Shen Tingxue, a handyman at White Deer Academy, is an orphan girl from a poor family who is as humble as mud in the eyes of the children of the aristocratic family.
No one knew that this woman, who spent the day chopping wood and lighting fires, would borrow a solitary lamp late at night and read through the classics, history, names of punishments, and calculate all the chess games in the world.
In a murder case, she solved the problem with one word and knocked on the door of Yushitai. From then on, Dajing's court ushered in earth-shaking changes.
With her humble life, she broke the century-old monopoly of aristocratic families, cut off corruption, redressed injustices, and made all officials fearful with her unselfish face.
The sinister prince Li Xuandu recognized her amazing talent and formed an alliance as equals, promising her, "I will guard the court for you, and you will bring peace to the world."
On the day when the purple robe was added to her body, she stood on the top of the Tai Chi Hall, overlooking the civil and military forces of the dynasty.
Who says women can't serve as ministers? Who says that a humble family cannot be in charge of the world?
She wanted to use her body as a woman to make great achievements, to open up a way for poor families, and to seek happiness for the people.
She wants to rule this world with her confidant, and she wants to decide this country with her own hands.
