After Transmigrating as the Wicked Supporting Female Character in an Imperial Exam Novel

Shang Shixu had just received her graduate school admission letter from Qingbei University. Overjoyed, she stayed up late drinking and clubbing with friends, then died suddenly. When she woke up, she had become the vicious female side character in an imperial-exam novel. The original owner was a timid pushover who only acted tough at home. Her father was nowhere to be found, her mother was meek and fearful, and the family fields had been seized by their clan. The two shops originally belonging to her mother had also been taken over by relatives, and the original owner herself had been forced into an engagement. The original novel's heroine, Bai Huanqing, had been engaged to her since childhood. Bai Huanqing's parents died young, and the Bai family considered her ill-omened, so they married her off to the original owner at an early age. Unfortunately, the original owner was an unreasonable rogue. After they married, she neglected Bai Huanqing for two years and picked on her at every turn, even blaming her for the fact that she couldn't pass the exam to become a scholar. Later, the original owner stopped pretending. After failing the exams several times, she became violently temperamental, beating and cursing Bai Huanqing at every opportunity. Fortunately, Bai Huanqing met the male lead, Shen Yan, who rescued her. Shen Yan rose steadily through the imperial examinations, ultimately reaching the highest ranks of government. In the end, Shen Yan's people drove the original owner mad, and she spent her days begging and wandering the streets. After learning the whole plot, Shang Shixu wanted to cry. So she was destined to take exams in both her lives? What else could she do? Roll up her sleeves and get to work! If studying won't kill her, she'll study until it does! Fortunately, in her previous life, Shang Shixu had majored in Chinese Language and Literature, and her graduate studies focused on classical Chinese literature, so she knew a thing or two about the imperial examination system. On top of that, she activated the Imperial Exam Rise to Success System, and at last she had something to look forward to. With a strong wind at my back, I'll soar to the clouds.
