An ordinary modern woman transmigrates into a world where women outrank men, becoming the legitimate second daughter of a modest official’s family. With no golden finger or powerful connections, she studies hard and takes the imperial examinations, earning a second-class degree through her own talent. All she wants is to be a conscientious minor official.
But then the princesses fight for power, throwing the court and the country into turmoil.
She keeps a low profile and minds her own business, refusing to take sides or seek the limelight. She lies low with the crowd to avoid disaster. Through the ups and downs of a chaotic age, she has no desire to fight for power. All she wants is to keep her family safe and spend the rest of her life together in peace.
Not a wish-fulfillment story. One-on-one romance, no sweeping slaughter, just everyday life.
