Investment bank analyst Su Tanyue died suddenly while working overtime. When he woke up, he found himself lying next to a male corpse.
The deceased was Lin Xiuwen, the head of the household department, and she traveled through time and became an inconspicuous female official in the Jokhang Dynasty. Before she could figure out the situation, the cold-faced regent Lu Heng cornered her: "Lin Xiuwen is dead. From now on, you are him. Pretend for three months, fill in the false accounts of the household department, and I will give you freedom. Otherwise -" He glanced at the body, "This is your fate."
Su Tanyue had no choice. But she was stunned when she opened the fake accounts - circular accounting and capitalization of expenses, these modern financial fraud techniques were exactly the same as the financial crisis in the late Ming Dynasty she studied.
She traveled back in time into the history she was studying.
What shocked her even more was that the last page of Lin Xiuwen's notes read: "If you can understand this account, you are also from that place. Be careful, I'm not the only one here."
A deficit of three million taels pointed to the emperor's private soldiers; seven money laundering firms led to a shocking conspiracy. Su Tan used modern knowledge to reduce dimensions in the court, but found that every step he took was one step closer to death.
What she didn't know was that the cold-faced powerful official who threatened her came from the same place as her. He has been waiting for a similar person for three years.
