From Cowardly Cannon Fodder to Female Chancellor with an Office System

You can add my new novel's page to your favorites. The blurb is at the end~

Top secretary Song Zhiyu transmigrated into a book and became a spineless supporting female character.

Born a concubine's daughter in the Minister of Works' household, she suffered endless bullying. Then she was sent to the palace disguised as a boy to serve as a study companion to the utterly depraved villain, the Seventh Prince. To her surprise, she awakened a complete office-management System.

After witnessing the ancient world's preference for men over women, Song Zhiyu could no longer hold back. She resolved to guide the dissolute Seventh Prince onto the right path and help him compete for the throne. That would let her enter the political arena and reform society's prejudices, launching her cheat-powered campaign to reprogram the male lead and turn him into a diligent student: opening a tutoring class for the Seventh Prince, solving a corruption case in the inner palace, establishing administrative systems for the inner palace, and managing infrastructure projects.

As the Seventh Prince's reputation as a candidate for crown prince grew, Song Zhiyu became famous in the capital. Everyone knew that whoever won over the Song family's legitimate son could win the realm! A noble title and high office seemed just around the corner. But during a trip to inspect river management, Song Zhiyu was caught up in a conspiracy amid factional strife. Her political enemies set a trap to drag her down and use it to attack the Seventh Prince's faction.

Watching her colleagues gather around, desperately worrying on her behalf, she heard them say: "Romantic rumors are the hardest things to prove, and the hardest to disprove. Besides, the details are so vivid... Their honey trap is truly vicious!"

Song Zhiyu gave an awkward smile. "Um... is it possible that I can disprove it?"

[Reading Guide]

1. I'm still outlining the story. If there's no update by 10 p.m., it will be posted the next day.

2. Happy ending, 1v1. The female lead is a rational, driven careerist, while the male lead is a scheming, jealous romantic.

3. The female lead is single-mindedly focused on her career and slow to recognize her feelings, and thinks she's hiding them well. Early on, the male lead mostly falls for her on his own and chases her one-sidedly! The female lead's identity is revealed much later~

4. There won't be any major rewrites. If you see updates to earlier chapters, I'm just fixing errors~

5. The setting is fictional, with many original inventions. Please don't overanalyze it.

The following is a blurb for a story coming soon. Feel free to skip it if you don't want to read it

The Princess Is a Calamity Sent from Heaven:

Xiao Zifei transmigrated and became the infamous calamity princess of the Xiao Empire. Not only was she sent to the Yue Kingdom as a hostage, she was also secretly tasked with bringing ruin to the Yue Kingdom.

Xiao Zifei: "With this little money, it's hard to get anything done for you!"

Emperor Xiao: "I'll add ten thousand taels of gold every year. If you refuse, I'll send you off for a political marriage."

Xiao Zifei's love of money awakened! "Dear Father, just how much chaos do you want in the Yue Kingdom?"

Spread slander, encourage witchcraft, empower the clans, and fatten up the vassal states.

Xiao Zifei: "The weather's turning cold. The Yue Kingdom should fall."

Xiao Zifei presented a series of sinister schemes, then packed her bags to flee, waiting for civil unrest to tear the Yue Kingdom apart. Instead, she received an imperial edict of commendation from the Yue emperor! The kingdom appeared more prosperous than ever, the court and the public showered her with praise, and princes and high officials eagerly sought her hand.

One urgent secret letter after another arrived from the Qi Kingdom, threatening her mother and repeatedly expressing murderous intent! Xiao Zifei was furious. "Can't they see that these are all schemes to bring down the kingdom? They're crazy! Is there not one normal person here?"

There was one, the only "normal person": the Yue Kingdom's Seventh Prince, Liang Yuhuai. He had watched everything she did and was already grinding his teeth in hatred. "You truly are a calamity. You can fool the whole world with your schemes, but not me!"

Xiao Zifei rushed over, weeping with gratitude. "Waaaah, you're the only one who understands me!"

Liang Yuhuai blushed to the tips of his ears. "Y-You witch! Don't try that on me."

Xiao Zifei: "We're the only two people in the Qi and Yue Kingdoms who understand what's going on! I'll help you take the throne, reform the government, and drive out foreign enemies. In exchange, give my mother and me a life of peace and security. What do you say?"

Liang Yuhuai: "I'm just a wealthy idler. I have no idea what you're talking about."

Xiao Zifei smiled slyly. "Don't try that on me, you black-hearted little schemer!"
