Looking for Imperial Exam Stories with No Romance! Absolutely No Romance!!!
I want to read books similar to "Armed with the Famous Ministers System, I Disguise Myself as a Man in Ancient Times." Please do not recommend anything with a pairing. I just want a no-pairing novel, sisters. No ambiguous romantic scenes either.

I'm looking for books like With the Famous Minister System, I Disguise Myself as a Man in Ancient Times.
Period Drama: Quietly Snagging Hidden Treasures
Infrastructure Building, Female Lead, Can Become Emperor
I'd like to read books similar to After Reaching Max Level in the Wasteland, I Transmigrated to a Famine Year and Became Empress. Whether there is a romantic pairing doesn't matter. The female lead's surroundings can't be filled entirely with men, especially stories where all the soldiers are men. That won't do! The people she employs shouldn't all be men either. Women should be represented in every profession too.
A Woman Disguised as a Man Takes the Imperial Exams and Rises to the Top: Feel-Good, No Couple
I'm looking for books like *Disguised as a Man, I Become a Great Minister in a Male-Oriented Imperial Exam Novel (Rising to the Clouds, Imperial Exams)*. Ideally, it's complete, and the protagonist must be The Outcast: second only to the emperor and above everyone else. No rebellion. They can be ruthless or noble and magnanimous, but no romance.
Books Like Xu Yue
I’m looking for books like "With a Famous Minister System, I Disguise Myself as a Man in Ancient Times". Are there any stories like Xu Yue’s? No Mary Sues, no brainless or idiotic villains, just clever schemes and political intrigue.
Stories About Poor Scholars Passing the Imperial Exams in Ancient Times
Set during the Ming and Song dynasties. Highly rated, and preferably complete.
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!
Please Recommend Historical Romance! I’m Out of Books to Read~
No rebirth or transmigration.

Any Stories Like Ancient-Era Women Taking the Imperial Exams in Disguise as Men?
Looking for books similar to I Have the Famous Ministers System, and I Disguise Myself as a Man in Ancient Times. Something along those lines, or a wish-fulfillment story. No romance-obsessed characters, and I don't want a story where the female lead is strong but the male lead is even stronger. No-couple stories are fine too.
Woman Disguised as a Man, High IQ, Political Intrigue, Ancient Setting
Both leads are strong and devoted. It'd be even better if the heroine were stronger.
My Lords, Could You Recommend Some Female-Oriented Novels About Court Intrigue and the Imperial Exams?
A Clever, Calm Female Lead Who Plans Every Move
Are there any female leads with exceptionally high intelligence who plan everything meticulously and always stay clear-headed? She should only do what she needs to do, never show off her talents for attention, and be morally ambiguous. She absolutely must not turn into a self-sacrificing savior later on.
Imperial Exam Novels, Must Be Good~

I came from another book the author is currently writing, and I feel that Axi and Achu have very different personalities, haha. Axi is carefree and unrestrained, while Achu is more calm and dignified. They're both great. The author has made great progress in her new book, keep it up!
I came back from reading the author's new book, eager to see what Feng Zhuangyuan was like, but I didn't expect the two books to be so different. The character portrayals, plot design, cultural depth, and values are all completely different; I can see the author's personal growth 🤭 In the new book, I thought Feng Zhuangyuan would be a shrewd and profound character, but he's actually more lively…
This book is essentially a prequel to the author's other book (the female protagonist is Ru Chu), and it's clear that the author's writing style is constantly improving. Compared to the other book written in 2014, the writing style of this book is quite different. This book is not as detailed, and the writing style is also quite different, but it's still a good prequel.
Good, I really like this kind of book. She's smart and ambitious, and compared to other types of time-traveling women, she's thoughtful and career-oriented. (Sometimes reading about time-traveling women is too tiring, with them rushing around to do their jobs, arguing with awful people, raising children, cooking, and setting up for the need to buy things). I hope the sequels will be different. Keep it up!
The book is really great, it's surprising that the rating isn't very high, everyone should give it a good score!!! It's not about women dressing as men, but about allowing women to take the imperial examinations, which is a point that distinguishes it from other stories about women dressing as men, and it's very well written!
No wonder it's so good! (* / ∇ \ *) I only realized after reading a small part that the writing style was similar to another book that it was by the same author. I recommend the other book, "The First Female Scholar of Shengjing is the Second Scholar's Divorced Wife"—that one is also good! (* / ∇ \ *) This is considered a sequel to Feng hope's work. [Learned it][Learned it][Learned it]❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is my favorite story about a character's rise to success through the imperial examinations. It's one of the best written of all, not at all melodramatic, but realistic, vivid, and captivating. I hope the author continues to write well; I'll read it slowly. [Learned something new]
So far, it's been very interesting and engaging, quite enjoyable to read! It features the protagonist's transmigration advantage, and all the attention is focused on her. With so many handsome and wealthy men always ready to pounce, she's practically a winner in life. "Dating at school, just ask if you love them or not!"
Hmm, how should I put it? After reading "The Strongest Female Prime Minister," I couldn't stop thinking about it, and then I frantically searched for similar stories. Wrong turn! Wrong turn! It's clearly not the same genre, but I won't be satisfied until I finish watching it! [Staring emoji] I only enjoy watching mind-bending, high-IQ shows because my brain isn't sharp enough. Even though I stumbled upon this by accident, I'll give it full marks for my hard work.
It was good, but it ended too quickly; it wasn't enough, not enough at all. The male lead being Su Cheng was quite unexpected. It was good overall; the whole book revolved around the phrase, "After all, everyone has their own choices." Li Xun couldn't let go of his stubbornness and died in the end (quite a pity), Shunzi achieved her dream, and Yao Qing accomplished her great task; everyone had…
