Updates are currently following the rankings. The entire story is drafted and ready.

After going through untold hardships to pass the civil service exam, He Zhao transmigrated into the body of an illegitimate child of a wealthy merchant in an alternate dynasty on her first day at work, after a car accident.

He Zhao jolted and sat up in shock. "What did you say?!"

An illegitimate son?!

That's clearly an illegitimate daughter!

Feeling the loss of a certain body part, He Zhao came to a firm decision. If she didn't want to get married, becoming an official was her only option.

Her first day at the yamen:

A superior sneered scornfully. "How disgraceful. Get out of the yamen, now!"

N days after entering the yamen:

Her superior's superior beamed at her with sparkling eyes. "He Zhao, you really are a talent. Move your desk to my office and work there!"

Her superior was in tears. "He Zhao, you have to say something nice about me to the boss!"

Female supporting character: "He Zhao, I want to marry you!"

Huh?!

He Zhao jolted upright again. How had things gone so differently from what she'd expected...?

But the female supporting character brought her food and drink every day, clearly intent on clinging to her.

He Zhao: Grabbed a bucket and ran!

A small new setting every three days, a big one every five. He Zhao nearly explored the whole alternate dynasty.

But after N days on the run, the number of female supporting characters who wanted to marry her hadn't gone down. It had only grown.

He Zhao waved both hands, looking calm. "What can I do? I'm just so popular. It's not my fault, right?"

But at some point, a man joined this big crowd of female supporting characters.

A man!!!

He Zhao took a closer look. This... this wasn't her arrogant cat of a secretary!

(At their first meeting)

The arrogant cat raised his gaze slightly.

"That short, scrawny little thing made it to the top of the list of men people most want to marry?"

"Are all those women blind?"

(Later)

Watching all those women do whatever they could to get close to He Zhao, the arrogant cat was as bristled as an angry cat every day, complaining indignantly.

"Are they blind? What makes them think they can even dream of marrying He Zhao?"

(Later still)

Looking at the secretary cat, who kept a serious expression even as the tips of both ears quietly turned red when she accidentally moved closer,

He Zhao felt as if a feather had gently brushed her heart, leaving it tingling.

Reading Notes:

1. This is a plot-driven story, told mainly from the heroine He Zhao's perspective.

2. There will definitely be an identity reveal, and it will be based on logic and the heroine's way of thinking. After the reveal, she will continue her work.
