Open the Door

Xia Zhenxi is a politician born with three abilities: "the method of observing things", high political sensitivity, and the ability to think beyond the times. Her father was a famous border general who died in a political dilemma where "no one was wrong". Her mother was the legitimate daughter of a merchant from Jiangnan, and she exchanged her own life for a way out. She was told by her maternal grandfather to hide her clumsiness since she was a child. On the surface, it seemed that the emperor was extremely benevolent and righteous to her, until she slowly discovered that - that kind of kindness is only for the world to see. She just wanted to marry a boy from a poor family and live out her life safely and smoothly. But at the poetry meeting, Xie An, the eldest son of the Xie family, saw through her at a glance. Later, Xie Mao asked under the locust tree: "If the Holy One is the one who gives me the marriage - would you like it?" She turned around in silence. She couldn't answer. Adding the orphan girl to the Xie family's military power would mean a change of ownership. She didn't dare to gamble on this arithmetic problem, and the emperor even less dared. But the emperor acted first and gave her to Xie Mao's cousin, the sickly prince Gu Qingzhou, through an imperial edict. On the wedding night, Gu Qingzhou handed over a marriage certificate: freedom after marriage, independent private property, and remarriage after death. "This marriage is not a shackle, it is a covenant." She thought this was a way out, until she really entered the depths of this dynasty - women were not allowed to enter the officialdom, there was no way out for the bottom, and class was a cage carved into it from birth. The emperor of this dynasty has long ceased to be a wise king, and has long ceased to rule by a wise king. Fortunately, she was not the only one who saw it. Some people in the court were silent, some in the market were unwilling, and some in the palace were silently resisting. She can't break the wall by herself, but she can connect these people together. "A group of people all go in the same direction" - everyone is a star in their own orbit, with their own light, their own gravity, and their own laws of movement. Xia Zhenxi was the one who drew the star map. She saw the orbit of each star, discovered that their gravity could pull and complement each other, and then connected them into a galaxy that could light up the night sky. Purpose: Hiding one's stupidity is not about accepting one's fate, it is about opening the door when one has the ability. She had been hiding for twelve years, not just to survive, but to wait for an opportunity. She pushed women to join the officialdom, not to fight for power, but so that those who came after her would no longer have to hide.
