Synopsis

[Woman Disguised as a Man + No Romance + System + Imperial Exams and Political Maneuvering + Building a Strong Nation]

Xie Yichu is born into an ancient world, retaining her modern memories and accompanied by the “Imperial Exam God System.” Her grandfather, convinced that the God of Literature appeared to him in a dream, raises her as a boy from birth.

She is driven by her determination to “have a page of her own in the family genealogy” and her ideal of “peace and prosperity for all.”

From then on, she tears through the imperial exams!

County, prefectural, and academy exams... She earns six consecutive top honors, astonishing the whole world!

Once she enters government, she pursues bold reforms. With the “Single Whip Law,” she surveys farmland and fills the national treasury. With the “Performance Evaluation Law,” she cleans up officialdom and appoints talent based on merit.

At the height of her influence, she personally adds a page to the family genealogy, bringing glory to her family.

Once she has achieved success and brought peace to the land, she retires from the pinnacle of power, withdrawing to an academy to write books and teach generations of students.

Later histories record: Wenqu Duke Xie Yichu never married in her lifetime. Her heart belonged only to the nation. There has never been another like her.

[Reading Guide]

Career-focused, no romance throughout: The heroine cares only about her country and its people. All her relationships are those between ruler and subject, teacher and student, or allies.

System assistance, woman disguised as a man: The System provides skills and a perfect disguise, resolving the identity crisis at its source.

Satisfying power progression: From prodigy at the imperial exams to the era's top chancellor, she dominates through sheer ability.
