[No Romance] [Ambitious Female Lead] [A Political World of Chaos] [Every Official at Court Is a Villain]
The Great Yan dynasty's treasury is empty, and the powerful clans hold the empire in their grasp.
Shen Yangyang, a woman disguised as a low-ranking official who clawed her way out of a brothel built on filth, plunges headfirst into this cesspit with all the shameless habits of a street thug.
In this world of officials, corrupt ones covet wealth, honest ones covet fame, and no one is clean.
She won't be an upright official or a corrupt one. She'll be the one running the table.
Corrupt officials covet silver? She robs the robbers, seizes their estates, and exterminates their families, offering the silver to the emperor while slipping the land deeds into her own pocket.
Honest officials are stubborn? She sets traps and uses the people's lives to force them to yield, then makes them attack her political enemies for her.
She moves among fierce tigers and a pack of wolves, using the most shameless methods to accomplish great things that benefit the country and its people.
The emperor thinks she's a useful dog. Her political enemies think she's a fool who only cares about money.
The officials at court get so furious their blood pressure spikes, while the local thugs are left with nothing but their underwear.
Then one day, her secret identity as a woman is exposed in court.
