I died suddenly after staying up all night writing my thesis, and transmigrated into the hapless legitimate daughter of a marquis's household.
My stepmother seems loving, but is really trying to spoil me rotten. My stepsister acts too frail to care for herself, but is actually a master of fake sweetness.
My father never bothers to learn the facts and punished me by making me kneel in the ancestral hall for three days and nights.
Shen Qinghuan smiled. “Family intrigue? Not interested.”
Infrastructure development is the right way for a transmigrator to get ahead.
The Empress Dowager is worried about renovating a temple? I offer her an improved mortise-and-tenon design that saves thirty percent of the timber.
The capital floods every rainy season? I design a drainage System and put an end to a century of flooding.
The northern frontier is in urgent need of help? I reinforce the city walls and improve the catapults, driving back the enemy in a single battle.
Later, the cold-faced god of war cornered me against a wall:
“My Star-Gazing Tower collapsed. You're going to fix it.”
“Once you've fixed the tower, you can fix my heart too.”
From the legitimate daughter of a marquis to Grand Minister of Works, from a sheltered young woman to the greatest craftswoman in the land.
With a single set of blueprints, I rewrote the history of an entire dynasty.
