I Turned the Tables on Household Warfare by Taking the Civil Service Exam

Wen Hening, a dual PhD in law and psychology, transmigrates into a household-intrigue novel as a cannon-fodder concubine-born daughter.

When the sinister crown prince comes looking for trouble, she uses microexpression psychology to expose his childhood trauma on the spot.

The crown prince is rattled, the emperor is delighted, and an imperial decree sends her straight to the Eastern Palace: “Crown Prince, this is your new tutor.”

The entire court bets she won’t survive three days.

Instead, the crown prince starts attending lessons on time, doing his homework obediently, and learning to control his temper.

The court officials are stunned: Is this really the same crown prince who used to kill without mercy?

Later, the crown prince ascends the throne. His first imperial decree isn’t a general amnesty, but: “I want to marry Tutor Wen.”

Wen Hening refuses three times: She won’t become empress, enter the imperial harem, or get involved romantically.

The new emperor pouts: “Then what if I stop being emperor and become your live-in son-in-law instead?”
