Ling Junyao was born the daughter of a merchant family in the capital. At twenty, she passed the imperial examinations with top honors. Clad in red and riding through the long streets, she became the dynasty’s first female top scholar from a merchant background. Women in red filled the taverns, and countless dazzled eyes turned toward the peerless beauty on her fine horse.
From then on, every step was fraught with danger. From the Hanlin Academy to the Six Ministries, and eventually to noble rank and high office, she brought the ways of commerce into government, ruled with an iron hand while governing with benevolence, supported the young emperor, quelled rebellions, reformed the Grand Canal transport system, and overhauled the salt tax, climbing step by step to the pinnacle of power.
Female-dominated society · multiple male leads · strong heroine and weaker male leads · all characters are chaste · slow-burn plot
No transmigration, no rebirth. The heroine and male leads are ordinary people born and raised in a female-dominated society. There is no struggle for gender equality.
It's very interesting. I haven't seen this type of female portrait in a long time🥰🥰
Nice. Update quickly
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, the plot is still online and the characters are relatively distinct.
