In the fifth year of the Empress Dowager's regency, she approves women taking the imperial examinations for the first time. The first woman to attain the top scholar title since the founding of Great Yan is Xi Zhao.
At the Qionglin Banquet, Xi Zhao wears a brocade robe, her lovely appearance captivating everyone. She is the center of attention.
The officials praise Xi Zhao for her talent and beauty, then wonder which young nobleman she will marry. They eagerly put their own families forward.
Xi Zhao only smiles politely and turns them all down, admitting that she is already betrothed.
The officials can only sigh in disappointment, lamenting that their sons aren't so fortunate.
But they don't know that on that very night, in Fengluan Palace, amid red candles and painted screens, Xi Zhao stands with her hands at her sides. Her red brocade robe hangs loose, and someone grips the belt at her waist, leaving her utterly disheveled.
The Empress Dowager lowers her eyes, playing with the belt in her hand, and asks softly, "How come I didn't know you were betrothed?"
Xi Zhao lowers her head and dares not speak.
Xi Zhao has never told anyone that she once served the Empress Dowager.
Nor will she tell anyone what a passionate, tender entanglement once existed between them.
-- Upcoming: Why Are All My Secret Identities Me? --
Important: It's narcissism, okay~
One bright, sunny morning, the main System of the Quick Transmigration Bureau crashed.
Millions of small worlds collapsed into one, and they urgently needed a savior to repair it.
Su Qianhuan, one of the Quick Transmigration Bureau's top ten employees, was lucky enough to become that savior (unlucky victim).
The good news: once she finishes this job, she can retire.
The bad news: all the secret identities she'd used have been dragged into the collapsed world, and now it's full of versions of herself.
Her secret identities are naturally attracted to her original self, so after entering the small world, Su Qianhuan finds herself surrounded by them.
At first, Su Qianhuan thinks this isn't so bad. She has a good time hanging out with herself, until one day, her favorite secret identity calls her to a small grove and asks what exactly their relationship is now.
Su Qianhuan: "..."
"What do you think our relationship is?" "It can't possibly be a romantic relationship, right?" "I guess a romance wouldn't be so bad, either."
Theme: Stay positive.
