Lin Xiaoman, a peasant girl, learned literature from her father as a child. After her father's early death, she took care of her sick mother while studying in secret. In ancient times, women were banned from imperial exams, but she used her late father's old documents to disguise herself as a man and sign up for the county exam. With her deep knowledge of rural life, she solved the county magistrate's water control problem and won first place. In the prefectural exam, a fellow scholar suspected her identity, but she won everyone over with her *New Ode to the Farmers*. In the palace exam, the emperor asked about agricultural policies, and she proposed a "field distribution system" based on her own experience, which delighted the emperor. Just as the top scholar was about to be announced, her female identity was accidentally exposed—will the emperor make an exception and let her achieve the triple crown? What fate awaits her?
