In her previous life, she was the legitimate daughter of the Hou family, but she became a stepping stone in the relationship between the male and female protagonists. She was plotted by the hypocritical stepsister Bai Lianhua, and was betrayed by her childhood sweetheart, the Number One Scholar. In the end, the family was overthrown, and she died tragically in prison. Once she was reborn, she returned to the eve of the wedding ceremony. At that time, the conspiracy had not been revealed and the disaster had not yet occurred. In this life, she no longer clings to the love between her children, and vows to reverse the fate of her family, relying on her past life memories and extraordinary resourcefulness to break into officialdom and solve puzzles. She gave up the small pattern of internal fighting and took advantage of her father's influence to join the Imperial College's Archives Office. She started from the bottom as a clerk, checked files, uncovered corruption, solved unjust cases, and worked her way up step by step. Faced with the strife of factions in the court, she used every move to make a fool of herself; when faced with an enemy from the past, she slapped her in the face, ruining her stepsister's reputation and making her ex-fiancé regret it. Without the blessing of a golden finger, only a calm mind and a tough heart, she fought her way through the male-dominated officialdom as a woman, from clerk to chief executive, from doctor to censor, and then to a powerful official in the frontier, stepping on thorns and honors at every step. Above the court, she is the iron-faced official who makes corrupt officials frightened; within the family, she is the backbone of the clan who protects her relatives. Occasionally, the cold-faced prince who had nothing to do with her in her previous life kept stopping for her. Is he an enemy or a friend? Is it calamity or fate? Shen Qingci only knows that in this life, she will hold the power and control her own destiny, and make everyone who has bullied her pay the price they deserve! }
