Charlotte has been transported to the 19th century. There's no time to mourn her freshly arrived acceptance letter, because now entering the stage is
A young countess and her sixty-year-old duke, in the love story of the century (not!)
To avoid being "sold off," Charlotte racks her brains for a way out. At last, she picks a husband for herself.
Mycroft Holmes's first twenty years go smoothly, with an easy path into government service, until one day after work, he runs into Miss Norton.
From lying flat and slacking off to working herself to the bone: all it takes is getting married.
The Victorian era was the height of Britain's so-called "empire on which the sun never sets." Politics, the economy, the military, science, culture, and the arts all flourished. Wherever the sun shone, the flag of the British Empire flew proudly.
But none of that concerns Charlotte. All she knows is that she can no longer go to school.
"I want to tell every girl that we don't have to wear wigs, glue on mustaches, and dress in men's clothes to enter a university."
"From now on, more women will step into every corner of human knowledge. May you, me, and her all shine brightly and stand tall in our own fields!"
* A countess forced into marriage → London's richest woman, with a fortune in gold
* A government employee who lies flat and slacks off → the power behind the British government
In a word: a student specializing in physics, chemistry, and politics takes on the 19th century~
