Springtime at the Jade Tower

Chu Zhaoran, a post-95 female architect, dies suddenly from overwork and unexpectedly transmigrates to another time and space, becoming the eldest granddaughter of Duke Qi and the County Princess of Runing.

Determined to cherish this hard-won new life, she decides to stay away from architecture and make the most of this unexpected lifetime. For the first decade or so after transmigrating, she lives up to her title as the capital's biggest coward, enjoying a carefree life of eating and drinking, and occasionally saving the handsome young man next door.

But when Duke Qi dies, everything good comes to an abrupt end. The head of the ducal household changes from her kind grandfather to her thoroughly unreliable second uncle.

Her father is thrown in prison, her whole family is placed under house arrest, and her fiance comes to break off their engagement. Can she turn the tide and reverse their fortunes?

She only wants to live a quiet, stable life in the imperial capital, but fate and imperial power keep pushing her toward the whirlpool of power.

Unwilling to be a pawn of the powerful, how will she protect herself and fight back? And how will she rediscover her original aspirations and realize her dreams, step by step, in ancient times?

How will she deal with the handsome young man she's watched grow up, when he boldly confesses his love?

Career woman versus love-struck man: an ancient architect's guide to rising to the top. You won't want to miss it.
