Chu Yuanyuan transmigrates into the body of a low-ranking official and awakens the "Chosen Capitalist System." While everyone else goes to court to slack off and coast through the day, she goes to implement KPIs and bottom-tier elimination. Even the ruthless tyrant on the throne is made to sit at his desk and work through the night on an abacus!
The Great Chu court is corrupt and rotten, and its officials spend their days doing nothing. Drinking tea and fighting crickets is the norm. Transmigrating as a poor minor official who disguises herself as a man, Chu Yuanyuan can't even afford to eat from the start.
Driven half-mad by poverty, she looks at her colleagues, who get full pay for doing no work, and feels her inner workaholic ignite. Being an official isn't so hard, right? Then get grinding! She furiously invents a time clock and forces through performance reviews, bringing modern 996 workplace gaslighting straight to Great Chu. The villains try to ruin her with bogus accounts? She produces gigantic PowerPoint reports and pie charts, calculates ROI right there in court, and demands reverse severance compensation of N+1 during their termination settlement, leaving the old minister owing the treasury five million taels. His estate is seized to repay the debt!
The officials are tormented until they weep and wail, then rush to the tyrant for help in the middle of the night. But when they open the door, they find the cold and ruthless emperor, dark circles under his eyes, struggling to review memorials. "Chief Councilor Chu, I've attended court for thirty days straight. Could you give me one day of annual leave?"
Chu Yuanyuan replies without expression, "Your five-year plan isn't finished, Your Majesty. You're working overtime again tonight."
Witness how a hell-level workaholic uses an abacus to win half the tyrant's empire!
