Lin Xiaoshu, a farmer's daughter, married Song Jin without a matchmaker or betrothal gifts. He abandoned her, and she became the neighborhood's laughingstock.
Before they parted, he told her, “Go to Yingtian and wait for me.” She waited for two years.
When they met again on the main street, Song Jin stood beside his well-matched wife.
His words, “I don't know her,” crushed Lin Xiaoshu's last remaining hope. His wife, born into a wealthy and powerful family, came over to taunt her.
Hah! Did they really think she was some lowborn wretch born to a prostitute, someone they could bully as they pleased?
She learned that the little punk who clung to her every day was Song Jin's beloved nephew, more precious to him than his own life, and she threw herself into the plan without hesitation.
Right under Song Jin's nose, she led the young punk into losing both his innocence and his heart. Song Jin grew so jealous he became utterly hateful, then lost all reason and pulled her into his arms, forgetting that he was a married man.
“Xiaoshu, let's elope?”
You bastard. Get lost.
Lin Xiaoshu kicked the scumbag away, cut ties with love, and devoted herself to the civil service exams. She became Yingtian's second-ever female top graduate.
Straightening her official hat, she strode into the halls of government, ready to stir up a storm in a court where this man held half the power. But someone grabbed her around the leg.
“Top Graduate, your husband will get you a chancellorship. Won't you stay by my side?”
Lin Xiaoshu looked down at the man in imperial robes and smiled seductively.
“Your Majesty, why not give me a child? Tying me down with a baby would be more reliable.”
“Then I'll give you one, or ten! Your husband will do it!”
