Shen Yuru has never liked studying. She's infatuated with the handsome young man next door, Xiao Jingzhao, and dreams of marrying him. His family may be poor, but she doesn't mind.
Then one day, she discovers that her world is a book, and she's a cannon-fodder supporting female character. She can only gaze longingly as the male lead, Xiao Jingzhao, rises from a licentiate to a provincial graduate, then becomes the top scholar chosen by the emperor in the Golden Hall. He goes on to become the crown prince and eventually ascends the throne... Naturally, he could never marry her.
Shen Yuru breaks into a cold sweat and hurriedly pulls out the Four Books to calm herself down. He's far above her station; she has no chance. She doesn't want to spend her life alone, so studying the sages' works seems like the safer choice.
Next door, Xiao Jingzhao has been studying at home all day. He can't help looking out the window. That annoying little dummy hasn't come over today?
* An alternate historical setting where women can take the imperial examinations, do business, and join the army.

[Recommended: The Commoner's Qingluan]
One day, the crown prince falls unconscious and is saved by his childhood sweetheart, the eldest daughter of the Pei family. But the lowborn daughter of the Ye family, Ye Qingluan, takes credit for it.
The girl has had a bad reputation since childhood and is said to be rotten to the core. But to repay her for saving his life, the crown prince has no choice but to agree to marry her, and she insists on becoming his crown princess. Otherwise, she says, he can repay her by giving her his life.
Crown Prince: ...For the sake of her saving my life, I'll put up with it.
Unexpectedly, on their wedding day, the eldest Pei daughter disregards all propriety and storms the ceremony, claiming that she was the one who saved the crown prince that day. She even produces irrefutable proof.
Seeing her lie exposed, Ye Qingluan figures she's probably done for. So she decides to go all out, grabs a long sword, and plans to take a few people she can't stand down with her. But the crown prince is a skilled fighter and disarms her in one move.
Qingluan closes her eyes, ready to die. At least she managed to anger the crown prince this much in her lifetime. That has to count for something.
But the pain she expects never comes.
Confused, she sees the crown prince gently cut off a lock of her hair and tie it together with one of his own. "They say that tying your hair together makes you husband and wife. My crown princess is in quite a hurry."

It feels like a pity for Luo Zirou. She made it to the First Academy through her own efforts, so why did she go back to be a concubine? After being admitted to the Xiucai Juren Examination, the economy should be much better.
So the unique jade pendant was discovered, and then the male protagonist gained his identity. In this way, someone can go to the capital to stop the male protagonist's adoptive mother. It is not easy to adopt a mother, and I hope they can be reunited.
