The Highest Good Is Like Water

This is the story of a woman who transmigrates into an era where she simply doesn't fit in. He Manqing has always found it strange: how do other women who transmigrate manage to fit so easily into another era? Unlike her, they're not irritating outsiders looking in. By all accounts, she was born into a far better family this time than in her previous life. Her father is the Earl of Jinghai, her mother is the Countess of Jinghai, her older brother passed the provincial examination at just fifteen, and her sister-in-law is a kind woman. It's practically perfect. And yet this is a damnable era that oppresses women. The layers of rules and restrictions leave He Manqing gasping for breath. Either endure it or die. He Manqing thinks it over and realizes she simply can't endure it. She'd rather risk everything and go down fighting.
