Back in Ancient Times, I Disguise Myself as a Man and Work My Way to the Top to Become the Top Scholar

[Historical woman disguised as a man, imperial examinations, strong female lead, no romance, heroine stops at nothing]

[Feng Muyun worked at a bank in the modern era. After quitting without a new job lined up and failing the civil service exams several times, she went on a trip and accidentally died, then ended up in ancient times.]

In the modern world, Feng Muyun was a bank teller who quit without another job lined up. After failing the civil service exams several times, she went out to clear her head and accidentally died of sudden cardiac arrest, landing in ancient times.

The ancient Feng Muyun had a magical treasure given to her by a Taoist priest that could conceal her sex. Even her mother didn't know she was a girl.

Her father, whom she had never met, died on the road during an inspection tour. Her widowed mother and the rest of the Feng family were driven out of the capital by her father's enemies, and then her fiancee broke off their engagement. The original Feng Muyun couldn't take it and died.

When Feng Muyun woke up, she found there was good news and bad news. The good news was that she was a man. The bad news was that she was a fake man!

With her father dead, her mother frail, and her beautiful older sister being coveted by others, she was in despair.

But someone had also seized their ancestral home. Although the clan leader helped her win it back, that was only because of her male identity. If her true identity ever came to light, the house would be taken away again.

With no other choice, Feng Muyun, who had been content to laze around, had to work hard and compete.

Wasn't studying just reading? She was best at that. Wasn't competing about outworking everyone else? Who could outwork her? Everyone, move aside. She was going to crush these ancients with hard work.

As for the men and women she encountered along the way, they could only serve as stepping-stones on her way up!

She would work hard, become the greatest scholar, gain supreme power, then return to women's clothing and become a powerful female official! She would tell the whole world that she was a woman!
