A Girl's Journey into Government

This novel has entered the Growth and Comeback theme essay contest, "The Carp Leaps Through the Dragon Gate and Surpasses Those Who Came Before." Thanks for your support :) [Reason for entering: My heroine transmigrates back to ancient times and becomes a peasant girl in a remote village. After the family divides up, her father is conscripted for labor, and the family is destitute. Using her knowledge, Han Chuyi leads her parents in making and selling dried persimmons, earning money to improve their lives. After she happens to witness the murder of a woman who was divorced by her husband, Han Chuyi comes up with the idea of taking the civil service exams and becoming an official. Earning money can improve their lives, but it cannot change people's attitudes. Women in ancient times still live tragic, unenlightened lives. If she could pass the exams and become a local magistrate, she could do a great deal for the people under her jurisdiction and change the fates of many women. After more than ten years of study, Han Chuyi succeeds in the civil service exams and becomes the first female county magistrate of the Dayun Dynasty. She works hard to change her own fate, and the fates of many other women as well.] After a single transmigration, Han Chuyi becomes the four-and-a-half-year-old granddaughter of the Han family, an ordinary farming family in Baixing Village, Zhiyun County, Dayun Dynasty. She discovers that every member of the family is peculiar and strange! Grandpa Han Shan is taciturn and follows the maxim that a family patriarch should be neither deaf nor dumb! Grandma Liu is henpecked. She looks softhearted, but is actually ruthless! Her father and mother are honest and softhearted, but they're the kind of people who are "tough only at home"! Her second uncle and aunt are soft-spoken but hardhearted, with honeyed tongues, like a pair of giant white lotuses! Her third uncle and aunt stay out of other people's business and look down on everyone, convinced that only they see the world clearly! And so the Han family lives together in bliss (scheming), happiness (hidden grudges), and joy (ghosts) (pregnant with plots)! Blurb 2 Old Master Han had three dreams in his life. The first: four generations living under one roof. The second: the Han family owning a cow, a donkey, and a sheep. The third: a Han son entering government service! The old master worked hard all his life and achieved his second dream. After he passed away, the Han family diligently carried on his final wish, hoping to fulfill the third. Ten years later, they achieved half of it, but the successful one wasn't a boy. It was a girl! Blurb 3 This is the story of an ignorant peasant girl living in poverty and hardship, who transforms into an indispensable female official of a feudal dynasty and a great scholar who enlightens women!
