A Complete Explanation of the Negative Examples in Imperial Examinations

Xiao Jingduo had suffered and been wounded. Several times, he was driven to the edge of a cliff, yet he refused to fall.

In the first half of his life, he lived to avenge his mother. In the second half, he lived to help her leave in safety.

Without his mask, he was Chengxi Marquis, a young and powerful court official. With it, he was the blade the Regent Princess used to kill.

People's opinions of Xiao Jingduo were divided, but his most criticized trait was his lack of a scholar's integrity: he willingly served as the Regent Princess's blade and worked for her.

Until Xiao Jingduo married the Regent Princess.

The court officials: ... No wonder!

The fifth daughter of the Changxing Marquis household was switched at birth. A farmer's daughter accidentally became the young lady, while the true daughter of the marquis's family was left among the common folk, enduring thirteen years of hardship.

At thirteen, Chu Yao finally returned to her birth parents. The awkward part was that her mother thought her manners were vulgar and doted on the girl who had been raised in her place. Even her grandmother couldn't bear to see the granddaughter she'd loved for thirteen years return to a farmer's home, so she decided the false daughter should stay and continue living as a noble young lady.

Chu Yao, who had grown up in a poor family, didn't fit in at the marquis's household. After her cousin tripped her up yet again, Chu Yao sat in her room crying when she suddenly discovered that her jade pendant could talk.

Her jade pendant had a bad temper, but it would listen to her complaints, help her navigate the battles within the household, and teach her how to take down scoundrels.

Until one day, Chu Yao met the infamous Crown Prince.

#You might not believe it, but the spirit in my jade pendant looks exactly like the Crown Prince#
