I Made the Scholars' List, So You Want Me to Marry the Princess? I'll Be Huang Chao Instead

After transmigrating to ancient times, Lin Yi spent ten years studying for the imperial examinations and finally earned a place on the list of successful candidates.

He thought he was about to reach the pinnacle of success, but the princess of the current dynasty took a liking to him and wanted him as her consort?

What a joke! I am the top scholar, a role model for scholars across the land. You want me to live off a woman and give up any chance of advancement!

You want me to become an imperial in-law? I'll become Huang Chao instead.

Taking advantage of an opportunity to be sent out to provide disaster relief, he put down a rebellion and won the people's loyalty.

When war broke out on the frontier, he led his forces to end the fighting and reached an agreement with the cavalry beyond the border.

Seizing the opportunity, he brought a hundred thousand troops stationed beyond the frontier under his command and marched triumphantly back to the capital.

He declared that he was purging the court of corrupt officials, then changed the banner flying over the city.

When the nobles who had once seemed untouchable opened the city gates to welcome him as emperor,

the once-arrogant princess knelt at his feet, no longer able to look up at his imperial face.
