Name: A Humble Scholar in Commoner's Clothes
Author: Wounded by the Fading Blood

Synopsis

He went up the mountain to look for a sheep, accidentally fell off a cliff, and woke up to find himself reborn as a baby in an unknown dynasty. He looked around and discovered that his family was dirt poor: they had too little to eat, too little to wear, and lived in a mud house where rain poured outside and dripped inside. He had an older sister and a younger sister. He had thought that, with his modern soul, he could surely make a brilliant life for himself, but he never expected fate to deal him such a cruel hand. Dear readers, see how Ling Yun makes his own legend in this era!

Imperial-Examination Stories About Scholars From Poor Families

I’ve been seriously looking for books about impoverished scholars taking the imperial exams, but none of them quite satisfy me. The writing is actually good, but the characters are too meek. Are there any with strong personalities, where people give as good as they get? It drives me crazy when characters swallow their grievances just because of gossip or the pressure of their elders’ status and family ties.
