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!
Woman Reincarnated as a Man!!!

Looking for books like *Siheyuan: Uncle Yi Has a Son*. Something along these lines.

Very good-looking, an imperial examination book for a poor family. The male protagonist was born in a farmer's house after a miscarriage. His mother gave birth to five daughters before he had a son at the age of 36. The male protagonist is smart and not a child prodigy, but he studied hard and became a flower boy at the age of 18. The following is a step-by-step description of the male protagonist's promotion to an official. It is worth recommending [smile]
For me, a ten-year-old bookworm, it is really good and super good-looking. This book makes people not irritable but makes them feel good after reading it. There is no messy nonsense. I think this book gets a 9.8 Review score.
He is good-looking. He was born in his mother's womb. From a peasant boy, he took the imperial examination and became an official step by step. He has space and a brain with a photographic memory. There are people as smart as him, and there are control groups. He has always been sober and knows how to choose what is best for him.
Personally, I think it's good that the author didn't rely too much on superpowers. After all, the male protagonist relies on hard work and real abilities instead of relying on external things. It's not good to rely too much on superpowers. Some novels rely on superpowers to solve everything smoothly, which is not conducive to inspiring and guiding people. If everyone wants to take shortcuts and get lucky, the world will be unbalanced. In comparison, this novel is more realistic and well written.
Very nice looking and very comfortable overall. There is no irritating plot, which is very rare in the genre I watch. Other authors will create some irritating plots for the sake of explosive points, and then slap them in the face later, so... I am tired of watching it. Moreover, the protagonist created by the author felt very real, plain, and comfortable to me. After reading this book, I... Felt calm and happy. Although I have only read Chapter 70 now, I can't help but comment on it. Really recommended.
It's very well written. Li Wenshan's plot is pretty good, but it always seems like something is missing. I've also read a novel called Hanmen Guizi before. This novel is quite similar, but I also hope that the protagonist doesn't have many concubines.
How should I put it? It feels like the author is the protagonist experiencing time travel and growing up in the story. In fact, in many places, you can tell at a glance that the author still has a lot of room for growth. However, the details of the protagonist's growth are written in a down-to-earth and progressive manner, without blindly magnifying the golden finger, sober and hard-working. But what I learned from the author is that words of modest praise are very suitable for the workplace. When you receive praise, praise the emperor (boss) for knowing people and making good use of them, praise the chief officer (superior) for introducing and giving guidance, praise colleagues for their cooperation, everyone will receive a share of the credit, it is like a sedan chair, everyone will carry it, and your career will naturally be harmonious and smooth.
I thought there was a cheat, but it turned out that it had nothing to do with time travel. It was very realistic for a boy from a poor family to be promoted step by step. Regarding the content of the ancient imperial examination, it shows that the author still has some knowledge. If you are reading a cool article, I suggest you not to fall into the trap.
The writing of this book is very good, the plot is very well connected, and the personal experience of the protagonist is very real. I have caught up with the latest chapter, and I hope the author will continue to work hard to write better chapters.
[Smile] [Smile] [Smile] [Smile] [Smile] [Smile] It's good to watch. The plot is not cookie-cutter, and it doesn't deliberately highlight the image of the protagonist. It doesn't give the male protagonist too much aura as the protagonist. There aren't many emotional scenes, but there are highlights. The male protagonist is dedicated to his career, and he is not arrogant and has an understanding of his own abilities.
