You Were Hired as a Study Companion, Yet You Helped the Young Miss Win the Imperial Exam

[Historical Fantasy + Literary Plagiarism Comeback + Behind-the-Scenes Female Lead + Family Bonds and Escape from Poverty + A Pretty Fool’s Mouthpiece]

Gu Qingluan, a Chinese literature PhD in her past life, transmigrated into the body of a nine-year-old peasant girl in Qinghe Village who was on the verge of starving to death.

Her family had nothing, her father and uncles were rigid traditionalists, and the whole family was nearly reduced to eating tree bark.

To get her mother and little sister hot rice with lard, she set her sights on Xue Baozhu, the dim-witted daughter of the richest family in town.

“Miss, would you like me to write you a love poem? Two taels of silver each, guaranteed to leave the top graduate swooning!”

Xue Baozhu was hopeless but enthusiastic. She paraded her way around with peerless masterpieces and somehow became Qinghe’s top female talent!

From then on, the pretty fool trembled onstage while pretending to be a gifted poet, while Gu Qingluan counted banknotes backstage and made sure her family ate meat at every meal.

Then, at the Mid-Autumn gathering at the Wenchang Pavilion, Xue Baozhu recited “Prelude to Water Melody” and so stunned a retired female tutor to the former dynasty that she flipped the chessboard on the spot.

When a century-old academy from a neighboring county arrived to challenge them with an antithetical couplet, Gu Qingluan casually answered with three flawless lines, leaving every renowned scholar present bowing in admiration and begging her to come out of seclusion!

Only then did the officials throughout the court realize:

Behind the famous and brilliant daughter of the richest family in the land, there was a nine-year-old servant girl from a humble household who could command the world with her writing?!
