Chapter 225: The Scholar's Path
As Lin Yuer's proposal is discussed, word of her plan spreads throughout the empire. The idea of a new education system, where women and commoners can pursue knowledge and power, resonates deeply with the people, especially the youth. Many see it as a beacon of hope, a way to break the cycle of poverty and limited opportunity that has plagued their families for generations.
Among them is a young woman named Xue Li, a bright and ambitious daughter of a merchant family in the capital. Xue Li has always felt stifled by the limitations placed on women in her society. Despite her natural intelligence, she has never been allowed to pursue the studies she craves. But when she hears of Lin Yuer's academy, she sees a chance to change her life.
Xue Li's journey is just beginning, and while she knows the road ahead will be filled with obstacles, she feels a spark of hope. The empire is shifting, and she plans to be a part of it.
