A sudden turmoil arises in the Chu Dynasty. A women's imperial examination disrupts the chess game in the court, and there is a shocking conspiracy behind it!
Su Jinli was originally a woman with amazing talents in a deep boudoir, but due to the mysterious death of her uncle, the gears of her fate suddenly turned. In order to find out the truth, she disguised herself as a man and entered the imperial examination room as "Su Wenyuan". In the examination room, the test papers were changed, and life and death were on the line, but she fought back with her astonishing arithmetic talent, and her edge first emerged. Above the Golden Palace, a discussion about the "crossbow range" attracted everyone's attention, and even attracted the attention of Zhao Yuande, the minister of the Ministry of War. Little did they know that this gentle and sinister minister was actually an orphan of the previous dynasty who had a plan to restore the country.
After joining the Ministry of War, difficulties ensued one after another. However, the abandoned warehouse contained the fragments of the "Divine Machine Crossbow" of the previous dynasty, which became the key to her breakthrough. Improving saddles and exposing corruption, Su Jinli struggled to move forward in the power whirlpool of innovation and conservatism. Black powder exploded, and spies from the Ministry of Industry appeared; the Mobei envoy came to visit with evil intentions. While exploring the weapons workshop at night, Su Jinli accidentally discovered Zhao Yuande's true identity, and her emotions and mission collided fiercely.
However, a bigger crisis quietly came. Ordnance blueprints flowed into the black market. Tuoba Lie discovered her daughter's identity, and her life and death hung on a thread. See how Su Jinli relied on hard-core ordnance technology to blow up Turkic warships with magnetic mines and stand out in the power reshuffle?
As the Mobei Allied Forces press the border, can Su Jinli lead the "Perak Camp" to turn the tide? What kind of shocking secret will the clues about the imperial seal in the uncle's handbook lead to? Where will her relationship with Zhao Yuande go?
