The Music-Loving Lady Official

[A Female Official Who Rises Step by Step] [A Quiet Crush on the Court of Judicial Review's Junior Minister]

Qin Xiyin was born the daughter of a prime minister, but after her family was destroyed, she was taken into the palace as a servant.

The Empress Dowager gave her two choices: marry the emperor as a consort, or remain in the Empress Dowager's palace and become a female official.

Qin Xiyin chose the second path.

But becoming a female official was no easy matter. The Empress Dowager set her a series of demanding trials.

In the end, she successfully completed every task the Empress Dowager gave her and became a female official admired by all.

During her tenure, she helped the weak, solved one strange case after another, exposed conspiracies, and protected the country. In time, she became a legend recorded in the history books.

In her later years, Qin Xiyin had students throughout the realm, and peace reigned across the land.

As a child, she never imagined she could rise so high. The history books gave her a page of her own and called her “a virtuous official.”

Throughout her legendary life, one person was always by her side: Gao Yi, Junior Minister of the Court of Judicial Review.

Gao Yi was upright and clever, and often believed there were few kindred spirits in the world. It wasn't until the day he met Qin Xiyin that he realized a kindred spirit could be found, mountains and seas could be crossed, obstacles could be overcome, and a lifetime together could be hoped for.
