Lin Zhiyu had spent three years striving to pass the civil service exam. In her fourth year, just as she was preparing to try again, she kicked the bucket after staying up night after night memorizing questions...
When she opened her eyes again, she had transmigrated. Other people transmigrated into lives of wealth and privilege, but she had become an ordinary farm girl!
She accepted her lot. She thought that, at last, she wouldn’t have to study for exams anymore. She had never been particularly ambitious, and swore that in this life she would be a happy, carefree slacker.
But fate had other ideas. Her father was determined to pass the ancient civil service exams at all costs, because she was his only child and he had no son.
By the time she transmigrated, she had already been disguised as a boy for years...
Being a man was exhausting enough, and now he wanted her to take the exams and become the top scorer.
The crime of deceiving the emperor is punishable by death. Don’t bully me just because I’m uneducated!
But with no other choice, she was forced back onto the path of taking the civil service exams for one reason after another... Her dream of becoming a slacker was shattered.
She hadn’t expected much, but somehow she not only made it into the imperial examinations, she also advanced all the way to the palace examination.
But why does this emperor seem so familiar?
