Wen Xi is a petite lady dressed as a man to earn a living as a writer. She specializes in writing romance dialogue novels that would be deemed improper for scholars. Wen Xi comes from a poor family with a mother and sickly younger brother, Wen Bin. This is in an era whereby girls are barred from attending schools. So, Wen Xi assumes Wen Bin’s identity to carry out her work.
Yun Shang Academy is a prestigious school that trains scholars to become government officials. Its students are mainly from noble and rich families. The weaker ones will merely hire poor but talented commoners to provide them with answers during the the eligibility exams. This is how Wen Xi ends up getting enrolled in the school after some mishaps and bumping into the righteous Cheng Jun.
Wen Xi has to share a dorm room with Cheng Jun and Lei Ao. She also relies on Le Xuan to help her to make money to support her family. As Wen Xi navigates her way through life at the school, she builds up a close friendship with the 3 men and later falls in love with one of them. They also get drawn into the political side of things through Lei Ao who is trying to investigate his late brother’s case and the evil intentions of Zheng Zhi and his father.
