Boss, If You Won't Ascend the Throne, I Will

This is the first time in her two lives after transmigrating to ancient times that Shi Shu has ever been a proper scholar, and she's determined to be a good adviser.

Her boss is in a tough spot? She'll conquer the realm for him!

Her boss keeps getting bullied? She'll teach him how to be the boss!

But why, when she's nearly conquered the realm for him, does she find out she's actually a spy sent to work by his side?

She got the wrong boss!

She hurriedly packed her bags and tried to run, but her boss stopped her outside the city, eyes bloodshot. "Your master wants me dead. Have you finished your mission, or are you running away already?"

Shi Shu: ...Is that any of your business?

At first, Qi Jinzhi didn't take the spy seriously. She couldn't even read, and she was as reckless and rough as a bandit, driving him half mad every day.

He was going to get rid of her sooner or later. It was just that the spy was far too capable. She was always talking to him, and sometimes even smiling at him. He needed time.

Later, when her identity as a spy finally came to light, Qi Jinzhi couldn't help reflecting: "She was there when I was at my lowest."

His friend: "She was the reason you were in trouble. Of course she was there."

Qi Jinzhi: "She saved my life again and again when I was in danger."

His friend: "Wasn't she the one who got you into danger in the first place?"

Qi Jinzhi: ...

It sounds like there's a fly buzzing.

Later still, Shi Shu's identity as a woman was exposed, and the people of the realm called for her death.

The young minister of the Court of Judicial Review, born into a prominent family, stood behind her. "I've followed the rules my whole life. This is the one time I'll put my own wishes first. No one is to touch her."

The wealthy playboy who spent money as fast as water stood at her right. "You dare lay a hand on the person who saved my life?"

The taciturn young general, who always carried a heavy saber on his back, drew his blade and stood at her left. "Anyone who takes one step forward dies."

Qi Jinzhi: ?
