I, the Bookkeeper, Just Want to Do the Math

I, Shen Mo, am a senior auditor at a modern accounting firm.

I worked myself to death and transmigrated into the Northern Song dynasty, becoming the bookkeeper at Sun's Silk Shop in Kaifeng Prefecture.

My wish is simple: balance the books, drink tea, and coast until retirement.

That is, until I discovered...

Someone had tampered with the shopkeeper's ledgers.

The Qian family across the street sent people to spy on us every day.

A magistrate from the prefectural office showed up at my door with a ledger and said, "Help me."

I picked up my abacus and sighed.

I just wanted to do some honest bookkeeping.

You people had to force me to start counting bodies.

Ledgers don't lie.

It's always the people keeping the books who do.
