Shen Qingtang was once the most distinguished legitimate daughter of the Marquis Mansion in the capital. She was well-dressed and well-fed, and her fingers never touched the spring water. An accident occurred and her family was destroyed. She became an orphan who made a living by selling calligraphy and painting. In order to revive her family, she disguised herself as a man and used her good articles to sneak into the "Yunlu Academy" that students all over the world yearned for. Good news: The academy provides food and accommodation, and has a collection of thousands of books. Bad news: She is penniless and has to hide her identity as a daughter from the eyes of all the young masters of the aristocratic family. The most terrible thing is that a bizarre murder case of imperial examination fraud recently occurred in the academy, and she has become the number one suspect. Shen Qingtang: "... Is there something wrong with this script?" In order to clear her grievances, she was forced to form an alliance with Xie Jingxing, the most difficult "genius" in the academy. Xie Jingxing: The most dandy in the capital and the most vicious tongue in the academy. I thought they disliked each other, but I didn't expect that as they continued to investigate the case, the two of them actually became the "golden partner" recognized by the academy. When the truth of the fraud case surfaced, and when the conspiracy behind the imperial examination room was revealed layer by layer, Shen Qingtang discovered that the academy's examination room was actually a miniature chess game played in the court. Shen Qingtang: Isn't it just the imperial examination? Since you have to take the exam, let them see if you get the top score! Xie Jingxing: I will help you fight for the top prize, but you will never be able to repay the meal you owe me in this lifetime. This is an inspirational story about a down-and-out noble girl who relies on her strength to get slapped in the face in the academy, who is struggling step by step on the road to the imperial examination, and who also talks about sweet love.
