She was the celebrated, virtuous, and talented young woman of Hengzhou Prefecture. Well-versed in the Four Books and Five Classics, as well as the Lessons for Women and the Admonitions for Women, she followed every rule and never put a foot wrong. All the young women in Hengzhou Prefecture looked up to her as a role model.

She had thought her life was already mapped out: she would marry the fiancé promised to her before birth, support her husband and raise their children, and become the virtuous wife and loving mother everyone envied. But all those beautiful dreams suddenly shattered.

Her elder brother died under mysterious circumstances in the capital, and her mother suddenly went mad and hanged herself at home. She could not accept all this without question. She swore to uncover the truth.

She went to the capital and became a tutor at the Marquis of Dingyuan's estate, but that choice changed the course of her life forever.

Xiao Ying: Why should women be inferior to men? I want to learn martial arts, practice the sword, go to battle, and make a name for myself too.

Mei Ling: Women are the ones who are abused, and women are the ones driven to their deaths. If a woman is disgraced, does that mean she can no longer live?

Xiao Zhen: I'm just a girl. How could I possibly decide my own future?

Tang Wan: Today, I sign this divorce agreement. From now on, our lives and deaths have nothing to do with each other. Even if everyone curses me, I will never be your Song family's wife again.

Why can't women live for themselves? Why should women die for men's sins? Why can't two people who love each other stay together? Why must women obey the Three Obediences and Four Virtues while tolerating men taking concubines?

She was a tutor who taught the Lessons for Women, yet she could only watch as so many women struggled in its sea of suffering.

She cleared her brother's name and saved herself as well. When the fiancé who had kept a concubine for three years came to the capital to demand that she fulfill their marriage agreement, she said, "No. I will wait for someone who will devote himself to me alone. Even if we never meet again in this life, like Shen and Shang, whose stars never appear in the same sky."

Ever since she arrived in the capital, Xun Jin had been secretly watching her.

Everyone praised her for being obedient to propriety, gentle, courteous, quiet, and refined. But he saw that she defied convention, was proud and untamed, and acted decisively in love and hate.

He had long known she would one day become the key piece that stirred the capital's fortunes. But he never expected that such a seemingly insignificant young woman would dare to turn an entire era upside down.

[Growth and Comeback Writing Contest, "I Am Born with Talent, and It Must Be Put to Use": From the woman who follows propriety most strictly to the one who defies it most, from watching women suffer abuse without being able to help to giving everything she has to help them fight their fate. I am born with talent, and it must be put to use. Even a seemingly insignificant woman can have the power to change an entire era.]
