After transmigrating into ancient times, I only wanted to pass the civil service exam and lie flat, but the [Strongest Cabinet System] forced me into a 996 schedule! There was nothing I could do but bring modern workplace KPIs and data-driven thinking to the Daqian bureaucracy. An investigating censor impeached me?

The great clans resisted the new taxes? I used flood-relief-zone planning and a work-for-tax model to turn their ancestral estates into sources of fiscal growth! My colleagues wept and begged me to stop competing so ruthlessly, but failing to complete the System's tasks meant death!
