Song Qinghe died at the bottom of a freezing pond, all because she delivered a divorce petition to a noblewoman suffering domestic abuse.
When she opens her eyes again, she has returned to the year Dayong established its Marriage Bureau, where women are allowed to serve in government and solve cases.
The moment her fingertips touch a marriage contract, she can uncover every hidden truth about domestic abuse, marriage fraud, and the embezzlement of a woman’s dowry!
A wife-beating scoundrel? Straight to prison! A widow forced to join her husband in death? Charge it as murder! A woman’s dowry stolen? Recover every last coin and award double in compensation!
From a female investigator mocked by everyone, she rises to become the Marriage Bureau’s chief, exposes the mastermind behind her mother’s death, and smashes the Confucian restraints that have bound women for a thousand years.
The officials at court call her a rebel against tradition. Only Pei Jing, junior minister of the Court of Judicial Review, stands by her with his sword: “You give the women of this realm shelter. I’ll shield you from every storm.”
In this world, I will carve out a dignified way forward for every woman who has been wronged!
