Overworked office drone Lin Zhao suddenly dies.
She wakes up as a frail young woman from a poor family with nothing but four bare walls.
The good news: she’s bound to a “Life Simulator” System that lets her start over endlessly.
The bad news: her mother wants her to disguise herself as a man and take the imperial examinations. If she’s found out, it means execution.
And so
In her first life, she can’t afford lamp oil and freezes to death on the street.
In her second, she backs the wrong person and gets beheaded.
In her third, she studies medicine to save herself, but her identity is exposed and she dies again.
By her sixty-seventh life, she finally passes the exams and becomes the top scholar.
Lin Zhao thinks this life will be nothing but the usual routine of getting promoted and rich.
But the steely chief minister, whose power rules the court, starts looking at her in a very strange way.
One day, at the hot springs.
Shen Huaixu sees the figure with dark hair and pale skin, then falls silent for three days.
Three days later, he receives a document titled “Several Suggestions for Improving Water Conservancy Projects in the Capital Region.”
“Chief Minister Shen, is there a problem with this section?”
Shen Huaixu: ...
Wait, don’t you have anything you want to explain???
Later, Lin Zhao climbs higher and higher in office, and more and more people at court want her dead.
Meanwhile, Chief Minister Shen, who should have been the story’s main villain, openly bows his head for her in court.
“Grand Academician Lin’s business is my business.”
The officials: ???
What exactly is going on between you two???
Lin Zhao: “We’re colleagues.”
Shen Huaixu, in a low voice: “Are you sure?”
The whole text of this book is light and contains many things, but it is not very in-depth. After reading it in one go, it felt very comfortable, like a dream. It's just that the ending was too hasty.
