You Laugh at Me for Being a Blacksmith? I'll Give the Empress an Iron Throne!

After transmigrating three years ago, Shen Yanxiu was personally selected by the Empress as the top scorer in the palace examinations and named Number One Scholar.

But Empress Dowager Mu led the opposition and exposed his identity as a blacksmith.

The officials: We thought he came from a distinguished family, but it turns out his family forges iron.

Empress Dowager Mu: Shen Yanxiu, you're a mere blacksmith. You're not worthy of the title of Number One Scholar.

Faced with everyone's jeers, Shen Yanxiu stayed perfectly calm and presented the Empress with an iron throne.

Shen Yanxiu: Your Majesty, the old dragon throne is too cramped. Try this new imperial throne.

Seated upon the imposing iron throne, the Empress looked down at the assembled officials. "My ministers, you may kneel now."

Standing at the Empress's side, Shen Yanxiu smiled at Empress Dowager Mu. "Your Highness, please lead the way in paying respect to Her Majesty!"
