Princess Le Xuan of Xijiang Kingdom set up a school for girls, but only accepted girls from official families, in order to win over the powerful. Chen Shutong, the daughter of a teacher in a southwest village, wanted to get ahead, so she moved to Beijing and made an impassioned speech, becoming a pawn of the princess. Chen Shutong entered a women's school and met Jiang Hehe, a daughter of a wealthy family, and Chu Meng, a female general. The three of them worked together to resolve petty fights and various harassments in the college. They also experienced family changes and emotional twists and turns, and became close friends. Shutong also redeemed each other and had feelings for each other with Chu Meng's brother Chu Ting. After leaving the academy, they grew up in official circles, business circles, and border areas. During this period, they also experienced broken mountains and rivers, and tyrants in power. Chen Shutong went from a ninth-grade official to the Hanlin Academy and then to the Yushitai, and finally assisted the princess in ascending to the throne and became a female prime minister herself. Along the way, Chen Shutong only wanted to climb up at first. After being frustrated in the officialdom and being imprisoned for resisting the tyrant, he saw through the cruelty of the power struggle and the ever-changing human relationships, and finally found his true heart: to establish his heart for the world and to establish his destiny for the people.
Purpose: A woman has a difficult life. Although she is trapped in a power struggle, she still has the heart to help the world and bring peace to the people.
