The Abdicating Princess Is Too Swift with Her Blade: Generals Vie to Claim the Civil Officials' Seats

[Blades Too Fast] [Knows the Script] [Beloved by the Military] [Good-for-Nothing Men, Stay Away]...

Jiang Songli, a history PhD, had just earned her doctorate when she downed a bottle of Remy Martin at her celebration banquet. She opened her eyes in the fictional kingdom of Nanzheng, in the body of a young woman with the same name who had suffered terribly at the Hongxiu House brothel.

The original Jiang Songli had staked her reputation to help the man she loved, Gu Hongsheng, travel to the capital for the imperial exams, earning him three hundred taels for his expenses. But with the exam results about to be announced, the impoverished scholar had already decided to sever their ties as soon as he rose to power.

Madam Su forced her to drink a decoction to prevent pregnancy, while rumors throughout the city branded her as a woman of the demimonde. Everyone expected her to fall into ruin. Only Jiang Songli, armed with a thousand years of historical knowledge, could see through the power games between the civil and military officials.

In the Golden Hall, the civil officials wanted to promote Gu Hongsheng as a pawn to check Shen Yixian, who commanded the army.

Everyone else was weighing the pros and cons. Jiang Songli alone calmly asked to dissolve the engagement and severed her ties to the past.

She would not be ruled by love, nor trapped by the rules of propriety.

Grand Secretary Xu set one trap after another, and she turned each one against him. As undercurrents churned through the court, she watched with cool detachment.

Shen Yixian commanded a powerful army. Seeing the clarity and sharpness beneath her beauty, he willingly stood by her side.

The civil officials think they can control everything?

And that faithless top scholar can stay far away!

From now on, she would wield the blade in Nanzheng's game of courtly power.
