    A must-read for seasoned bookworms! This potential blockbuster is a must-read! A reborn top scholar, banished to a brothel, unexpectedly stirs up a shocking case in the Great Zhou Dynasty! A corporate slave's rebirth = starting as a top scholar → berating officials → banished to the brothel! While others rise through the ranks, he directly becomes the head of a state-run brothel. What others see as a messy affair, he turns into the capital's biggest money-making machine! But unbeknownst to him, the brothel's messy accounts conceal a ten-year-old wrongful conviction that led to the massacre of an entire family. A disgraced official's daughter, a former crown prince, power struggles within aristocratic families, a general's wrongful conviction… An old ledger uncovers the darkest secret of the Great Zhou Dynasty! He makes money and rises against all odds while simultaneously overturning the verdict and clearing his name! The protagonist is intelligent, constantly delivering slaps to the face, full of political maneuvering, and emotionally nuanced! Strong plot + intense excitement + dramatic twists – a must-read for anyone looking for something to read!
