The Tale of Xie Mingli, the Female Top Scholar

【No CP + No Golden Finger + Strong Female Lead + Daughter of a Refined Aristocratic Family + Exceptional Talent】 "Smack!" A slap from her father and a humiliating marriage contract from the Su family were the "coming-of-age gifts" Xie Mingli received on her fourteenth birthday. Imprisoned in the inner quarters, she was ordered to forget everything she had learned and return to being the gentle, demure jewel of the Xie family. Yet in the darkness, unexpected glimmers of light began to illuminate her path. An invitation to a poetry gathering from her close friend Gu Qingyi: "The Gu family of Jinling cannot openly support us for now, but our poetry society will continue to meet and recite together."

Wang Jingshu, the fiercely spirited daughter of a military family, placed under house arrest, sent over a copy of The Three Strategies in the dead of night: "Though my body is confined, my aspirations reach a thousand miles. I hope you will take care, Teacher!" Her battle map was a landscape of a thousand miles spread across an embroidery frame. Before his death, her grandfather entrusted her with the notes containing his life's work: "Mingli, go and help the women of the world... This is the true legacy of the Xie family's scholarship!" She now bore the weight of the family's true backbone. Faced with her father's coldness, attacks from court officials, and the emperor's suspicion, Xie Mingli was no longer alone. She used poetry gatherings as cover to analyze the political climate, turned her embroidery frame into a war table, and wielded her grandfather's strategies like a sword aimed straight at the flaws in the imperial examination system! When her memorial, "A Proposal to Widen the Path to Talent," shook the realm and made her the first "female top scholar" in history, everyone finally realized that this seemingly delicate young lady of the inner chambers had long been silently laying an earth-shattering plan for herself and all the women of the realm! And this is only the beginning. The moment she enters the court, she discovers that the real storm has only just begun...
