[Cross-Dressing as a Man] [Dual Information Gap] [Reverse Path to Godhood] [Everyone Thinks She Is a Genius] [One-on-One, Both Pure]
Modern-day auditor Shen Yan transmigrates into the body of a poor county magistrate. Disguised as a man, she saves up 98,000 taels in private funds, determined to reach 100,000 and buy a mountain to retire on.
But the [Pure Official System] is anything but helpful: for every tael she embezzles, she incurs ten taels of debt. It forces her to take on massive infrastructure projects, and if the books don't balance, a heavenly bolt of lightning will erase her!
Shen Yan frantically tries to get herself fired:
She mixes sand into the porridge, then swallows it in public to save thousands of refugees; she demands bribes, then uses the money to build a concrete seawall against tsunamis; she fakes a map to betray the country, then uses a mighty cannon to level the barbarian tribe's stronghold!
The moment she submits her resignation, the court's loyal ministers weep and threaten to dash their heads against the pillars: "If His Majesty dares accept the resignation, we will all die right here in the grand hall!"
Shen Yan stubbornly keeps her chest bound in white silk, convinced that the tyrant who secretly travels incognito, shares her bed, and earns five taels a month is a closeted gay man trying to seduce his subordinate.
The emperor, Xiao Ce, has long seen through her disguise as a woman. He slowly corners her against the wall. "Your Excellency has embezzled my heart. Where do you think you're running off to now?"
