As "Su Yan", Su Qingyan assisted Xie Heng in implementing the New Deal in Yunzhou by relying on the "primary insight (knowing people)", "law proficiency" and other skills given by the system, as well as modern knowledge. They established fair official assessments, built water conservancy projects, and promoted new agricultural tools, turning Yunzhou from a wasteland waiting to be renovated into a benchmark for the New Deal. The results of their cooperation became the focus of criticism in the court and pushed them into the center of the storm. As the mission progressed, Su Qingyan unlocked more system abilities (such as "limited foresight" and "public opinion guidance"), and her status rose. She moved from behind the scenes to the front, and finally made a stunning appearance as a woman in the palace examination. She shocked the world with her article "New Strategies for the Rule of Law", but was also completely exposed. The emperor was amazed at his talent, but also feared his marriage with Xie Heng, and was further restrained by the pressure of the conservative faction.
