[Farming + A Woman's Journey Through the Imperial Examinations] The moment she closed her eyes on the operating table, Zhang Hening transmigrated into the body of an inconspicuous little girl in a rural family that favored boys over girls.
Her grandparents dote on their eldest grandson and youngest son; her eldest uncle and aunt expect their sons to become dragons and their daughters to become phoenixes; and her lazy, miserly third uncle and aunt drive her up the wall!
But the person who makes her stomp around in anger every single day is her childhood friend Lin Ye, who lives in a grand mansion with a roof of green tiles.
He composes poetry in his family courtyard while she learns to read in a muddy ditch; he counts gold and silver treasures in a secret chamber while she counts the few pieces of silver in her purse; he casually takes the imperial examinations and becomes the top scholar with a few strokes of his brush, while she works diligently for ten years before finally earning a post in the government...
Their paths and temperaments could hardly be more different, yet they ultimately reach the same destination by different roads.
Years later, he asks her tenderly, “Why did you push yourself so hard back then?”
She smiles.
She had nothing, except a steadfast and courageous heart.
Only by fearlessly facing the rough, thorny road beneath her feet could she stand at the very top after braving the storm.
At your side.
