Chun Wanwan

The man she is supposed to marry prefers men? Thinking of her previous life, when she took her own life after contracting a venereal disease, Zou Xiangwan can’t accept that fate... To escape the sickly, spoiled heir and uncover the truth behind her mother’s death, Zou Xiangwan fakes her own death and decides to disguise herself as a man and enter government service. On the first day of her male disguise, Zou Xiangwan meets Shao Chengling, dashing and proud as he rides along in his carriage, his robes fluttering in the wind. On the first day of the imperial examinations, Zou Xiangwan meets Zhou Wangyuan, seated high in the hall in purple robes, rich, carefree, and flamboyant. Day by day, step by step, she becomes ever more deeply embroiled in court politics, only to be swept into an even greater maelstrom.
