A postdoctoral scholar of Song history from the modern era opens her eyes and finds herself transmigrated into the most perilous year of the Five Dynasties: the sixth year of Xiande under the Later Zhou.
Chai Rong is gravely ill, the young ruler’s position is uncertain, regional warlords hold sway, and battles rage without end.
The Chenqiao Mutiny and the bestowal of the Yellow Robe are already counting down.
Others who transmigrate into a time of chaos either cling to powerful patrons or pretend to be helpless.
Her?
She flips the table from the start.
No System, no miracles. She relies only on her complete knowledge of Song history and a strategic AI in her mind.
As a woman, she forces her way into the highest-stakes political game of the Five Dynasties.
At court, she berates powerful ministers until they cry in front of everyone.
In the military tent, she sees through the secret plot behind a mutiny with a single remark.
Amid the chaos, she brings order to the military, government, and people’s livelihoods.
Chai Rong sighs. “I haven’t long to live. The realm can be entrusted to this person!”
Zhao Kuangyin is astonished. “I can seize the realm, but this person has foreseen every move. I must never provoke her!”
She will not be a consort, a concubine, an adviser, or a puppet.
Whoever schemes, she ruins their plans.
Whoever throws the realm into chaos, she cuts off their path.
Whoever looks down on women, she leaves disgraced and ruined.
In this life, she makes history her game board and intelligence her blade.
She does not serve the emperor. She brings order to the realm.
