The Marquis Mansion’s Elite Class Novel

Newly widowed Xu Wan arrives at the Marquis mansion expecting a peaceful life, only to be confronted by her infamous stepson—a notorious troublemaker known throughout the capital. After she chases him with a knife, creating a scandal, her in-laws surprisingly task her with reforming the boy. Against all expectations, Xu Wan succeeds spectacularly. The once-unruly child begins studying, showing respect to his grandfather, and even rescuing slum children. Her remarkable success shocks the household, the capital, and the Emperor himself. As word spreads of her unique talent for transforming rebellious youth, court officials start sending their own wayward sons to the mansion. What begins as one difficult stepson evolves into an entire "elite class" of reformed troublemakers. Three years later, the Minister of Rites faces an unprecedented dilemma during imperial examinations: all of Xu Wan's former students have become exceptional candidates, making selection nearly impossible.
