My Virtuous Wife Rolls Me Toward Success

Zhou Jingyi, a top scorer on the national college entrance exam, wakes up as a poor girl in the Ming Dynasty.

To survive in ancient times, she'll have to rely on her studies. She packs her things, disguises herself as a boy, and heads straight to an academy.

Once there, she discovers that there are five more "hidden dragons" just like her.

Life at the academy:

"Oh my god! The characters go down the page! Oh my god! The only part of the Analects I can recite is 'Isn't it a joy?' Oh! Help me tighten my chest binding..."

"I've invented a kind of mahjong that combines the Four Books and Five Classics with essay-writing for the civil service exam. You have to try it!"

"If I can't pass, then I can't pass. I..."

Well, the civil service exams are more fun when everyone takes them together.

But after using cheat codes all the way to becoming the top scholar, Zhou Jingyi discovers that every friend around her seems to have cheat codes of their own...

Investigating corruption?

The billionaire with a finance degree hands her a complete "Report on the Flow of Capital Involved in Corruption" and hard evidence. "I've traced the money and tracked down the people. Just bring your men to raid their homes. I want to make sure they never get pearl milk tea again!"

Dealing with floods?

The water-conservancy expert, a perennial runner-up, unfolds a GIS-grade river renovation plan. "Follow this process to dredge the river, and the problem will be solved for good. Oh, the budget and timeline are attached. Call me 'Mom,' and I'll throw in consulting services."

Relief for disaster victims?

The lucky "eunuch" faction leader pays a "friendly visit" to the military command. "Great news! My godsons are donating their entire fortunes. Our disaster victims will be saved!"

Accused of forming a faction?

The hard-headed censor Li Yun bangs her head on the floor in court, weeping bitterly. "Chief Councillor Zhou's KPI assessments have everyone working 24/7. Nobody likes us, not even the dogs! Anyone who joins her faction must have a screw loose!"

Watching her career soar, Zhou Jingyi falls into deep thought. "Is being Chief Councillor supposed to be this easy?"

The richest woman counts her banknotes. "Unlike me, I have a pile of patents in hand. I earned every one of them step by step~"

The head of the "eunuch" faction twists her fingers together. "I just manage the Eastern Depot's corporate culture. Unlike Lu Wen, whose 'security company' has expanded all the way to the Timurid Khanate."

The three top civil-service exam candidates: Zhou Jingyi, Jiang Jiaojie, and Li Yun.

A wealthy businesswoman: Meng Jiaojiao.

A great general: Lu Wen.

A leader of the "eunuch" faction: Cheng Sufang.

A lively, hilarious power fantasy.
