Golden Sparrow in the Spring Deep

Shen Yunshao died in a sixty-billion-yuan merger scam. When she opened her eyes again, she had become the legitimate daughter of the prime minister's household, poisoned by her stepmother and forced into marriage.

Her new husband, Shen Ye Han, feigned illness to conceal his strength. Third Prince Xiao Jingyan tested her at a birthday banquet, while the covert guard Lu Zhan watched from the shadows. All the capital's nobles thought she was merely a new bride at everyone's mercy.

Only Shen Yunshao knew that ledgers never lied, and people always left traces behind.

She investigated the dowry, cleared out old storehouses, organized trade routes, and unraveled palace schemes, following the trail from the inner quarters of the Shen household all the way to the throne. The day the old accounts were opened, those who had wronged her finally understood: the sharpest blade in the world is not in its sheath, but in the ledger in her hands.
