In her previous life, Shi Chujiu worked as an auditor and dropped dead at her desk. Now she has been reincarnated as the lowest-ranking, idle female bookkeeper in the Chief Minister's residence.
Faced with the eight hundred schemes a day of household infighting, she decisively chooses to lie flat: never take sides, never work overtime. Leaving on time is the ultimate principle!
She thought that with her "divine mental arithmetic" golden finger, she could finish the accounts in half an hour each day and spend the rest of her life lounging in the back courtyard. Who could have guessed she would be assigned to the study of Lou Tinghe, the mad Chief Minister everyone called the "Living Yama"?
Even worse, this Chief Minister suffers from severe paranoia and is a master of wild conjecture!
She gets sleepy while doing the accounts and falls asleep with her head on the desk.
Lou Tinghe thinks in alarm: [The assassin's knockout incense had no effect on her? This woman's inner strength is unfathomably deep!]
She finds the fraudulent accounts too troublesome to investigate and simply shifts the blame to the steward.
Lou Tinghe sneers: [She saw at a glance that the steward was a mole and used someone else's hand to kill him. What ruthless cunning!]
To avoid the terrifying family banquet at the Chief Minister's residence, she deliberately pretends to be ill.
Lou Tinghe is delighted: [She knew tonight's banquet would be a trap, so she avoided the danger in advance. She even pretended to be ill to warn me. Good, very good! Give her all the keys to the storerooms and promote her to chief steward!]
Shi Chujiu looks at the ever-growing account books and the ill-gotten assets of corrupt officials that the Chief Minister sends her every day, on the verge of tears. "My lord, I really just want to slack off!"
Lou Tinghe wipes the blood from his sword and draws her into his arms. "Since Chujiu doesn't want to manage the accounts of this residence, then become the mistress of the empire's treasury for me!"
