A lecherous, corrupt official x an emperor with a hopeless crush
On her first day transmigrated into the role of Minister of Revenue, the System said: "Start by embezzling a few hundred taels."
Bai Yifu: "I'm a successor to socialism. I'd rather die than give in."
System: "Disobey and you'll die."
Then she died.
If she didn't embezzle enough, the System would kill her. If she embezzled too much, the court would execute her.
So she had no choice but to embezzle, then secretly use the money to provide disaster relief for the people.
She set her sights on the foolish emperor, Wen Xiulan.
He was easy to fool, loved to play, and spent every day holding out his hand for money.
Bai Yifu: "Your Majesty, corruption is growing worse by the day. They're all living in luxury, yet Your Majesty can't even afford to build a treasure pavilion. Are you willing to put up with that?"
Wen Xiulan: "Hurry up and tell me your plan!"
Using memories from her previous life, Bai Yifu proposed double-entry bookkeeping to combat corruption and fill the treasury.
To maintain the System's required persona as a corrupt official, she became greedy and lecherous.
Only she had the nerve to embezzle Wen Xiulan himself, then embezzle her way to the position of chancellor, and even the throne!
