Blurb:

Lan Xi transmigrates into the body of a Ministry of Works official accused of treason, and she's due to be executed in two days!

Wait! Is there any way to save me?

By chance, she also gets bound to an architecture System. The System tells her she can go home once she finishes building the first tower.

Lan Xi is speechless. Is going home really her biggest concern right now? It's staying alive! She's about to lose her life!

The System declares proudly: [Host, I've checked. This cell is old and unstable. You can dig your way out!]

Lan Xi: Thank you ever so much. Please roll away over there...

After barely saving her own life, she runs into Xiao Ziheng, the fearsome General of Ding'an!

He pinches her chin. "I'll find the evidence, then ask His Majesty for permission to cut off your head with my own hands."

Lan Xi: Why does everyone want my head?

---Blurb for the upcoming book below---

The Thunbergia Doesn't Fight for Spring

Tu He disguises herself as a man and becomes the young Minister of the Court of Judicial Review.

She is handsome and refined, with an otherworldly air.

Outwardly, people praise her to the skies. In private, they look down on her and slander her, claiming she slept her way to the top.

She has never cared. All she wants is revenge.

The current emperor, Li Guanqi, is very fond of her. They met when they were young, back when he was a carefree prince and she was merely a local constable.

They started out fighting, then became friends. He thinks of her as his sworn brother.

There are rumors of ghosts in the imperial palace.

On a long palace walkway, he hugs her and whines, "Tu He, there are ghosts in the palace. I'm scared. Don't leave the palace tonight, okay?"

Tu He: "I can't. It wouldn't be proper."

Li Guanqi is in a bad mood today.

On the long palace walkway, he hugs her again and shakes her vigorously. "Tu He, I'm feeling down today. Stay in the palace and drink with me."

Tu He: "No. It wouldn't be proper."

Li Guanqi is in a great mood today.

On the long palace walkway, he hugs her once more and drags her toward the palace. "Tu He, I'm in a wonderful mood today. Stay in the palace and drink with me!"

Tu He: "It wouldn't be proper."

Li Guanqi drags Tu He along and declares arrogantly, "I am propriety!"

He foolishly thinks of her as the brother he'd trust with his life. Who could have guessed that, overnight, his sworn brother would turn out to be a woman...

Li Guanqi: Wait a minute. I need some time to think.
