire court.
The whole capital was waiting for her to be tortured to death, but she used a book called "Tiangong Kaiwu" to improve weapons, used psychology to play with the court, and used economics to become rich.
People who once laughed at her looked at her helplessly:
A secret letter overturned the corruption network in the south of the Yangtze River, three blueprints stabilized the northern border defense, and five negotiations restored ten years of peace for Dayong.
Even the emperor sighed: "If I get this girl, I can win a hundred thousand soldiers."
But that evil prince only pressed her behind the study door late at night, his voice hoarse:
"Which young master did Madam meet today? Huh?"
She smiled and poked his heart: "Didn't the prince say that we just contracted to cooperate and each get what we need?"
He hugged her tighter and gritted his teeth: "The contract has been changed. In this life, you can only take what you need from me."
