I Enter the Palace and Take Charge of the Seal: The Chief Eunuch's Cousin Plays by No Rules

While others enter the palace with silks and satin, Jiang Zhaowei brings a black abacus. The daughter of a convicted minister, she is harassed by the empress and bullied by the Palace Bureau, until she is sent to the “Hall of the Dead,” a place everyone fears. Everyone is waiting to see her meet a terrible end. But no one knows that this newcomer, a Jieyu consort, was once a top auditor who never missed a thing! Three hundred taels for repairs, yet all she gets is five taels’ worth of rotten wood? Jiang Zhaowei slams down her abacus. “A three-hundred-tael account, with a shortfall of two hundred and ninety-five taels. I’ll settle this bill with you myself!” They withhold her charcoal? Serve her cold food? She marches over with her abacus, tramples the wicked servants, and tears apart the falsified books! She turns the harem upside down, sets undercurrents stirring at court, and even earns the backing of her adopted brother, the powerful Director of the Eastern Depot. She thought she could fight her way through the harem and uncover the truth behind her father’s wrongful case, but she never expected to provoke the one man she must not offend. The supreme ruler pins her against the dragon throne, his eyes deep and unreadable. “Since you’re so good at calculating, my beloved, why don’t you work out when both this empire and I will belong to you?”
