She is the most inconspicuous concubine in the Shen family. She is used by her aunt as a bargaining chip for five thousand taels of silver and is about to be married to a half-centenarian to fill her house.
No one knows that inside this fragile body lives a soul that sees through the world.
That night, she stole her late brother's identity and walked out of Shen's mansion through the front door.
Three years later, there was an official named "Shen Zhijian" in the court.
He passed the imperial examination even though he came from a poor family, used his insight into human nature to solve the shortcomings of water transportation, and stirred up the chaos in the court with his single-handed "strengthening".
He made corrupt officials frightened by the news and made the powerful gnash their teeth with hatred, but they couldn't catch him at all.
The emperor said: This man is too smart, I am a little worried.
The powerful minister said: This person cannot be kept, but whoever touches him will die first.
And only she knows that her biggest secret is hidden under her official uniform.
This is the story of a concubine who defies fate and changes her destiny.
There is no love between children, only step by step.
In fifteen years, she became the most untouchable person in the entire dynasty.
