Professor of modern pharmacology Gu Qiyun dies in a medical accident. When she opens her eyes again, she has transmigrated into the Great Yan Dynasty, becoming the matriarch of the Dingyuan Marquis’s household.
In her former life, she was the unquestioned head of the household, holding all the power.
After spending half her life in luxury and authority, everyone in the manor had to watch her mood before they acted.
At first, Gu Qiyun thinks this is a pretty good start.
With a small pocket dimension containing fertile farmland, she no longer has to struggle herself to exhaustion. She can simply enjoy her retirement.
Until she pieces together her memories and realizes this world is the setting of a novel she once read.
And the Dingyuan Marquis’s household is the cannon-fodder family in the book, destined to be branded traitors who colluded with the Northern Di and executed to the last member six months from now.
Gu Qiyun: “…”
Now that she knows how things end, she certainly won’t sit back and wait for disaster.
Before long, everyone in the Dingyuan Marquis’s household notices that their matriarch has changed her ways.
She acts with ruthless efficiency, first throwing Bai Zhirou, a Northern Di spy in the main branch, out on the street, then stripping power from her rebellious son and expelling the family’s idiot from the clan.
In a matter of days, she cleans up the entire household, which had been mired in chaos and corruption.
And what about Shen Yunli, the heroine of the original novel, another person who transmigrated into a book and climbed to the position of empress on the corpses of the marquis’s family?
Gu Qiyun gives a cold laugh.
Planning to use the plague in the capital to frame the marquis’s household for stockpiling medicine and colluding with the enemy? One prescription will send your slander right back where it came from.
You want to use the lives of my entire family to pave your way?
Dream on.
