Old soul

NamelessQ
After years studying at the Academy of the Veiled Eye, Elias Marlow finally turns eighteen and is “free” to choose his future. Instead, the kingdom politely shoves him into the Shadow Path — basically the intelligence division but with more masks, fewer rules, and way too many opportunities to die creatively. He is sent to continue his promising career as a rogue operative — mostly because he has a perfect poker face and the kingdom needs more people who can lie convincingly under pressure. Elias hopes this job involves freedom and less work. It will involve neither. The Kingdom of the Veiled Crown is small, fog-covered, and located between empires with actual armies. Since farming and trade are hopeless, the country specializes in one thing: intelligence gathering. Witness the rise (or probably hilarious collapse) of Mirage’s newest operative. In this kingdom’s one and only city: Mirage. Yes, that’s really its name. And yes, everyone agrees the Council didn’t use even a single brain cell naming it.

[Fake Aristocrat + Empress Regnant + Identity Concealment + Charisma + Nation-building + Personal Growth] Luo Wei has transmigrated.

They say she's a commoner who can't do geometry? Luo Wei smiles slightly: Isn't it just trigonometric functions? She learned that in middle school! What? They say she's poor and has no money? She casually produces an entire bolt of silk fabric to make pajamas, and while she's at it, makes a chest full of silk handkerchiefs, using them once and tossing them away. They say she has no fief and isn't a true noble? Hah! She makes money by day and reclaims land by night. While attending school, she's busy cultivating land. Soon, millions of square kilometers of fertile soil in the New World are all hers. She establishes her own country and ennobles herself! Finally, her identity is exposed by an old acquaintance. The Holy Church wants to put her on trial, presenting evidence that she's not a noble - they couldn't find her patent of nobility in the Mist Kingdom. Luo Wei: A noble title? Sorry, she indeed doesn't have one. Because she is the Empress Regnant of the Mist Kingdom! In the end, she abolishes the aristocratic system, establishes a new country, and becomes a deity in the hearts of countless commoners.
