From suppressing the rebellion and reducing the power of the princes to relocating the capital and compiling the classics, from conquering the Mongols to venturing to Southeast Asia, I was omnipresent, yet no one knew of my presence. I wielded power in my sleeves, traveling incognito, discreetly! Discreetness is the key to success. A tortuous life, a passive fate, ultimately led to his rise and counterattack. Seemingly a powerless imposter, he reversed his passive life trajectory, creating a new landscape for the entire environment!

The early Ming Dynasty was a time of constant turmoil. It was an era of receding turmoil, yet a group of heroes and ruthless figures stirred history, pushing the Ming Dynasty's rule to its first peak! In such a historical context, how did a small figure from modern times manage to manipulate events, intervene in such upheaval, and achieve his own discreet glory?

After the court session, Chen Jinzhao, clutching the jade tablet, tried to leave with his head down, but was quickly stopped by the chief eunuch waiting outside the Golden Palace.
"Your Excellency, the Regent is waiting for you to come and discuss matters. Please come in."
A four-horse carriage was parked where the Grand Eunuch indicated. Other court officials walked around it from a distance, and even when they passed by from afar, they would still bow deeply to show their respect.
The carriage curtains were not lowered, and the person inside sat upright, motionless as a mountain.

As she is born out of wedlock, even the most important thing for a woman, marriage, can only be manipulated by others and sold at the best price.
