Two Female Leads + Alternate History + System + Imperial Examinations + Lighthearted.
A wise ruler vs. a renowned minister
The protagonist has always been a woman. She does not need to disguise herself as a man. Why can't a renowned minister simply be a woman?
In the fourth year of Yong'an, nineteen-year-old Shen Qingci bonded with the Legendary Ministers of the Ages System and awakened memories of modern life.
A poetry gathering made her famous for a single poem, and disaster relief sent her soaring to prominence... Her literary talent could bring peace to the land, and her military prowess could secure the realm.
So what if she was a woman?
She ascended the throne at nineteen and ruled the world as a woman. Who said women were inferior to men? She would be the first to open the imperial examinations to women. The world was full of talented people. Why should they be limited by their gender?
At first, she saw Shen Qingci as merely "a talent who could be put to use," but as they stood side by side time and again, she discovered that this person understood her loneliness.
Traveling companions were rare; a soulmate was rarer still.
The two were teacher and student, friends, and spouses.
They shared dreams at night and dressed together at dawn; their reflections in the mirror showed two radiant faces blooming side by side. They walked and sang together, step by step, within their private chambers, just as spouses should. From this life onward, they would rely on each other forever, taking turns to be the phoenix, and sharing their bed in harmony.
Super good! This book is substantial and engaging. I especially enjoyed the opening sections on strategy and policy, which were thought-provoking. I read ancient Chinese novels to enjoy the feel of the past, to connect with the lives of ancient people, and to understand the thoughts of sages.
Hehe, I'll give myself five stars!
You can see that although there's a cheat code involved, it's something our Lord Shen deserves.
This book is so calming to read; the author's writing is excellent, demonstrating a deep understanding of the imperial examination system, and the policy essays are very well written. The female protagonist not only studies for the imperial examinations but also gradually integrates the knowledge from the books with reality, combining policy with the people, step by step becoming a renowned minister.
The writing is superb; it's a pleasure to read.
It's quite pretty, and we like it together.
So far, the content is well-written; at least it doesn't make me feel frustrated or annoyed while reading.
A different female lead, a different system, it's good.
It's good; you can read it as a lighthearted, enjoyable read.
It's great! Author, please add an extra chapter!
