After transmigrating into the role of a concubine-born daughter and cannon-fodder character in a marquis's household, who was constantly mistreated, Shen Qingci opened her eyes and immediately knew what awaited her: her stepmother would control her, her legitimate elder sister would bully her, and she would eventually become a pawn in a marriage alliance, dying in misery.
Given another chance, she put away her timidity, leaving only a cold glint in her eyes.
She had no interest in fighting the women of the household or scheming behind closed doors.
She would take a path no one else would even dare imagine:
Disguise herself as a man, study for the imperial exams, and change her fate through her own efforts.
The world laughed at this poor, concubine-born girl for dreaming above her station.
The powerful tried to block her at every turn, making her path as a woman treacherous.
But with a head full of knowledge and an unyielding spirit,
She went from a rural academy to the imperial court,
Passing one exam after another, from scholar to provincial laureate to jinshi, and carving out a remarkable career in government.
Everyone said that the young Master Xiao was aloof and noble, with no distractions,
Yet he alone protected this newly risen young gentleman, time and time again.
"Just keep moving forward. I'll shield you from every storm behind you."
