The Humble Scholar Who Passed the Highest Exam

Lin Bang transmigrates to ancient times and becomes an impoverished scholar. He is forced to take on a wife along with a pile of other burdens, but when he sees how tiny and slender she is, with her big, fluttering eyes, he finds her rather cute. He has to get his act together and make a fortune, at the very least, so his little wife won't have to share his hard life.

At first, he only wants to keep his wife from struggling alongside him. But years later, he realizes that, without even noticing, he has become a powerful figure whose influence reaches across the land.
