Liu Ruxu, Wu Zetian's substitute in the seventh year of Hengdian, once traveled through time and became the fourth substitute empress of the Wu Zhou Dynasty. On the first day he took office, his identity was revealed at a glance by Di Mingyuan, the powerful minister of Dali Temple. Instead of exposing her, he took her under his wing with a life-and-death contract. During the day, she was a puppet in the court, and at night, she was trained by him. Liu Ruxu uses modern workplace thinking to reduce dimensionality and attack the court, uses KPI to evaluate officials, uses data thinking to uncover the huge corruption in the household department, and counterattacks step by step from being a stand-in to becoming a real power holder. Di Mingyuan went from a "director" who operated calmly to a guardian who lost control of her. Surrounded by many evil forces such as the Crown Prince, Er Zhang, and Princess Taiping, the two worked together to complete the drama of concealing the truth. As Di Renjie's old case is reopened and the truth about Wu Zetian's poisoning comes to light, the identity of the stand-in is on the verge of being exposed. In the end, Liu Ruxu stood firm in the court with her political achievements, and Di Mingyuan put aside her obsession with revenge for her. The two worked together to put down the Shenlong coup. She inherited the power as a non-blood person, creating a legend in which the stand-in empress and the powerful officials redeemed each other and worked side by side in the world.
Positioning of the work: "Dimensionality reduction attack in the ancient workplace + extreme pull in the cultivation system"

Purpose: Use modern workplace thinking to deconstruct the dilemma of ancient imperial power, break the routine of "substitutes must be clumsy, and power tactics must be cold-blooded", and write a growth arc for sober and independent women who do not rely on or blindly obey in desperate situations, and realize their self-worth with professional abilities and a clear mind. It advocates a healthy love concept of two-way running and mutual achievement, breaks the cold logic of "utilization first" in Machiavellian literature, and demonstrates that love and trust can transcend power calculations and redeem the core of people's hearts. At the same time, through the game of court and the struggle of human nature, it conveys the positive values of sticking to the bottom line in adversity, retaining the original intention in good times, and the weak can overcome the situation, and encourages readers to stay awake in difficult situations, stick to themselves, and control their destiny with their own strength.
