The most daring thing Shen Jingzhe has ever done in her life is not to disguise herself as a man and survive as her cousin, not to win the titles of Jieyuan and Huiyuan from a poor family, but to say to the civil and military officials of the court during the palace examination——
"What's wrong with being a woman?"
Her name is Shen Jingzhe, she is the most dazzling imperial examination genius in Jiangnan, but she is also the daughter of a guilty minister.
She thought that as long as she passed the Jinshi exam and rehabilitated her father, her life would be complete.
Until she met Pei Yanzhi.
The young man from an aristocratic family whose life she saved in the examination room, the most talented man in the capital, the son of her enemy.
He blocked the knife for her, broke up with the family for her, and finally said in the court in front of everyone——
"I don't care if you are a boy or a girl, you are the only one I care about."
Shen Jingzhe didn't believe it.
She didn't believe that a member of the Pei family would sincerely help her, that a young master from an aristocratic family would be tempted by the daughter of a sinner, or that there really was such a thing as deep love and no regrets in this world.
But when she was thrown into the sky prison and Pei Yanzhi sneaked in late at night, held her hand and said, "I'll take you away";
When he presented all the evidence of his father's corruption to the emperor and traded the lives of his entire family for her life;
When he knelt down in front of everyone at the opening ceremony of her academy and said, "I, Pei Yanzhi, will not marry anyone except you in this life"——
Shen Jingzhe finally believed it.
It turns out that there is someone in this world who really loves you more than his family, his future, and his life.
Intention: A woman's body can also guide the country; a small heart can also contain her family and country.
