I Assist the Female Emperor with Underhanded Tricks

share time: 2026-01-01 06:21:27

Su Chi, a disgraced scholar from a humble family, accidentally becomes the "hidden strategist" for Empress Jiang Ning. The new dynasty is fragile—her relatives control the military, and powerful officials form cliques, leaving Jiang Ning walking on thin ice. Su Chi chooses to "fight fire with fire": he sows discord between a外戚 father and son with a fake letter, disrupts权臣 plots with false auspicious omens, and even deliberately "exposes his flaws" so Jiang Ning can publicly "punish" him—all to boost her authority. When Jiang Ning’s "use" of him turns into "trust," she discovers the man who always smiles while plotting "underhanded tricks" hides an old wound from taking an assassin’s blade for her years ago—every scheme of his was never about manipulation, but about shielding her from the darkness of the court, even if he has to get his hands dirty.
