[Disguised as a man + power-struggle wish fulfillment + mind-reading audit eyes + extreme contrast + love-triangle chaos]
Modern senior auditor Jiang Ning transmigrates into a book, and from the start, she’s facing a countdown to her entire family’s execution!
Her father is the Great Yong dynasty’s most corrupt official. He has embezzled two hundred million taels of silver and drained the imperial treasury dry.
Her legitimate elder sister wants to offer her up to the Eastern Palace to prove her loyalty. Her lovesick, possessive elder brother treats her like his own private captive, and the emperor is sharpening his blade, ready to slaughter a pig.
Jiang Ning gives a cold laugh. “You want to kill me? Then I’ll strike first and purge this court of every corrupt official!”
She promptly cuts off her long hair, disguises herself as a man, and wreaks havoc in court with her “financial X-ray vision,” which lets her see where stolen money goes.
Other people investigate cases through deduction. Jiang Ning investigates with visual augmented reality.
“Minister, you say you haven’t embezzled anything? The million taels in gold bars stuffed into your wall are waving at me.”
“Marquis, you say you’re squeaky clean? The secret passage from your study to the imperial treasury is still glowing!”
With a ledger in her left hand and a broadsword in her right, Jiang Ning fights her way from a low-ranking official to become a female grand secretary.
The entire court kneels and begs for mercy. “Lord Jiang, please put away your powers! You’ve cleaned out the whole government!”
The cold-hearted emperor pins her against the imperial desk. “My dear subject, now that the treasury is empty, how about using yourself to settle the debt?”
Her unhinged elder brother’s eyes turn red. “A Ning, instead of looking at them, why not let me lock you up in Tingzhu Pavilion?”
The aloof rebel leader says, “My lady, this, this… I’ll seize the kingdom and give it to you. Just please don’t raid my home, all right?”
It's a very novel subject, and I highly recommend it, but I'm really convinced by her senior brother, he's just a drag, and I'm so annoyed with him. Every time he's about to be exposed, I'm anxious, rebel, rebel quickly, this emperor is using a country to retaliate because a woman condoned an official's corruption to such an extent, what kind of good emperor can he be, I'm anxious, why haven't he rebelled yet, but the subject of accounting and auditing is quite powerful and very interesting to watch. But that person who did the facial contouring spent twenty years forging documents, but didn't spend twenty years collecting materials to make facial contouring powder? Only when I get the imperial examination is it getting closer and closer will I be given a small bottle. I haven't found a well-dressed person in twenty years, and the application of powder is just a thing of the past.
