From the Start, I Was an Unacknowledged Daughter, Yet I Became a Literary Master in Ancient Times

Modern office worker Su Qingyuan opens her eyes after working all night and finds she has transmigrated into the body of the illegitimate daughter of Su Wenxuan, a fifth-rank magistrate in the Great Yin dynasty. Her life is hell from the start: her mother died young, she has no recognized status, her father ignores her, and her stepmother and stepsister see her as a thorn in their side. Living under someone else’s roof is like walking on thin ice. One wrong move could get her thrown out, or even killed.

Faced with such a disastrous start, Su Qingyuan decides she will no longer let others walk all over her. Using her modern knowledge, she carefully plots her moves, navigating the inner household, unmasking false virtue, and searching for a way to survive. From struggling to stay alive in the cracks to making her mark, she must not only secure a legitimate identity for herself, but also live as her true self in a rigidly stratified ancient society. See how an illegitimate daughter turns the tables against all odds and rewrites her fate!
