Synopsis:
[One-on-one romance | Both leads are devoted to each other | Irreverent palace intrigue with a powerful duo]
[Modern weapons mastermind × hard-core emperor bent on restoring his kingdom]
Shen Zhiwei has barely entered the palace when she offends the Noble Consort and is punished by being sent to the cold palace to scrub every toilet in the palace!
The original owner might put up with it, but she won't.
She whips up a bundle of explosives in no time, then smirks toward the Imperial Study:
“You want me to scrub toilets? I'll blow up the whole palace!”
She's crazy, but she manages to bring out someone even crazier:
The emperor clutches the cannon blueprints she drew, his eyes shining. “Build it, and I'll protect you until death.”
From then on, the harem becomes her personal ATM.
The Noble Consort tries to trip her up? Shen Zhiwei pats her heart. “Your Majesty, the Noble Consort frightened me. Punish her with a hundred thousand taels of gold.”
The Empress Dowager wants to spend tens of millions of taels of the nation's wealth? Shen Zhiwei volunteers: “I can make a birthday firework display. It'll just be a little expensive.”
At the birthday banquet, the Empress Dowager faints with rage. “This is what a hundred thousand taels of fireworks gets you?”
Palace intrigue? That's just a side gig.
Her real battlefield is the military workshop: making explosives, improving firearms, and helping the emperor conquer the four corners of the realm.
The emperor's battlefield is the court: backing her ambitions, taking on the ministers, and earning her the reputation of a wicked consort who brings ruin to the nation.
The concubines wail, “Your Majesty is playing favorites!”
The emperor raises the firearm she just built. “She can help the army win. Can you?”
Shen Zhiwei wipes down her gun. “Your Majesty, don't distract me from testing my new weapon. These people are giving me a headache.”
The emperor immediately clears the room. “Out, all of you! You're disturbing my master at work!”
She meant to be the emperor's partner in government, but one night, while they are testing a cannon, the emperor suddenly pins down her hand.
“We've tested the weapon. How about testing me?”
Shen Zhiwei: ...?
Wasn't this supposed to be a hard-core career story?
I cried to death in the finale. I was so infatuated. The male protagonist is so good. He only lives for one person. The side story is really sweet. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I really like this extra story. It's like the memories of two people, and it has a plot that's not in the article.
I like the pull between smart people. The setting of this book is very suitable to my liking. I must keep reading [Blow kiss]
It's pretty good so far and I have the desire to continue reading. Five stars for encouragement.
