[No System, no pocket dimension; farming; alternate history; modern academy education; political power struggles; romance]
A livestreamer who used to stir up trouble transmigrates to the Great Zhou Dynasty and becomes the daughter of a prominent academy family. In the old dynasty, women have low status, confined for life to the inner quarters, serving their husbands and raising children while obeying the Three Obediences and Four Virtues.
The world doesn’t belong to men alone. Women can hold up half the sky, too. Cen Jixiao refuses to accept the status quo and vows to speak up for women under a male-dominated regime.
From advocating gender equality to founding women’s academies and encouraging progressive ideas, she repels foreign enemies and quells domestic unrest. With a flick of her hand, she can turn the clouds and summon the rain; imperial power and dominion are no more than a topic for casual conversation.
Chief Grand Secretary Chen Zigui, Emperor Chai Zhen, Xia Chenghao, heir to the Western Xiang clan, Prince Xiao Tuo of Yunzhou in the Liaodan Kingdom... countless outstanding men all fall at her feet.
Cen Jixiao: “Why bother with romance? I’m focused on my career!”
Theme: Become the light and spread it.
The intention is good, but the journey is arduous. I hope I can really achieve it! 🥺
