She Comes from Qingping County

In the twenty-seventh year of Jingyuan, Qingping County suffered a disaster, and fifteen-year-old Shen Nian became an orphan. She carried her remaining two taels of silver and fled into the capital on a dusty road that lasted for a hundred days. Outside the gate of Yongding, behind you is your hometown that has been reduced to ashes, and in front of you is the prosperous imperial capital with unpredictable people. There is no place to stay in the wilderness. This big city is the last haven for orphans without fathers, brothers, and orphans. From escaping for life to seeking food and clothing, she was at a loss to explore the possibility of settling down. Without a system or a golden finger, she relied on a pen to defeat the generals in the women's imperial examination and stand in court, growing upward with her tenacity. Others laughed at her wishful thinking for "making a living for the people" and called her ambitious for bucking the trend. But there is no way back to Qingping County. She can only earn a living and keep her original intention in the Empress' court with a pen and a body. Even if there is no recovery, so what? Purpose: This work is the "realistic growth" of the protagonist Shen Nian, and it is also a "self-redemption and value reconstruction in a desperate situation" that establishes oneself first and then others. From the "survival philosophy of the orphan girl at the bottom, to the "breaking of walls and establishment of the world" of women under the background of patriarchy, to the "two-way rush" of personal destiny and feelings of family and country, I hope that all friends can find some resonance with their own growth.
