After a rookie System got Shen Qingtang killed, she transmigrated to a world ruled by women with a “Supreme Compensation Package,” becoming the only child in three generations of the Shen family.
She thought she’d been handed the feel-good story of “passing the imperial exams and becoming a high-ranking official.” But on the road to the exams, a stunning beauty fell from the sky, trying to kill himself.
Shen Qingtang reached out to catch him out of kindness. The beauty, who had hit his head and lost his memory, clung tightly to her waist, his eyes rimmed red. “You were willing to risk your life for me, so you must be my wife, without a doubt!”
Shen Qingtang: ???
To stop this “husband” who’d landed in her lap from trying to kill himself again, Shen Qingtang was forced to sign a contract of servitude and pretend to be his wife.
At first, Shen Qingtang only wanted to comfort him quickly and part ways once he regained his memories.
But as they spent more time together, their pretend marriage became the real thing.
Later, Shen Qingtang worked her way through the imperial examinations, from the provincial exams to the palace exam, carefully advancing at every step. She wanted to give aspiring scholars from humble families a chance at a future and find a way for the people of the realm to survive.
Meanwhile, the beautiful husband she’d picked up fell in love with her after regaining his memories. From then on, they stood by each other and spent the rest of their lives together.
One day, Shen Qingtang, now appointed prime minister, suddenly came to her senses. “097! What happened to the golden finger you promised me?”
