Shen Qinghe transmigrates.
Most people transmigrate into princesses or noble consorts. She, on the other hand, finds herself kneeling in a mourning hall, the newly widowed heir’s wife in Prince Duan’s household.
Before transmigrating, she was an overworked accountant at a Fortune 500 company, stuck in a 996 work schedule. Now she’s a wealthy widow in a prince’s household, doted on by her in-laws, with no husband to serve.
Life couldn’t get any better!
Just as she’s preparing to lie flat and enjoy retirement, trouble arrives: the household’s account books are a complete mess! The matrons and stewards all take her for a fool, and the ledgers are full of holes.
As a certified public accountant, how could she put up with that?
Three-column ledgers, budget management, centralized purchasing: she brings modern accounting practices to the Great Zhou dynasty.
Her audits throw the entire household into chaos. When she uncovers a whole nest of parasites, she realizes there’s more to this than meets the eye.
Even worse, her adopted elder brother-in-law, the cold-faced general Pei Changyuan, is looking at her in an increasingly strange way...
Pei Changyuan: “Younger sister-in-law, did you say you’d arrange a concubine for me?”
Shen Qinghe: “N-no, Mother wanted me to help find someone for you!”
Pei Changyuan: “And Mother also told you to sneak up to my window in the middle of the night?”
Shen Qinghe: “...I can explain.”
