   This is a transmigration story about a modern-day 9-to-5 office worker trying to survive in an alternate dynasty. No system, no cheat codes—just a modern-day 9-to-5 worker struggling to survive! If his IQ isn't high enough, his wife will make up for it; if his martial arts skills are lacking, he'll have plenty of subordinates. Ancient people aren't stupid; for a modern person to survive in ancient times is a challenge. Don't always rely on the imperial examinations—it's like the modern saying "go to university to change your fate!" If you're tired of formulaic face-slapping and ninja/green turtle stories, this might be a good read. It's not a wish-fulfillment story; if you mind, please don't read it. Goodbye! The female lead is well-developed. It's a bit unclear whether this is a male-oriented or female-oriented story; it's more of a neutral one.

    Although this is a female-oriented novel, the author knows how to gradually transform the story. It has no system, is logical, and is not mindless. The female lead has high emotional intelligence and is very good at spoiling the male lead, giving him whatever he wants. There are no palace intrigue scenes; the main plot revolves around transforming ancient times.
