Who says women can't make decisions? Xiao Qingyan, the daughter of the guilty minister, used the name "Shen Yan" in men's clothing to fight her way through the male-dominated court!
In the third year of Da Yao Jinghe, the Xiao family was falsely accused by King Jing and executed. Xiao Qingyan fled alone, vowing to make his enemies pay with blood. She disguised herself as a man and entered the Imperial Academy. With her outstanding talent and intelligence, she overwhelmed the children of the aristocratic family. She was favored by the imperial censor and accepted as his disciple, and she rose to prominence ever since. Above the court, she used her pen as a sword to impeach traitors and repeatedly solve strange cases; in the dark night, she contacted her old subordinates and planned revenge, and she maneuvered freely in the three-way game between the Tutor, the General, and the Queen Mother.
Her daughter's body is her biggest weakness and also her sharpest weapon. She was once in danger because her identity was almost exposed, and she was hated by others because she was too sharp; she cherished the friendship of an upright young man, but they were so far away from each other because of the gender gap; she held the blade of revenge, but after witnessing the suffering of the people, she developed the original intention to protect her family and country.
From being an orphan in the Imperial Academy to becoming a powerful imperial censor, from being obsessed with revenge to caring about the world, Xiao Qingyan, as a woman, broke the iron law that "women are not allowed to enter the officialdom" and rose against the odds in the turbulent court. When the truth is revealed and the injustice is revealed, she stands at the pinnacle of power and will finally make a choice: settle her grudges in a corner, or take power and rewrite the fate of the dynasty?
