Wu Xingran, the junior disciple of Qingxuan Temple, had only one goal in life:
Pass the civil service exam → inherit an estate → lie flat in peace.
After four grueling years, she ranked first in both the written and interview rounds.
Then a single assignment sent her straight to Hangzhou for a medical checkup and a background investigation. (This is just for the story, so please don't compare it to real life. Thanks!)
Her master was frantic, and her senior brothers blocked her way as a group:
"Don't go! You can't go there!"
Wu Xingran burst into tears, feeling wronged:
All I want is a job where I can slack off. What did I do wrong?
She didn't know...
Hangzhou was her biological father Wu Erbai's territory,
and the fate of the Jiumen Clan she'd tried so hard to avoid was waiting for her to walk right into its trap.
Heroine: I just want to lie flat in peace.
Master: Hurry and keep her true identity secret!
Wu Erbai: My daughter? I have a daughter!?

It's too deliberate, really.
Nitpicking
The female protagonist seems to say she doesn't cause trouble but ends up doing things that provoke others. It's a bit incongruous. True stability is just like coming to Hangzhou and locking yourself in; it's strange that she goes out for a stroll.
Just say you're not going and want to take the civil service exam, instead of making up so many excuses.
