   Are you tired of the old saying that you have a halo and you will be surrounded by noble people as soon as you travel through time? Let's take a look at this different time-travel article "Time-Travel Peasant Girl: I Amazed the Dajing Court with My English". A modern British college worker wakes up and becomes a lower-class peasant girl in Dajing. The family of origin favors sons over daughters. The younger sister is neglected, the younger brother is praised to the heavens, and the original owner is beaten and criticized all year round. ⚠️Key points: There is no system, no ancestral jade pendant, and no prince to protect you at first sight! The heroine only has the English she has learned in her head. Coinciding with the visit of foreign missions, the court fell into a translation crisis. She seized this only opportunity, but knowing a foreign language was not enough to achieve success in one fell swoop. Rumors in the countryside, ostracism by civil servants, jealousy by emperors, and pitfalls dug by colleagues, every step you take leads to a price. There will be obstacles, frustrations, and moments of weakness. Rely on your calm mind and professional ability to break out of the quagmire little by little and stand in court. The career line is the main focus and the emotional line is light. The heroine relies on herself and does not rely on anyone's charity. If you prefer the flow of reality to growth and the combination of farming and court, don't miss it. Title of the book: "Traveling Peasant Girl: I Amazed the Imperial Court with My English" A girl from an English college died suddenly after staying up late, and transformed into the daughter of an ancient farmer who was oppressed by patriarchal principles. The father was partial to his younger brother, and life at home was miserable. He was beaten and scolded from the beginning. ✅No system | No noble person from heaven | No halo of the protagonist! She has no peerless beauty, no royal bloodline, and her only trump card is her professional skills in modern English. Occasionally, I met a foreign envoy entering the court. No one in the civil and military officials of the court could understand the foreign language. She seized the slim chance and climbed up step by step. Being able to speak a foreign language does not mean cheating all the way. The officialdom is full of difficulties, suspicions, and exclusions. The heroine just relies on her IQ, experience, and tolerance to find a way out.
