My Family Was Confiscated from the Start, So I Force a Banished Immortal to Marry Me and Join My Rebellion!

[Political Intrigue + Strong Female Lead + Ancient Court + Turning the Tables Against All Odds]

Shen Zhiyun lifts the chin of the cool, otherworldly eldest son of the Prime Minister's residence with her fan.

"How about I offer you a marriage proposal in the form of a poem and take you as my live-in husband?"

A modern woman with a doctorate transmigrates into the body of a "useless legitimate daughter," and from the start, her entire clan is in danger!

In the middle of the night, the eldest son of the Shen family is dragged away by the Court of Judicial Review. The evidence in the bribery case is so complete, it looks like a script written in advance.

Shen Zhiyun picks up the memorials of impeachment scattered across the floor. She reads a couple of pages and laughs.

They've gone to so much trouble setting this up, they might as well have slapped a sign on her brother's forehead saying, "Come arrest me!"

The entire court is waiting to see the Shen family fall. Her father forces her to marry into a poor family to save her life, but Shen Zhiyun strides into a poetry gathering at the Prime Minister's residence, her family's sworn enemy, and takes a seat in red!

A military commander's daughter points at her and scolds:

"If you're going to climb the social ladder, at least pick the right place!"

Faced with a scheming green tea and pressure from civil officials, she recites a timeless masterpiece that shatters the hearts of the upright scholars on the spot!

She says nothing and writes a poem titled "Breaking the Formation."

Four elderly scholars bow to her on the spot, and the whole garden falls silent.

Xie Mingwei refuses to accept it.

"Who's to say you didn't get someone else to write it for you?"

She writes three more, each more ruthless than the last. When she's done, she turns and leaves without even claiming the prize.

Behind her, Xie Jinglan, the playboy young lord whom all of the capital treats as a joke, sets down the wine flask he never lets out of his hand and stands up straight.

Others hear good poems. He hears the military weaknesses of Great Sheng's four frontiers hidden in the verses, along with a clear signal of alliance directed right at him.

"Miss Shen, please wait."

Shen Zhiyun stops at the threshold of the moon gate, unable to suppress the curve of her lips.
