Looking for Ancient Alternate-History Imperial Examination Stories, No Female Leads Disguised as Men!!!
I’ve been in a reading slump for ages. I want an ancient-world imperial examination novel with no male lead, where the female lead is focused on her career. Since it’s a fictional setting, authors, think bigger: let women take the exams too! Don’t have her transmigrate as a man or disguise herself as one to sit the exams.

This story focuses on the imperial examination system and has no special advantages or plot devices. Although the protagonist lives in a fictional dynasty, I have done my research to make it as close to ancient life as possible. Any shortcomings are welcome to be pointed out.
I really like the protagonist's character design. Although I'd prefer a story without a romantic pairing, the author has already stated it's a single female lead, so I respect that. There's no constant fighting with difficult characters from the moment the protagonist transmigrates, and no constant encounters with villains.
Honestly, this is well-written! The author is highly skilled, so I don't understand why the rating is so low. Are the Tomato editors blind? Why not recommend such a good work instead of constantly showing us garbage? Are you being paid off? I hope you'll stop this sloppy work and recommend excellent works to us with a conscience, instead of tarnishing the Tomato platform!
The early chapters were light and heartwarming, and the characters were well-developed, making for a pleasant read. However, later on, after the protagonist's exam, when he felt frustrated, falsely accused, and unfairly labeled, I was speechless 😅. The people around the protagonist were either excessively kind or excessively malicious (towards the protagonist). It felt like there was a lack of ordinary people. 🍉
Overall, it's alright. I particularly liked the first part, before the end of the imperial examinations. After becoming an official, there's no sign of his accumulating good fortune; all I see are his rivals constantly courting disaster to create opportunities for him to rise to power. There's also no mention of any connection with his former close clan. And after his rebellion, he magically seizes the throne.
It's quite well-written; the protagonist is very low-key. I hope you continue writing diligently.
Five stars! There aren't enough to go around! 🥺🥺🥺
That's very well written, keep it up!
It's pretty good, it's my type.
