Lin Wan, a 28-year-old female executive, dies suddenly at her desk.
When she opens her eyes, she has become Shen Qingci, the most miserable illegitimate son in the Duke of Zhenguo’s household.
Her legitimate mother wants her dead, her legitimate brother pushes her into the water, and her own father treats her like she doesn’t exist.
Even more absurdly, she has gone from being a woman to being a man.
The good news: she has a PhD in psychology, is a strategic expert, and is a master negotiator.
The bad news: first she has to learn how to pee standing up.
Clan school exams? She brings out game theory and drives her legitimate brother to a breakdown.
Court reforms? She introduces KPI performance reviews, making every official kneel and call her boss.
War on the frontier? She wages psychological warfare and pulls off an empty-fort strategy, sending the enemy army into a complete rout.
Everyone thinks she’s a once-in-a-century genius.
Only she knows the truth: this isn’t political maneuvering. It’s a whole different level of power.
“I’m neither a man nor a woman. I’m a god you can’t afford to provoke.”
Is there a female protagonist?
