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

A year ago, the original owner was instigated by his "bad friends" to ruin a man's reputation and forcibly marry Su Mu, the young master of the Su family in town.

Three months ago, because he couldn't pay off his gambling debts, he used the same method to marry Song Yun from the neighboring Song family village. The Song family only had this one son, so they had no choice but to give more dowry and send their youngest son to Lin Shu's family, hoping that Lin Shu would treat their youngest son well.

Lin Shu usually loves to gamble. When she loses, she comes back to ask her two husbands for money. If she doesn't have money, she beats her husbands. Song Yun is only 17 years old and is young, so he is the one who is beaten the most.

Yesterday, Lin Shu was beaten up by thugs from a gambling den in town and ordered to pay back fifty taels of silver within three days, or else her two husbands would be given to the gambling den. She returned to the village on the verge of death and started to have a fever at night. When she woke up, she had become "Lin Shu" from the apocalypse.

After sorting out his thoughts, Lin Shu finally awoke from his coma.

Upon opening her eyes, the first thing she saw was a bed curtain with seven or eight patches. She slowly sat up, propping herself up on the bed frame, her cool gaze sweeping across the room from the bed—a habit she had developed during the apocalypse.

It must have been November, and the weather was very cold, but the blanket covering him, which was so dirty that its original color was unrecognizable, was only a thin layer and had patches on it.

A dark blue cloth was laid on the bed; it was actually a piece of cloth on a wooden board, which made a creaking sound when moved.

The room was completely exposed, with only a wooden table with peeling paint and a rickety stool; looking down at the ground, it was made of compacted soil, uneven and slippery, and when water was sprinkled on it, it became like mud.

If I remember correctly, this is already the best house in Lin Shu's family. The house of Lin's father, Xue Wen, and his two husbands is still drafty.

Now that she's come to this place, far from the apocalypse, she might as well make the best of it. Besides, this place is far less cruel than the apocalypse. From now on, she will be Lin Shu, Lin Shu of the Phoenix Continent.

As for Lin's father, judging from her memories, he truly loved his daughter. And deep down, she also felt a different kind of affection and longing for him... a feeling different from how she felt about her parents before the apocalypse in her previous life.

As for her two husbands, she hadn't yet figured out what to do with them. After all, they were both people the original owner had forcibly taken from her, and there was no affection between them whatsoever. In fact, the original owner often beat and scolded them, not to mention that she didn't want to be betrayed again.

"Enough! Let's wait and see! The most important thing right now is to make money!" Lin Shu murmured in a deep voice, a look of confusion appearing in his cold eyes for the first time!

Thinking about making money, Lin Shu suddenly remembered the mission she had taken on during the apocalypse: to use her storage space—the teardrop-shaped pendant that Li Han wanted to steal—to plunder large shopping malls.

After five years of the apocalypse, the food in the mall was almost gone, but the gold and silver jewelry and clothing were plentiful.

Just as she was thinking this, Lin Shu suddenly felt dizzy and found herself on a grassy field. In her confusion, a mechanical voice suddenly rang out:

"Welcome, host, to successfully bind to the Spirit Jade Space. I am your space manager, 'Xiao Shui'!"

Lin Shu was only surprised for a moment before she quickly came to her senses. After all, having experienced the apocalypse and been able to travel to this place, what else was impossible?

Why did I enter this place and become bound to it?

"Xiao Shui also knows that it was the master's blood that awakened Xiao Shui. At that time, the master's life was hanging by a thread, so Xiao Shui pulled the master into the time tunnel..." Xiao Shui's mechanical voice was mixed with a hint of grievance.

"Speak properly. Tell me everything you know!" Lin Shu said expressionlessly.

"Okay, Master!" It was still that exasperating, whiny voice, and Lin Shu was too lazy to pay attention to it anymore.

"The Spirit Jade Space is the teardrop pendant that its owner wore before his death. Because it was nourished and activated by the owner's blood, it has now been absorbed by the owner and transformed into one of his special abilities..."

"Superpowers? Then my ice-type superpowers..." Lin Shu's beautiful eyes widened.

"Yes, Master! You now possess dual-elemental abilities~"

"Hmm, what about the supplies we collected before?"

"Little Water has already organized everything for you! It's all in the little house by the spring, you can get it with just a thought! Also, the spring water can strengthen your body and beautify your skin~ but you can only have a small bowl each day!"

so little?

"And...and Master's supernatural abilities have leveled up since he entered this world!" Xiao Shui's weak voice rang out.

In other words, although she now possesses dual-elemental abilities, she cannot upgrade them any further!

"Hmm," Lin Shu frowned upon hearing this, but having already heard what she wanted to know, she ignored Xiao Shui and left the space directly, leaving Xiao Shui inside, furious.

Lin Shu: That robotic voice acting cute is too much for my ears...

Xiao Shui: Ouch~ Master is so annoying

Once outside the spatial dimension, Lin Shu eagerly sensed her ice-type ability, which had indeed followed her. It was at the same level as her spatial ability, but had regressed to around tier two. However, given her current skills, it was sufficient for this situation.

After thinking it over, Lin Shu breathed a sigh of relief, got up from the bed despite the pain, walked with difficulty to the table, poured the spring water from her spatial storage into the earthenware jar on the table, and drank it all.

In an instant, I felt a warm current flow through my limbs and bones, my body was full of strength, the bump on the back of my head disappeared, and I felt relaxed all over!

She pursed her lips slightly, in a great mood, looking at herself in the mirror, her hair disheveled and looking like a ghost.

Then she remembered that five years ago, when the original owner had just recovered from a serious illness, she was so beautiful that she looked pitiful. The village hooligans mocked her for looking "frail and sickly," so she let her hair down to cover her face for five years...

But Lin Shu really liked her pretty appearance, so she took out a hairband from the table, combed up all the hair that was covering her face in front of her forehead, and tied it into a high ponytail, making her look very energetic.

Perhaps it was because she had drunk the spiritual spring water, but at this moment she looked rosy-cheeked, with bright eyes and white teeth, a slender figure, fair skin, upturned eyes, and a beauty mark under her eye, making her extremely beautiful!

But because she always had a cold face, it added a touch of aloofness to her beauty, which was quite appropriate and did not make her look masculine!

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar woman in the mirror, she was very satisfied.

After tidying up, Lin Shu frowned at her mud-stained clothes. She rummaged through the box for a while before changing into a slightly cleaner blue dress and pushing open the door to go out.

“Squeak…”

As soon as she stepped into the courtyard, she met the eyes of the man who pushed open the door and entered.

The newcomer was dressed in a gray long robe, with handsome features and a gentle temperament. His hair was half-tied back, and upon closer inspection, his eyebrows and eyes bore a resemblance to Lin Shu's.

At this moment, the other person was looking at Lin Shu in disbelief, the fine lines at the corners of their eyes glistening with tears.

"Shu...Shu'er, my Shu'er...Waaah..." Lin Shu was moved by the sight of her father, Xue Wen, standing safely in front of him, wanting to go forward but not daring to.

"Dad, I'm all better now, don't worry." Lin Shu stepped forward, and her father, Xue Wen, gently stroked her eyebrows and eyes, tears welling up in his eyes.

The men in this world are as weak as the women in her previous life. Lin Shu looked at her father with a slightly helpless expression, her face expressionless, but her eyes held a tenderness and affection she had never felt before.

"Waaaaah... It's good that it's alright... Daddy thought..."

The commotion outside naturally alerted the two people in the kitchen. Upon hearing that Lin's father had returned, Song Yun playfully poked her head out of the kitchen.

"Dad, you're back from getting the doctor? Dinner'll be ready soon, my brother made corn porridge today..." Before he could finish the word "porridge," he saw the scene in the yard, his mouth agape in surprise, then he shrank back and said:

"Wife...wife master..."
