Daye four years, the twelfth lunar month. Sixteen-year-old Shen Yuan witnessed her home being ransacked and her father Shen Huaijin being imprisoned for "collaborating with the enemy and treason." Her mother put her into the body cart and left her last words: "From now on, you are the only male in the Shen family."
In order to overturn her father's case, Shen Yuan cut off her long hair, buried her skirt, and took the imperial examination as the "orphan" of the Shen family. After studying hard for three years, she went all the way from Yayuan in Qingzhou to Huiyuan in the capital. Finally, she passed the Golden Palace and passed the first place, becoming the youngest number one scholar in Daliang since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
From writing in the Imperial Academy to reading at the Wenyuan Pavilion, from being sent to Beiyan as an envoy to becoming the prime minister in the cabinet - she stood at the center of power, stepping on the tightrope, and getting closer to the truth of the unjust case that year step by step. And behind her, the emperor's gaze, the enemies' blades, the calculations of her colleagues, and the secret that could swallow everything up at any time - all stared at her in the darkness.
She will become the youngest prime minister of Daliang, stand at the pinnacle of power, and see the world
