Top actuary Shen Guiwan dressed as a laundry washer with a criminal record in the Tang Dynasty. In her eyes, there is no romance in Chang'an, only flowing numbers and risk leverage.
With super-computer computing and financial thinking, she started from a piece of waste paper in the West Market and used modern means such as asset securitization, exchange rate hedging, and credit systems to build an invisible financial empire in Datang. She fought against barbarian merchants, flattened grain prices, issued national bonds, and opened sea routes. Not only was she extremely wealthy, but she also became a behind-the-scenes banker who controlled the rise and fall of the country. What she wants is not to cling to imperial power, but to formulate rules so that every penny of Datang's money will be engraved with Shen's brand.
Pei Xingjian, the cold and aloof young minister of Dali Temple, was originally a pawn in her abacus, but in the life and death games, he was willing to shed his pride and become the sharpest blade in her hand. When the prosperous age faced collapse, Shen Guiwan single-handedly made himself a prince and prime minister, writing a legend that "counted all the hearts of the country, but left only one person with deep love for a lifetime".
