[Sober heroine ++ No CP + Machiavellian]
"A man is like a ladder. When you step on it, you have to figure out how to get down."
Her father was conscripted and her family was devastated. She learned the first lesson in life: people's hearts are unpredictable, but they can be calculated.
From the shabby thatched cottages in Dunhuang to the center of power in Chang'an;
From the despised accountant to the "Mr. Changfeng" who is feared by kings.
She took advantage of the powerful, made friends with powerful people, organized the world, and played a bad hand to make things prosperous.
Everyone said she was ruthless and would throw away men after using them;
Only Du Yan, who was "used" by her, said softly when she became famous:
"You are the smartest woman I have ever met and the nicest person I have ever met."
One-sentence summary: Watch how a peasant girl uses all the men in the world as a ladder, calculating step by step to become the world's best chess player!
