After binding to the “System of the Three Obediences and Four Virtues, Model Woman for the Ages,” Jiang Yan flips the table, sending her defiance score through the roof!
The System insists she obey the rules of propriety and meekly accept her fate? Sorry, but she'd rather defy destiny and break every shackle!
In her first life, she is a young girl from a scholarly family. When they try to bind her feet in the name of love, she would rather break both feet than betray her convictions. With fierce resolve, she tears apart the feudal shackle of “a woman must obey her father before marriage.”
In her second life, she is the legitimate daughter of the Su family, married to a top scholar and trapped under her husband's authority. She uses her talents to leave him utterly outmatched. Her words, “Establish a heart for heaven and earth, a life for the people, the lost teachings of past sages, and peace for all generations to come,” resound throughout the court. With her noble spirit, she proves that women are every bit as capable as men.
In her third life, she is trapped in a desperate situation, kidnapped and sold to a circus, where she is made to perform as the Bearskin Girl. Even in despair, she gathers her strength, breaks free of cruel rules, and escapes the cage of fate.
In her fourth life, amid the flames of war in Republican-era China, she is trapped by the absurd rule that “a married woman must obey her son.” She personally executes her traitorous, rebellious son, sheds the weakness expected of a sheltered young lady, and resolutely joins the resistance against Japan. Amid the chaos, she protects her family and country and stays true to herself, becoming the brightest light in a troubled age.
The shackles of feudal propriety cannot restrain her proud spirit, and the System's punishments cannot crush her resolve.
In every life she transmigrates into, she flips the table. Jiang Yan vows to break every unjust rule and live as her true self!
Strong female lead, no romance
