Shen Zhao has been a mute in the Shen family for seventeen years.
It's not that she can't speak, it's her aunt who doesn't let her speak.
When he was six years old, he said "I want to study" and was imprisoned in the ancestral hall and knelt all night. After seventeen years, she never said a word.
Until her aunt betrothed her to a fifty-seven-year-old salt merchant as the seventh concubine.
She burned her wedding dress, disguised herself as a man, and fled to White Deer Academy overnight.
The laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty are clearly written: women who take the imperial examination will be punished by a staff of eighty, and they will be exiled for three thousand miles.
She doesn't care.
After being admitted to the academy, she wrote policy papers criticizing the monopoly of salt and iron. One article pinned the children of aristocratic families to their chairs and made them unable to move.
When she was released as a county magistrate, she slapped the table in front of the court with her corruption ledger, and the faces of the people behind her were darker than the bottom of the pot.
After entering the capital as an official, she engaged in verbal battles with hundreds of officials in the Golden Palace, quoting scriptures and refuting them point by point - a woman who shocked the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty speechless.
The day her identity was revealed, everyone was waiting to see what would happen to her.
Zhou Yan smiled. The eldest son of Hou Dang, a student at the Hanlin Academy, is as gentle as jade and has a mind as sharp as a knife. The Zhou family was the only one who framed the entire Shen family.
He said: Shen Zhao, what are you using to reverse the verdict?
Shen Zhao also smiled.
She photographed the irrefutable evidence of the Shen family's injustice on the gold brick.
——I'll take the heads of your Zhou family.
No CP. No love. Not by men. No explanation.
A crazy woman who is sober to the core relies on her brains, the law, and the risk of her life to kill herself from a concubine to the Golden Palace, from overturning the case to changing the rules.
