[Strong Female Lead's Rise] [Abusing Scum and Face-Slapping] [Clash with a Matriarchal Worldview, High-Stakes from the Start!] This book can be seen as a female-led version of The Deer and the Cauldron. Follow the heroine Yan Xixi as she goes from a madwoman on the streets to the pinnacle of power, dominating both the martial world and the imperial court. What are Wei Xiaobao's seven wives compared to Yan Xixi's seven male admirers? And these aren't a motley bunch thrown together to make up the numbers. Every one of them is an outstanding man! What, revenge on the scum? That's just a minor side quest for Yan Xixi.
Yan Xixi was once a top finance student, but after marrying into a wealthy family, she became invisible. Her husband gave her the silent treatment, her in-laws despised her, and her sisters-in-law made life difficult at every turn. She escaped reality by immersing herself in matriarchal-world novels, imagining that she too could wield power over all.
Then, the moment her husband smashed her phone, she really did find herself inside Fengming Yuge, the novel she'd been reading!
In the matriarchal Yu Dynasty, women can hold office, do business, and roam the martial world with swords at their sides. And she? She wakes up as a street-corner madwoman, dressed in rags and scorned by everyone.
But fate gives her a chance to turn things around: the empress herself has established a talent-selection exam, and the questions are on modern economics! As all the talented women in the room rack their brains over how to fill the treasury, Yan Xixi raises a trembling hand:
"I know this one!"
From a bullied daughter-in-law in a wealthy family to a guest of honor at the empress's side, from economic theory to real-world politics, she will use modern thinking to turn this matriarchal world upside down!
