Feng Xing

“When everyone kept telling me, ‘You’re nothing more than a woman,’ I kept telling myself, ‘Actually, you can give it a try.’” — Fang Feng Sheng … There is a proverb in officialdom: “Without Shaoxing, there is no yamen.” She is the only descendant of the Fang family, the most renowned family of private advisers in Shaoxing. A single struggle tore the Fang family apart. Her father was implicated and died as a result. She fought her way through countless hardships for one purpose alone—to clear his name. Yet as she continued down that path, she discovered that some things lay far beyond anything she had ever imagined. … Zong Yue knew very well that the only reason he was able to marry Fang Feng Sheng was because he had cut off every possible path of retreat available to her. But that didn’t matter. One day, she would belong to him—and so would her heart. P.S. (by author): This novel has everything: the imperial examinations, officialdom, political intrigue, court struggles, criminal investigations, romance, household conflicts, vicious catfights, and sweet romantic moments. The proportions of each depend entirely on the author’s mood. The historical information in this novel—including the imperial examination system, official institutions, and geography—is drawn from online sources and various reference materials. Approximately ninety percent is a mixture of the Ming and Qing dynasties, while the remaining ten percent consists of things the author simply made up on the spot. Please do not treat it as historically accurate; just enjoy the story. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: Feng Xing — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
