[From the Start] [Political Schemes] [Cannon Fodder] [Rise to Power] [Strong Female Lead]
In the capital of Great Sheng, a hundred thousand people gaze up at the sky in utter silence.
On the sky screen, modern office worker Shen Zhixia pours a ladle of cold water into an iron pot. It boils instantly.
Xiao Mingzhao, a disgraced minister’s daughter and cannon fodder waiting to die in the palace, uses modern knowledge from the sky screen to wash the blood from her hands.
Double-entry bookkeeping exposes corrupt officials. Quarantine and disease prevention save the people. Crop rotation and composting solve the food shortage.
Stepping over the bones of political conspiracies, Xiao Mingzhao makes her way toward the imperial throne.
But every time she changes the nation’s fate, one more trace of Shen Zhixia’s existence in the modern world disappears.
Until no one in the world remembers her.
In the Golden Hall, the empress lifts her eyes, her voice calm and unchanging: “If the Empress Dowager can’t bear to part with the empire, she can come and take it herself. I want this empire to remember her name.”
