The Fake Heiress Opens a School, and Her Students Become Powerful Officials

[While everyone else battles for favor, I build a career #I Accidentally Became the Tutor to the Entire Court #Your Majesty, Don't Panic, Finish Your Homework Before Court] Jiang Yuwei, the daughter of the Minister of Rites, wakes up to find herself cast out as an impostor. The real heiress gloats at her. “Just wait until I take the throne as empress. You'll rot away in some mountain ditch!” Jiang Yuwei calmly dusts off her sleeves. “Court intrigue? Think bigger. I'm going to overhaul the imperial examinations.” Everyone thinks she's lost her mind. A woman wants to earn an official title? That's a crime punishable by beheading! But Jiang Yuwei searches through the laws and her eyes light up. “Women aren't allowed to take the exams? Fine. I can still be a star tutor, can't I?” And that's when things start going off the rails. Her brother, once dismissed as a blockhead, becomes a prodigy who takes top honors in all three rounds of the exams after her tutoring. A boy from next door who used to herd cattle gets coached by her and goes on to become the top scholar. Even a poor village that hadn't produced a single successful candidate in years is nurtured into a “model village for the imperial exams.” Her book, The Five-Year Imperial Exam Plan: Three Years of Practice Tests, becomes a nationwide sensation and an essential handbook for every candidate. The people who once mocked her are left dumbfounded. This woman isn't building a harem, she's building a nationwide chain of academies! Then one day at a palace banquet, the real heiress is beaten and bloodied in her pursuit of favor, while Jiang Yuwei is surrounded by the entire court. The Minister of Rites, the Chief Censor, and the newly crowned top scholar all bow to her in unison. Even the young emperor hastily offers her a seat. “Teacher Jiang, please sit. Your students get nervous when you stand!” The real heiress is stunned. Jiang Yuwei lifts her teacup and turns to the emperor. “Your Majesty, when will you give me a definite answer about appointing me as the Crown Prince's tutor?”
