Pattin Sinclair is one of the country's most distinguished ladies.
Her mother has a title and her father owns a bank.
However, she does not have a share in the bank or the title, because she has two brothers above her.
According to her father's family plan: the eldest son seeks stability and inherits the family business; the second son seeks risk and enters the political world. Just enough to divide the bank and the title equally.
As for her, the whole family has high hopes for her: the last daughter can just wait to be asked to marry.
The Master is looking at Pattin Sinclair with disappointment in the sky, saying that you are probably destined to be a rich lady for the first half of your life, and then a rich wife for the second half of your life. Ordinary! Vulgar!
Unexpectedly, the gears of fate began to turn quietly after she accidentally got involved in the death secrets of the old king and the second prince. The second princess who newly succeeded to the throne packed up Patin and sent her to the government, resolutely solving the "post-graduation employment problem" she was facing.
Many years later, when faced with the response of "Yes, Ms. Sinclair" from her subordinates, Pattin Sinclair, who had become cabinet secretary, could not recall that distant night - the beginning of everything, when she had kept a secret for a murderer.

1. The text is in the first person.
2. This article is a product of "Y(P)M" (the British drama series "Yes, Minister" and "Yes, Prime Minister") for Love Power. All descriptions of political, social, economic and other issues are modeled after the United Kingdom at that time in the play, and there is no intention to allude to any other country or politics. At the same time, because the author does not know the real situation in Britain, to show respect, he will not mention that this is Britain in the text, and will mix real newspapers, place names, fictitious school names, etc.
3. It is established that royal power has not been completely eliminated, and the monarch still retains some real power.
4. It is not Machiavellian writing, it is at most street stall and office struggle literature; comedy writing will mix jokes in the Chinese context, most of the jokes in the English context come directly from "Y(P)M"; non-career writing, the author is a writer of emotional flow, promotion and honors and wealth are just the author's reward for the heroine; not female strong writing, not female consciousness theme, it is only suitable to put aside the brain and have fun with the heroine, there are more male supporting characters than female supporting characters, because Hyun is suppressed and wants to have sex.
5. The character design of the male supporting character Sir Howard is largely based on Sir Humphrey in "Y(P)M". The civil service system is a reference to the nepotistic relationship of being from the same university. There is no reference for the character design of other characters.
6. Single arrow, meeting many people, the heroine has low morals but has Schrödinger's sense of justice. She is the type who cheats on each other in the workplace but will take the initiative to help old ladies on the street. There are: real chaff single arrow, gravity female single arrow, married person with family and family bucket single arrow...
7. Possible Q&A:
Q: Why are all the officials men?
A: First, I am just copying the political description in "Y(P)M"; secondly, although "Y(P)M" clearly mentions that there are no senior female officials in the government, given that the Prime Minister was Margaret Thatcher when the show was popular (it is just stating the objective facts, without any praise or criticism, please don't start debating the political performance), so you can take it as fun and assume that there are not a few female senior officials in the corners that the author did not write about.
Q: Why don't you write about female senior officials? How about just writing about men? I want to see the women!
A: Because I am not a writer of female group portraits, I am just a romance writer with little skill. If you want to see more female supporting characters, you can go to read Female Group Portraits or Lily. I just want to devote my energy to the heroine and write about her workplace love life. Please choose the type you like, rather than forcing other types to become what you like.
Q: Why doesn't the female protagonist solve people's livelihood problems when she becomes an official? How inhumane!
A: This is the evil capitalist society! We cannot cultivate good comrades who truly serve the people! I'll turn my back on you first!
Q: Is there a male protagonist?
A: No, a vicious mother-in-law cannot choose a good son-in-law.
