In Search of the Jade Bough

[A Cunning Old Fox Who Plans Ahead VS A Clever, Witty Little Fox] Before she transmigrated, Liu Mi was a high-powered career woman whose perfume business was booming. After transmigrating, she was thrown into a deadly predicament. As she watched her companions get strangled and bled one by one, she knew she couldn’t just stand by, so she rolled up her sleeves and fought back. But escaping the wolf’s den only landed her in a tiger’s lair. He had uncovered her little secret, and her entire family’s lives were firmly in his hands. But who was she? A seasoned businesswoman, shrewd at every calculation and bargaining over every last coin. Even the Chancellor’s tricks were child’s play to her. His clever plan met its match, and once the papers were signed, no one could back out. Liu Mi thought she had been caught up in nothing more than a sinister political struggle hidden from public view. But as she followed him across the realm, witnessing the suffering of ordinary people and the cruelty of a fickle world, she came to see the broken bonds between ruler and ministers, and the troubles of her own birth. She would remember his words for the rest of her life: “Liu Mi, you’re the only reason I keep going.”
