Female Supremacy and Rise to Power: Lin Shu's Imperial Examination Adventures

"Lin Shu, you bitch, die! Hahahaha..." A fair-skinned, pretty woman laughed maniacally as she stabbed a short knife into Lin Shu's heart.

Lin Shu looked down in disbelief at the person in front of him, one of the few people he had ever trusted in his life. "A Yao? You...~?" At the same time, he tried to activate his superpower despite the pain, but suddenly found that he could no longer feel his superpower.

For a fleeting moment, a hint of doubt and panic flashed in those usually calm and unwavering eyes, which he quickly concealed, but the woman named A Yao caught it nonetheless.

"puff……"

Seeing Lin Shu vomit blood, A Yao let out a sigh of relief. Just then, the door opened from the outside.

"Ah Han!" Ah Yao immediately turned her head and saw the person who came, calling out with burning eyes.

A gentle and refined man walked in, went straight to A Yao, put his arm around her waist, and said softly, "Yao Yao, isn't it over yet? We need to hurry, Base 3 is urging us..."

"It's you, Li Han... the morning tea..." Seeing the intimate actions between the two in front of him, Lin Shu understood everything.

"That's right, I put an ability suppressant in your tea." Upon hearing this, Li Han looked down at Lin Shu's scarred face, now contorted with pain, a flicker of disgust crossing his gentle eyes, and continued:

"Shushu, don't blame me. Base 3 wanted you dead, and Yaoyao and I had no choice. But don't worry, Yaoyao and I will use that treasure properly and make sure it reaches its full potential to benefit humanity..."

Looking at the hypocritical expression on the man's face, Lin Shu felt a momentary sense of disorientation.

Lin Shu has always loved beauty (and has always been a beauty since childhood). Li Han and she were childhood sweethearts, and Li Han has liked her since childhood. Their families are also old friends, so they are naturally happy to see this happen.

But who would have thought that five years ago, just as the two families had finalized their engagement, the apocalypse broke out. Lin Shu was eaten by zombies but did not die. Instead, he awakened ice-type superpowers. However, his face, which he had carefully protected since childhood, was disfigured by the zombies.

Li Han went to rescue Lin Shu's mother, only to find that she had already mutated and was on the verge of starving to death at the Lin family home when Lin Shu arrived. A Yao was someone Lin Shu met shortly after he awakened his powers following being eaten by zombies; she was being harassed by several thugs, and if Lin Shu hadn't rescued her in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Since being bitten by a zombie five years ago and regaining her superpowers, Lin Shu has been cold-hearted and indifferent due to the influence of the apocalypse and ice magic. However, she also cherishes the warmth that these two people brought her, but this is the result she got in return.

"Why? I've clearly tried my best to be good to you all?" Lin Shu asked in a barely audible voice, already struggling to breathe.

"Good? Good to me? Lin Shu, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been bullied in the first place. You were right there, why did you wait until I was being bullied before you saved me? Is that what you call being good to me? Hahahaha..."

Ayao raised her head and laughed uncontrollably, wiping away the tears of laughter from the corners of her eyes as she continued:

"I've been waiting for this day for five whole years, hahaha... Oh right! You didn't know, did you? Your mother was also a superhuman at first, she did it to save Ahan..."

"That's enough, Yao Yao..."

Seeing A Yao's frenzied state, Li Han's gentle tone carried an undeniable solemnity, and a fierce glint flashed in his eyes.

Seeing Li Han's expression, A Yao knew she had said the wrong thing and that Li Han was angry, so she obediently lowered her head and nestled in his arms.

Li Han was satisfied, and turned to look at the teardrop-shaped gemstone necklace around Lin Shu's neck, saying gently:

"Shushu, don't listen to Yaoyao's nonsense. Give me the necklace, and I'll take you to Base 3."

Lin Shu knew immediately that his words were unreliable, and then laughed.

"Okay, come and get it!"

Li Han listened to her agreement and, without thinking much, walked over and reached out his hand. In an instant, Lin Shu pulled out the short knife from her chest and plunged it into his carotid artery. The incident happened in a split second, and by the time Li Han reacted, all his anger had vanished.

As Lin Shu drew her sword, blood splattered from her chest. Covered in blood, A Yao, as if possessed, scrambled out of the room.

After doing all this, Lin Shu finally collapsed to the ground. She knew she had reached her limit. In her final moments, Lin Shu recalled the little girl, both strange and familiar, from the depths of her memory, which gradually blurred—both laughable and tragic!

She raised her hand to touch her deeply lined face. If she could do it all over again, she would make up for her regrets and never make the same mistake again.

As Lin Shu slowly closed her eyes, the teardrop-shaped pendant, soaked with the blood gushing from her chest, emitted a strong white light...

……

Fengming Kingdom, Mengzhou Prefecture, Yun County, Dongshan Town, Peach Blossom Village.

"Hiss... Ah... It hurts!"

Lin Shu woke up in a daze, feeling a sharp pain in his head. Before he could react, he heard voices outside the door. He sat up, supporting himself on the bed, but collapsed again after less than two minutes.

"Squeak..." The person outside the door seemed to have heard the noise inside. The conversation stopped abruptly, followed by the sound of someone pushing the door open and entering.

A moment later, a hand touched Lin Shu's forehead.

"My lord, has the mistress woken up?" one of the young voices asked timidly.

"Hmm, the fever has subsided." The man's cool voice came as he held Lin Shu's forehead.

"Then...then he's awake...won't he...won't he sell me? Waaah~" The boy seemed to get more and more upset as he spoke, and he actually cried.

There was no response from inside the room for a moment, which seemed to be a silent affirmation.

Upon hearing this, Lin Shu could no longer hold on and completely fainted, but she knew that she had transmigrated. While still asleep, she experienced the life of this body, "Lin Shu," in a whirlwind fashion.

She transmigrated into a book, and the story unfolds in a place called Phoenix Continent, which has four countries.

The Fengming Kingdom in the east is the most powerful, followed by the Nanli Kingdom in the south, the Ximen Kingdom in the west, and the Beihuang Kingdom in the far north.

This continent is dominated by a matriarchal system, where women are typically large and robust, while men are petite and cute. Therefore, women are responsible for external affairs, while men are responsible for internal affairs. Men are responsible for bearing children (it is said that during childbirth, a male cleavage is needed to remove the child, and then a special restorative herb is ground into a juice and applied to the abdomen to restore it to its original state).

The original owner, Lin Shu, is 16 years old this year. She was born to Xue Wen, the husband of Lin Dafeng, in Yun County, Dongshan Town, and Peach Blossom Village, Mengzhou Prefecture, Fengming Kingdom.

The village was harsh and cold. Lin Shu was born with a beautiful and lovely appearance and was very smart. But for some reason, she started to go astray five years ago. She often followed the village hooligans, walking cats and dogs, and had a very bad reputation. Recently, she also developed a gambling addiction.

Lin Shu has a younger sister, Lin Yue, who is 15 years old this year. She was born to Lin Shu's stepfather, Du Ruo. Although she is not as beautiful as Lin Shu, she has always been well-behaved and sensible. She is the apple of Lin Shu's mother's eye. She is currently studying at Qingfeng Academy in town. Everyone in the village says that she will definitely pass the imperial examination this year.

In order to prevent the original owner's unfilial daughter from affecting her youngest daughter, Lin Dafeng took it upon herself to separate the family and asked the clan to make the decision to have Lin Shu sign a letter of severance, cutting off all ties completely. However, Lin Shu's father, Xue Wen, still lived with Lin Shu. As an orphan and widow, one can imagine how difficult it must have been for him.

(After the family splits up, the husband can choose to follow the wife or the daughter, but usually he follows the wife.)
