Xia Wen transmigrated into a book. It had all the usual tropes of a traditional romance web novel: no System, no cheats, and no golden finger.
Scheming in the household or palace? Leveling up by fighting monsters? She started out as a little beggar. And this story was a friend's new project, but she'd only read the opening. Help!
After a lot of effort, she got a place at a prestigious ancient school and thought she'd find a classmate to rely on...
But everyone acted friendly to her face and stabbed her in the back.
Forget it. Staying alive matters more. Anyone who plays politics is black-hearted!
At last, she met a pitifully adorable hostage prince and devoted herself to treating him well. But he was only using her to commit murder and arson.
Sigh. People, life... Anyone who plays politics is black-hearted!
At last, she passed the exams to become a government official in ancient times. Then her superior died amid the succession struggle, and her superior's rival tried to poach her.
I'm done. Whoever cares can deal with it. Anyone who plays politics is black-hearted!
Gu Xuan, the black-hearted little hostage prince, had spent eight years held hostage in an enemy state. He was treated well, but his freedom was restricted.
The young prince still aspired to return to his homeland and compete for the position of heir. When everyone else treated him as if he were invisible, only the silly top exam graduate was kind to him.
But she was kind to more than just him. She was kind to everyone, and even turned against him for the sake of her superior.
Still, winning the succession struggle mattered more. He could just coax the top graduate as he had before.
By the time he came to his senses, the top graduate had already resigned from office and vanished into the vast sea of humanity.
Theme: Study hard.
