[Clear penetration + heroine strategy + Cao family intelligence network + two-way career + non-love brain]
Sheng Baozhu never believed in blind marriage, let alone royal love.
Relying on the wealth of her maternal grandfather, Jiangning Cao, and his world-wide contacts, she secretly supported the forces and only wanted to seek stability for the Sheng family in troubled times.
With an edict, she became the side secretary of Sibeile Mansion. On their wedding night, she did not fight for favor or flattery. She only handed Yinzhen an account book filled with secrets of officials from various factions in the capital.
"I have no intention of competing for my favor. I only want to be the sharpest sword in my hand."
Yinzhen was suspicious by nature, and he was originally wary of Xiang Fujin, who was born in the Han Army Banner, but he was amazed by her resourcefulness time and time again.
Above the court, she is the "strategist behind the scenes" who advises him and takes care of every step; in the backyard, she is dignified and self-possessed, frightening the young Fu Jin.
In this near-death battle for inheritance, they are the only allies and the only salvation.
