The Privy Councilor's Secretly Cherished Young Lady

Also known as A Heart Set on the Demon Path Lin Yuxuan disguises herself as a man and takes the imperial examinations under the identity of Mo Yourong, the son of the former top scholar, hoping to uncover the truth behind the injustice done to her ‘family.’ Along the way, she discovers that her cousin Lin Yimo, whom she thought had died, is still alive and has become Su Zimo, the eldest young master of the Su family. Overjoyed, she reunites with her brother, and they join forces to uncover the truth. But the truth is far more complicated than she imagined, concealing a vast conspiracy. The Lin family’s case is only a lead; she must uncover the full truth herself. The more she learns, the more she is hurt. When everything is finally laid bare, where will she go from there? Mo Yourong: “If the Lu family hadn’t fallen, I would be the carefree Lu Ningzhi. There would be no such person as Lin Yuxuan in this world, no official named Mo Yourong at court, and no Yunyi in the martial world.” Chu Rongzhi: “If I’d stayed back then, perhaps you wouldn’t have had to endure so much pain.” Su Zimo: “If I’d understood my feelings for you sooner and been determined to take you away, perhaps we wouldn’t be facing each other with blades today.” Guo Jingquan: “She’s only a woman. Why treat her so cruelly and make her suffer so much?” Jiang Shaojin: “Anyone can become Xiao Linyi, but in the end, no one can become Chu Rongzhi, much less Su Zimo.” Feng Yuxuan: “Actually, Su Zimo was much luckier than he was. At least he had a place in her heart, while the other man never even saw the door.” Qu Lishuo: “It seems so many men admire her, but Xiao Linyi is the only one who truly gives selflessly.”
