The Great Zheng Empire was founded by its transmigrated emperor. He made it the only feudal empire among the thirty-three states of the Zhou Tian Continent where women could also enter government service through the imperial examinations.
Ye Yaozhi once thought her life was over. But after she and her younger brother were rescued, she discovered that the world was far bigger than she had imagined.
Working, doing business, attending an academy, taking the imperial examinations, serving in government, going into battle to slay enemies...
It turned out that girls could do anything they wanted as long as they took action, instead of being mere childbearing tools, as the people of Ye Village claimed.
For Ye Yaozhi, the chance to attend Yijiang Academy was a blessing she could hardly have hoped for in three lifetimes.
Standing at the academy gates, Ye Yaozhi slowly let out a breath and gently pushed them open. Her life took a new turn, and from that moment on, a genius who would shine through the ages was added to the history of Great Zheng.
Then Ye Yaozhi met someone.
Fu Kongshan was the legitimate son of the Marquis of Wenhan, but not the eldest. He had always treated his father's title as a joke. He preferred the clink of money to books and essays.
The marquis's household kept up appearances with the money he earned. Did those freeloading relatives he supported really think they could lord it over him just because they were his elders?
Fu Kongshan never gave anyone the time of day. To get some peace and quiet, he left home to inspect his businesses.
He rescued a poor family being bullied. It was the first time he learned that a girl of fourteen or fifteen could run a household. It was also the first time he learned how sweet it could feel to think of someone's name, and the first time he realized how lovely it sounded when someone said his.
The first time he heard Ye Yaozhi call him by his full name, his ears tingled and his face turned bright red.
For the first time, he thought his name sounded wonderful.
Then Fu Kongshan heard his heart say to him, "Yes, this is the one!"
Little Scenes
(1)
At the Marquis of Wenhan's residence.
The marquis, furious enough to glare and blow his whiskers, pointed a trembling finger at Fu Kongshan's nose and barked, "As long as I'm alive, you will never marry Ye Yaozhi!"
"Then I won't marry her." Fu Kongshan folded his arms and retorted with an air of composure. "I'll marry into A Zhi's family instead!"
"You!"
"What about me?" Fu Kongshan lifted his chin. "A son who marries into his wife's family is like water poured out. From now on, you'll have to support yourselves!"
(2)
At the Lantern Festival, beneath the flowers and the moon.
Fu Kongshan looked at Ye Yaozhi with watery eyes, like a little puppy caught in a downpour, looking both innocent and pitiful.
With her hands behind her back, Ye Yaozhi leisurely admired the lanterns and asked as if by chance, "Young Master Fu, what's wrong this time?"
Fu Kongshan's eyes darted about, his tail practically wagging as he said pitifully, "A Zhi, there's something I want to discuss with you. Is that okay?"
"What is it? Go ahead."
Fu Kongshan immediately took Ye Yaozhi's hand and widened his eyes. Holding his breath, he carefully ventured, "A Zhi, would you marry me?"
Ye Yaozhi looked at him, her eyes curving like a new moon.
Fu Kongshan's heart pounded uncontrollably, his eyes full of hope and nervousness.
Ye Yaozhi smiled at him and gently nodded. "All right. I'll prepare ten miles of wedding gifts, and send you off in grand style."
One meeting beneath golden breezes and jade dew is worth more than countless moments in this world.

Damn it, I actually finished the chase? This book is really good. I clicked on it directly from the event page and stayed up all night to read it. I like little leaves so much.
Oh ho, I was exposed in front of my future wife.
Ah, this heroine's mother is really selfish and small-minded. The key is that she only has herself in her heart and never considers others. It's so stupid. I can't say anything like asking her to die early. After all, she is the heroine's mother, but I am really angry. How can a mother treat her own child like this, be jealous of her child, and even think that her current misfortunes are all caused by the heroine. I am really angry. I still want the heroine's mother to come. Hey
Great, I really like this kind of article related to the rise of women, but I feel that the writing is a bit hollow, and the characters are particularly thin, such as the villagers, all of them are bad, and there is no sympathy for the heroine's family. For example, the heroine's mother, except for letting the two children escape at the beginning, the subsequent description basically amplifies her short-sightedness and weakness and strong support for the authority of her children, such as the male protagonist Hou Gongzi? She is described as a piece of fat. It feels like the whole thing is pieced together. Everyone's situation is very fragile and independent, including the heroine. Her transformation is very sudden.
The heroine was finally forced to become a face-slapping madman
"Ye Zhaoqing laughed at him" is a big bug for the author~ Ye Yaozhi laughed at him
They also keep saying that the test questions are difficult, but the number of admissions has increased, and they should benefit.
Is it setting that Xiucai will try it directly later? I feel like the middle lift was not mentioned. Generally the middle lift is the most difficult.
Hey, after reading it all the way, I really think this book is very good, and the author has done a lot of hard work.
The heroine is really good
