The Daily Life of the Cunning Qing Official
大清厚黑日常
Synopsis
By a twist of fate, she found herself married to the future Prime Minister. In countless Qing dynasty time-travel novels, Third Miss Gu was always a mere background character. But in this moment, her world turned upside down.
What did the fierce battle for the imperial throne have to do with her? She was only here to drift through life and wait for its end in peace.
However, no matter how much she wanted to take it easy, her marriage turned out to be far from ideal—not that she went searching for trouble, but trouble certainly found its way to her!
From being scorned as the son of a lowly official to rising as a revered statesman at the pinnacle of power, His Excellency the Prime Minister will show you how the top secretary of the Qing Dynasty was forged.
Yet, with a knowing smile, Third Miss Gu gently dismantles his myth:
“Oh please,” she chuckles, “wasn’t all of that just a result of smoothing things over and muddling through?”
