    Zhao Jiuyuan had just attended a friend's Hanfu gathering when her father urged her to return to her hometown of Hanzhong. While driving through a tunnel, she accidentally entered a time tunnel and was transported to the Qin Dynasty two thousand years ago. She was also bound to a "Famous Minister System" and given a two-square-meter space... What?! She can't go home unless she becomes a legendary minister? She's a woman! [Thumbs up] A legendary minister? Hell-level difficulty! Helpless, she could only disguise herself as a man and embark on that unknown path. Fortunately, she had the system's help and a useless two-square-meter space. The road ahead is arduous and long; watch as Zhao Jiuyuan shines with the brilliance of the Qin Dynasty in this parallel universe.
