I Transmigrated Into a Poor Princess and Took the Imperial Exams

Fu Yang was a PhD graduate of a military academy. One day, she transmigrated into the body of a scrawny, eight-year-old refugee. Her mother, Fu Tang, had transmigrated too, and was a bona fide domineering female CEO. Neither of them wanted to live a life of poverty. Fu Yang decided to disguise herself as a boy and take the imperial examinations, while her mother focused on making money and building a business. Before long, she became the wealthiest merchant in Great Zhou, and then Fu Yang's scumbag father showed up... An imperial decree came crashing down. Fu Tang cried out, "Fu Yang, when did you become the emperor's daughter?" Fu Yang was even more bewildered than her mother. "You tell me! Was the man you spent the night with all those years ago the emperor?" The emperor: "Mind your manners." * The revelation that Fu Yang, the top scorer who had passed all three imperial examinations, was a woman shook the world. Deceiving the emperor was a capital crime. At court, officials from every ministry begged for clemency. Minister of War: "We can't kill her! If we kill Fu Yang, who'll make crossbows, land mines, and grenades?" Minister of Revenue: "If we kill Fu Yang, can you make a bicycle? Can you earn money? How are we supposed to wage war and unite the realm with an empty treasury?" Minister of Works: "The Silver Current Grand Canal hasn't been completed, and the blueprints for cities like Beiyun and Jindong haven't been drawn up. If we kill Fu Yang, who'll draw them?" Amid the noisy debate, the newly enthroned Prince of Zhennan calmly stepped forward. The elegant, aloof man spoke with conviction: "Your Majesty, I have privately pledged myself to Fu Yang, a Vice Minister of War. She is my betrothed. If you sentence Fu Yang to death, I will ask to be executed with her entire clan and buried alongside her." The court fell silent in an instant. When had the Prince of Zhennan learned that Fu Yang was a woman? And when had they pledged themselves to each other? He'd moved fast! "You, Ye Shijing! How dare you secretly seduce my daughter!" the emperor roared. The entire court fell into a deathly silence. The officials were baffled. What had His Majesty just said? Ye Shijing's brow twitched sharply too. The emperor's daughter? Fu Yang? [Reading Guide] 1. Set in a fictional world. Please don't overanalyze the details. 2.
