[Female-to-Male] [Imperial Examinations] [Court Intrigue]
After waking up one day, Gu Xue, a young urban woman, finds that she has transmigrated into the body of Gu Yunji, a low-born son from a marginal branch of a prominent family.
In a noble clan that values legitimate heirs above all else, this son of a concubine's son is less noticeable than the rooster in the courtyard with its exceptionally loud crow.
The imperial examinations are the only way to change his fate.
Relying on his clan is the only way to secure a smooth career in office.
This leaves Gu Xue with mixed feelings, given how deeply the patriarchal clan system oppressed her in her previous life. But what leaves him even more conflicted is his wife's charming face on their wedding night.
"Husband, please be gentle with me."
Faced with this situation, Gu Xue, a straight woman who had been single for over twenty years in her previous life, panics.
What do I do? How do I do this? I don't know how!
There is a female lead, but the romance is limited, and she appears infrequently.
