[A sweet and delicate girl versus a calm and composed powerful minister]

(Both are virgins, childhood sweethearts, and their long-standing unrequited love has finally come true)

Shen Mingshu was pampered by Jiang Xun as she grew up, but because of his strictness and coldness, she always feared him as if he were her own life.

After being drugged, she was taken away by her childhood sweetheart, a young general. When they were caught in the act, she had no choice but to marry him.

Little did the young general know that he had someone else in his heart, and on his wedding day, he took a concubine into the household.

The young general doted on his concubine, yet he spoke coldly and indifferently to her.

They went to burn incense and pray to Buddha in the outskirts of Beijing, but unexpectedly, bandits attacked. The young general hurriedly fled with his concubine, leaving her with the bandits...

To save herself, Shen Mingshu committed suicide by walking into a knife.

After death, she became a ghost and witnessed Jiang Xun avenge her and die for her...

——

When she opened her eyes, she was back to the night Shen Mingshu was drugged.

Despite the burning sensation and discomfort, she cried as she went to find Jiang Xun and threw herself into his arms.

"Brother..."

Her voice trembled, choked with sobs.

Shen Mingshu cried bitterly, her heart filled with the grievances she had suffered and the guilt and heartache she felt towards Jiang Xun.

I never expected it, in a place she couldn't see.

The usually composed and restrained minister's ears subtly flushed red...

——

Later, Shen Mingshu was pinned against the wall by Jiang Xun, with the cold wall behind her and his burning breath in front of her.

Her breathing was erratic, her eyes were red, and her fingers were trembling slightly.

Only at this moment did she truly understand—

She messed with someone she shouldn't have!

Jiang Xun... is not at all what he seems!

[Transmigrated Cannon Fodder + Multiple Female Leads + Cruelly Abusing the Chosen One + Imperial Guard + Imperial Examination + Officialdom + Eliminating Traitors + Empress]

He transmigrated into the body of Lin Zhi, a cannon fodder young master in a book. Ten years ago, his father went to the countryside to collect rent and took in a little boy who was about to starve to death. Now, the boy has achieved academic success and is suing him in the capital for forcibly stealing his academic achievements. A servant's daughter wants to take him as a fall guy. After becoming pregnant with the boy's child, she even helps him give false testimony, planning to kill Lin Zhi together in the Shuntian Prefecture court.

Fortunately, the literary leader arrived, and he astonished the world with his skills in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. A mural of "Guanyin Sending a Child" drew worship from believers throughout the city; a poem, "A Laughter in the Vast Sea," amazed the entire capital's literary circles; his chess skills rivaled those of the nation's top players; his unique "slender gold" calligraphy astonished civil and military officials; and his vast knowledge of poetry made others hesitant to compose. Who would believe that such a brilliant and talented young nobleman would steal the mere title of student from his own servant?

In court, his silver tongue sent his page to the guillotine, ensuring his servant's daughter would spend the rest of her life in prison. To protect his family's wealth and maintain his standing, he joined the Embroidered Uniform Guard, becoming the Empress's top henchman. He rose step by step from a lowly officer to a commander, eventually creating the Embroidered Uniform Guard's secret branch and becoming an underground emperor.

He thought he only needed to sharpen his knife and kill people, but the rebellion played a trick on him. He was ordered to investigate the cheating in the imperial examination and participated in the provincial examination. He then passed the provincial examination with the highest score and entered the court. With his strong backing, he was promoted in one fell swoop. He became Minister in two years and Grand Secretary in three years. The Ice Queen said that she only wanted to become the biggest.

Since entering the palace, Yun Li has transformed into a two-faced, hypocritical woman. She's a constant charade. Facing the favored concubine, she'll verbally attack her while feigning grievance, saying, "I envy you for receiving His Majesty's favor." When framed, she'll slap her casually before crying, "Why treat kind people like this?" When the Empress speaks, she nods absentmindedly, "Your Majesty is my guiding light! I will always obey Your Majesty!" But when facing the Emperor himself, she's obedient, adorable, and utterly devoted. "I love you so much! I have no regrets, I only wish to stay by your side, I want nothing more." However, in her heart: "I don't like you, I'm just being sweet-talking."

Qin Ke was killed by a ruthless fugitive who had escaped, and when she opened her eyes again, she found herself in an unknown dynasty.

The original owner was a gambler who started out penniless, but luckily he wasn't that bad off yet, as he was given a free transmigration system shop as a bonus.

But what?! Not only did he transmigrate into a man, but he also has a wife he bought into his family.

When Qin Ke rushed home, he saw the woman tied to the bed and felt like crying. He just felt sorry for her and thought he would treat her well. He bought seeds in the system store and grew crops that were far ahead of their time to make a fortune. Later, he developed agricultural tools and designed various inventions that benefited the country and the people.

Meanwhile, his wife had already passed the imperial examination and become a disciple of the Princess, rising to a higher and higher official position.

Qin Ke just wanted to say: My wife, please hug me, please protect me!

Currently updating the modern-day side story: Watch how the cunning Prime Minister Lu seduces Qin Ke, a blank slate who has lost her memory.

Zhang Yunxiu was in a hurry to travel back in time to become Zhang Juzheng's youngest son.

A year later, his adoptive father passed away, leaving his family devastated; two years later, the Thirteenth Prince, wielding only a boarhide armor, rose in rebellion, embarking on his path to usurp the throne; seven years later, England defeated the invincible Armored Fleet, beginning a bloody primitive accumulation of wealth.

Fierce factional strife, land annexation, border corruption, and the silver crisis are like a sword hanging over our heads.

...

However, four hundred years later, when people opened the historical records, they were surprised to find that history had inexplicably taken a different turn in the ninth year of the Wanli reign.

In that year, the first comprehensive newspaper in the Ming Dynasty, the Wanli Xinbao, was launched, deconstructing Yangming's philosophy of mind and setting off a groundbreaking intellectual revolution.

In that year, modern medical theory was proposed for the first time, and the plague problem that had plagued people for thousands of years was contained for the first time.

That year, the gentry experienced for the first time what the iron fist of macroeconomics truly meant.

From this year onward, the already precarious Wanli New Deal unexpectedly triggered a major upheaval unprecedented in a century! Inventions and discoveries of all kinds, such as the steam engine, sweet potato, and flintlock musket, emerged one after another!

From that year onward, the headstrong Wanli Emperor became obsessed with artistic creation, and Zhang Juzheng, who had been struggling to support the crumbling Ming Dynasty, suddenly realized that his support had become somewhat weak.

Once regarded as a rebellious and absurd son, he actually managed to hold up half of the Ming Dynasty!

This book is also known as *The Chief Architect of the Industrial Revolution in the Ming Dynasty*, *Zhang Yunxiu: A Loving Father and Filial Son*, *The Living Father of the Civil Official Group*, and *My Cartoons Are More Important Than Memorials*.

The Northern Wei and Southern Liang dynasties were prosperous, but at the same time, the spiritual energy of the world was gradually being depleted. This was the end of the Dharma and the exhaustion of spiritual energy recorded in the classics of the cultivation world. Lin Yi was one of the first new cultivators in the Southern Liang dynasty in this era.

In her past life, Shen Wanli sacrificed everything for her family, but her family loathed her and doted on the fake heiress born to the daughter of a disgraced official.

Upon waking up after her rebirth, Shen Wanli coldly observes the situation.

Her fiancé pressured her to give up the favor of saving his life to a fake heiress, and she agreed.

She then revealed her true feelings to the emperor, and the fake heiress and her fiancé were beaten until their faces were swollen for deceiving the emperor.

When her elder brother was assassinated at a banquet, she no longer shielded him with her own body, and watched as his right hand was crippled, preventing him from taking the imperial examinations.

Youyou confided her innermost thoughts: "Didn't my older brother complain that I was in his way in his past life, saying that he could dodge the arrows even without me blocking them? Didn't Shen Nianjiao say that she would have shielded my older brother from the arrows with her own body too?"

Her second brother was a gambler and squandered the family fortune, so she stopped meddling in his affairs, bought the casino, and let him empty the family's coffers while she made a fortune.

Second Brother is right, gambling is just a small hobby. Anyway, our Marquis's mansion is big and prosperous. If you run out of money, remember to ask your sensible little sister Nianjiao for some!

Her third brother was poisoned by a curse, and she no longer tested the medicine on herself. She watched as he lost all his martial arts skills and tried to protect the fake heiress.

[In my past life, my third brother said that I was scheming by keeping the antidote from the whole family. Shen Nianjiao also said that if she had known earlier, she would have definitely tested the poison on herself for you. Why wouldn't she try it in this life?]

Later, her fiancé and brothers were filled with remorse and hated the fake heiress to the core, begging for her forgiveness on their knees.

Shen Wanli, however, smiled and called out to the sinister Ninth Prince, "Brother."

The ruthless commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard also stood guard beside her, wielding his embroidered spring knife, ready to kill anyone who stood in her way.

Even the Crown Prince, who was rushing to be reincarnated, was startled awake by her deathbed illness.

A brothel madam was arrested for her crimes, and Ajiao, who hadn't yet served any customers, was sent back to her aunt's house by the authorities. Sixteen-year-old Ajiao had a fair face, cherry lips, could play the zither and sing, and could massage shoulders and backs, but because she had drunk a potion that would prevent her from having children, no one wanted her. The old Mrs. Zhao next door gritted her teeth and spent ten taels of silver to hire her as a concubine for the official Zhao Yanping. Before she died, Old Mrs. Zhao held her grandson's hand and repeatedly instructed him: "She's just a toy I bought for you to learn manners. Use her before you get married. When you're really ready to marry, sell her beforehand. Don't keep her to cause trouble for my proper granddaughter-in-law!" Zhao Yanping: "Okay." Later, Zhao Yanping took Ajiao and the child to kowtow at the old lady's grave. "Grandmother, from now on, Ajiao will be your proper granddaughter-in-law. Is that alright?" Reading Notes: 1.

In his previous life, Cui Xian was a PhD in Chinese Language and Literature from a prestigious 985 university.

In this life, he transmigrated to a poor family in ancient times—

A poor family, a pregnant mother, young older siblings, a father and uncle who failed the college entrance exam six times, a grandmother who fantasizes about her son passing the exam and suffers from hysteria, and him who is only eight years old.

Choi Hyun: This is too tragic.

To change his fate, Cui Xian went out to work as a page for a rich young master.

But the young master was a poor student and afraid of taking the exam, so he came up with a bad idea: to secretly register Cui Xian for the imperial examination.

As a result, Cui Xian not only passed the exam, but also went on a killing spree.

He began his studies at the age of eight, wrote "Ode to the Goose" at eight, "Sympathy for the Peasants" at eight and a half, and "... " at nine... Countless great poets were so moved by his work that they gave up writing altogether.

His eight-legged essays laid the foundation for the eight-legged essay format and are hailed as the 'foundational' work.

He opened the stage for debate, engaging in a verbal battle with renowned scholars and learned men from all over the world, proving himself unbeatable.

His commentaries on the Four Books were included in official schools and became the ancient version of the imperial examination textbooks.

He achieved the highest rank in the imperial examination at the age of seventeen.

He also mentored six disciples who became top scholars in the imperial examinations.

He entered the cabinet as Grand Secretary at the age of twenty-seven, reaching the pinnacle of his official career.

He was the last pillar of the literary world in Daliang, a role model and idol for scholars.

Of all the talents in the world, he alone possesses eight-tenths.

He could compose poetry and debate classics when he was in retirement, and write policy essays when he was in the civil service examinations. With his pen, he could govern a great nation; on horseback, he could bring peace to the world.

He single-handedly extended the dynasty's life by three hundred years.

They destroyed Japanese pirates, eliminated the Tatars, built cannons and arsenals, assembled warships, opened up new sea routes, and launched expeditions to Europe.

It became the behind-the-scenes controlling shareholder in 16 countries around the world.

He stood, and the emperor dared not sit.

The officials and ministers wept bitterly, eagerly awaiting: When will the Grand Secretary return to ascend the throne?

And it all started that day when Cui Xian took the imperial examination in place of his young master…
