She disguised herself as a man, took the imperial examination, and entered the court. She originally wanted to make a living for the people, but she stepped into the conspiracy of the remnants of the previous dynasty to restore the country.
Jiang Tingwan, a name that should have been buried in a boudoir, has become the most mysterious "young minister" in the new dynasty. The green jade pendant on the waist hides the secret that the former imperial tutor guarded for half his life; the strategies he wrote to help the world can't be described as a woman standing on thin ice in the court.
Sitting on the dragon throne, the young emperor Wei Sijing's eyes were as bright as fire, and he seemed to be able to see through all her disguises.
In the shadows, the former prince Murong Zhao came back from the dead and laid a bloody dark web for the restoration of the country.
And beside her are Ji Muhuai, who hides his sword in his smile and is in charge of the prison, and Shangguanfu, who is honest and upright and proficient in investigating things. A group of partners who initially gathered because of their ideals were eventually involved in the whirlpool that swept the world.
From the mysterious cases in the imperial examination to the murder of court officials, from the mysterious shadows in the Western Regions to the secrets of the palace... When the truth is torn apart, she must make a choice between the crime of deceiving the emperor and the overthrow of the world.
This is a lonely and courageous path for a woman to become an official and use her talent and learning to split the chaos. It is also a life and death chess game to protect the peace of the new dynasty and face the ghosts of the past.
Let's see how she stands on top of the world as a woman, not only strives for a name in history for herself, but also shines a light of dawn for women in the world.
