A modern soul transmigrates into the body of a peasant girl, forced to dress as a man the moment she lands. The widowed and orphaned family at home is at the mercy of greedy clansmen, and a single misstep will lead to utter destruction. She binds herself to an imperial examination system, using her extraordinary memory and the system's three-fold time dilation space to study hard. Overcoming crushing family poverty, she perseveres in studying poetry and books under a male identity, defusing the fatal crisis of her identity being exposed while protecting her grandmother, mother, and sister, and striving forward on her arduous path of learning.
