I am Xu Yue, who transmigrated overnight into a tragic, early-dying cannon-fodder female supporting role in an imperial examination novel. Born in a patriarchal era where women are disadvantaged, I am determined to reverse the cosmos, cross-dressing as a man to become the legitimate son of the Xu family, and stepping onto the perilous path of the imperial exams with the famed vassal system! Since the world is unfair and everyone is a chess piece, I will overturn this entire chessboard and restart. Taking a great Confucian scholar as my teacher, consecutively winning top honors in the county, prefecture, and academy trials, I shook Jiangnan with the posture of a minor triple-crown winner, pacified inner courtyard storms, manipulated wind and rain to gather immense wealth, all to protect my loved ones in peace. However, the examination arena is treacherous and unpredictable, and undercurrents surge in the imperial court.
