One-line summary:
She passed out on the day of the palace selection and woke up as Jia Huan, an illegitimate son of the Duke of Rong's family, with a man kissing her. Zhen Huan: This place is even more dangerous than the imperial harem.
On the day of the palace selection, Zhen Huan's vision went black. She tried to bite her tongue to wake herself up, but the tongue she bit belonged to someone else: a man was kissing her.
She shoved him away and slipped off. Once she'd regained her composure, she realized she had become a man.
After receiving Jia Huan's memories, she was completely stunned. The original Jia Huan had already arranged to do that sort of thing with the man that day. Thank goodness she had left first, or she would have lost her rear end.
Zhen Huan: The Jia family is filthier than the imperial harem.
Everyone was waiting for Jia Huan to make a fool of himself, but she went on to pass the county-level and provincial exams, become a successful candidate in the imperial examinations, and earn the jinshi degree, making her an official personally selected by the emperor. While the Jia family was still scheming over the dirty secrets of the inner household, Jia Huan was already standing in the imperial court, watching coldly as they teetered on the brink of ruin.
