Her second brother was falsely accused and disappeared, and an imperial decree ordering the family property confiscated arrived.
Shen Jingyi, who had been born into this world and transmigrated into a book, changed out of her red bridal clothes and into men's attire to save her brother. Disguised as Ji Muyun, the son of a servant, she set off to take the imperial examinations.
Unexpectedly, the System appeared out of nowhere and sent her straight in front of Pei Shaoheng, the cold-faced King of Hell.
A Hanlin Academy scholar, Pei Shaoheng was not only impartial and stern but also deeply calculating. He tested her in every way and relentlessly pressed her, always suspecting that the young man before him, with his androgynous beauty, was no ordinary person. Was he really the son of a servant?
After following Pei Shaoheng to the capital, Shen Jingyi offered strategies and inventions based on the knowledge from her previous life. She and Pei Shaoheng even faced life and death together several times. Yet rumors began to spread throughout the capital that the two of them were lovers.
Shen Jingyi thought Pei Shaoheng would keep his distance to avoid suspicion. Instead, he stopped concealing the feelings that were growing ever stronger in his eyes, leaving Shen Jingyi in a constant state of anxiety. After all, beneath her scholar's robes, she was a woman.
When her second brother is finally cleared of all charges and her identity is revealed, will the boundless affection she receives now become a blade turned against her?
Theme: A woman can stand on her own talents, save her family, and shape the fate of all.
