Nangong Li, the legitimate daughter of General Da Yao, has a very clear life plan: pretend to be good, behave badly, eat and wait until death, and strive to never have to work for the rest of her life.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. The father and brother who were guarding the border accidentally broke into a dirty deal between the DPRK and China, and were framed by others together. They ended up being killed unjustly in battle, and the Nangong family collapsed overnight.
In order to clear the name of her father and brother, she was forced to start a business, put on men's clothing and took the pseudonym Gong Yan, and passed the imperial examination all the way to the capital. She became an undercover official in the Ministry of War, who superficially fished but actually pursued a career.
In front of him, he is diligent, well-behaved and obedient, and he is a harmless little transparency in the court; in front of him, he digs up old files, investigates confidential information, opens a trading house, collects information, contacts the old frontier army, and pursues revenge and national salvation in parallel.
The court was in trouble, and she tried her best to find ways to do it: she became a brother-in-law with the prince, mixed up with others, and tested and pushed each other to the extreme with the seventh prince Xiao Jinyu.
As the investigation deepened, she discovered that the death of her father and brother was just the tip of the iceberg. The dictatorial power of the party, the separatist rule of the feudal lords, collusion with foreign enemies, and corruption in the military had already eroded the Yao Dynasty.
Originally I just wanted to reverse the case for my family, but I accidentally shouldered the KPI of saving the country...
