In her previous life, Shen Qingci, a concubine-born daughter of a marquis's household, was gentle and virtuous. She helped the overlooked prince Gu Yanzhi ascend the throne, only to be branded a “demon consort who brought ruin to the nation” and poisoned to death. Reborn at the imperial consort selection, she stops pretending to be kind and binds herself to a modern history livestream, teaching the people of the past about gender equality, turning the tables at work, and management and marketing. Her legitimate elder sister frames her? She broadcasts a public “guide to fighting back against bullies” and answers every accusation with a face-slapping rebuttal. The emperor wants to force her into marriage? She volunteers to manage the imperial household's businesses, shaking up the capital with membership plans and flash sales. She uses big data to support her political maneuvering and psychology to break through the harem's schemes. Gu Yanzhi wants her to be empress? Shen Qingci sneers: “The empress is just an accessory. I want to be regent.” When modern knowledge overwhelms ancient political intrigue, and a wicked woman is reborn to live for herself, this battle of wits between evenly matched opponents has only just begun.
