No Romance, Imperial Exam Stories, No Cross-Dressing, Preferably Starting in Childhood
I want books like The Farmer's Imperial Exam Journey: My Dad Turns Out to Be the Ultimate Study Machine. Why are imperial exam novels almost always about women disguised as men? I'm okay with a woman becoming a man, but I can't handle an imperial exam story where she's just pretending to be one!

The content is really good, but the update is a bit slow. Who knows the author's address? I would like to send him some Yangjiang specialties.
Give it five stars to support it. I feel that the author is careful and much better than those authors with abnormal psychology. At least it will not affect the readers' outlook. Some authors are unscrupulous and dare to write about any abnormal psychology in order to read and get likes.
I always comment after reading the book. But everything has surprises. I read all the chapters in one night. Overall, it's still very good. I have always seen some articles and TV series saying that after ten years of hard work, no one asked me, and I became famous all over the world in one fell swoop. Looking at people today and thinking about the ancients, it is true that every inch of time is worth an inch of gold.
The article gives people a peaceful and gentle feeling, the flow is long-lasting, and the language is humorous and a little playful. Please give the author a big boost and hope to persevere.
The author quotes scriptures and references, and his writing is brilliant. It is truly a masterpiece.
It's not bad, it's not the kind of cautious and rigorous imperial examination essay, the Shuang essay is the kind of essay that makes you rich and marries your wife. It is also relatively easy to make money. One storybook can sell for hundreds of taels. It's easier to get money. I still love watching the hard-working imperial examination. There is no sense of involvement. A 6-year-old kid writes a storybook to sell, and then runs off alone without being a bad person. I was able to write storybooks when I first entered school, and I knew medicinal materials even before I went to school. Then there are more emotional lines. Don't read it with your brain in mind, read it as a refreshing article. I didn't expect that I was cleaning tables and singing during the imperial examination. If I wasn't cautious, I would be careless, and it would be outrageous if I could still sing.
It's so wonderfully written, I love this type of writing!
I've read several chapters, it's very good! A female author? Come on Come on! Those who give negative reviews are people with twisted hearts who don't want to see good things in others. If you think the author's writing is not good, you don't have to read it. It's good to have novels that you can read. And they go out of their way to give negative reviews.
I also think it looks great, why isn't it rated high?
The novel is really well written, there is no exaggeration, it seems to be more realistic and realistic! Come on!
