My Foolish Brother Took the Imperial Challenge, So I Disguised Myself as a Man to Save Our Clan

[Disguised as a Man + Courtroom Power Fantasy + The Emperor Falls for His Own Scheme + A Family of Drama Queens + Secret Identities]

After transmigrating, Jiang Zhaoxue did two things:

First, she turned the white silk she had planned to hang herself with into a chest binder. After all, she had just died once and needed to treasure her life.

Second, she stripped her twin brother of his clothes and, under her family's horrified gazes, bound her chest and put on his jade pendant. "From today on, I am the heir, Jiang Feng."

Her useless brother handed her a folding fan with trembling hands. "Sis, deceiving the emperor means our entire clan will be executed..."

She slapped the imperial notice down on the table. "If we can't solve the case of the stolen military grain accounts in three days, our entire clan will be executed anyway."

And so...

By day, she posed as a rakish playboy, using modern economics to bring down a host of corrupt officials. She stabilized grain prices, dealt with locust plagues, and shorted the imperial princes, wielding her power in court and stirring up a storm of bloodshed.

By night, she played a frail young lady, coughing up a "bloodstained handkerchief" and taking her leave whenever she happened to meet the emperor.

Her family came up with 108 emergency plans to keep her secret identity from being exposed. Even the dog in the courtyard learned two different barks.

Later, the young emperor pinned "him" against the imperial desk in his study.

"The red mole behind your ear is exactly like your sister's."

Jiang Zhaoxue didn't even blink. "Your Majesty, it's hereditary."

Behind the screen, the Duke, who had been eavesdropping, fainted on the spot!
