Real Political Intrigue Fiction: Nothing Shallow or Brain-Burning, That’s My Taste
Reading this will make you wonder whether you have a brain. Highly, highly recommended. Everyone is smart, and the foreshadowing runs throughout the whole story. Anyway, I didn't understand a thing. It's just satisfying from start to finish. All I can say is the author's writing is insanely good.
Who Deserves to Be Called an Authority in Imperial Examination Stories?
Looking for books like You Were Supposed to Be the Young Master's Page, but You Passed the Imperial Exam for Him (The Poor Scholar Who Placed First). Any gender is fine, as long as it's satisfying and makes sense!

Books That Seem Ordinary but Turn Out to Be Masterpieces
Some books get hyped into popularity, while some masterpieces are overlooked or buried. But everyone has different tastes, shaped by age, environment, and personality. Everyone has their own personal 9.9-rated masterpiece.
Any Low-Key Novels Focused on Everyday Life?
No System, and not too much face-slapping.

This book is really good. I don't want it to be updated or rated low, just because there are fewer people reading it. The author is a very high-level person, with a strong chest and ink in his belly. It's worth seeing for everyone. The structure and articles are very smooth and compact.
It's a super good-looking article. I like this kind of heartwarming family imperial examination essay the most. The imperial examination essays I read before were all inspirational essays about peasants who are missing a father or a young mother. Even if the male protagonist finally gets the top prize and changes the fate of his family, he has no family members to share the honor with him. However, in this article, the parents are healthy and sensible, the brother and sister-in-law are united and friendly, the nieces and nephews are cute, and the most important thing is that the whole family does not have any top-notch characters. Five stars! The author writes fluently. I like your article, keep it up! I'm following updates every day.
This book is good. It can be seen that the author has a very high cultural level and has a good understanding of the ancient imperial examination system. It is a rare cultural book. I recommend it to friends who are short of books.
The author has written very well so far. Each character has a delicate inner story. There are no golden fingers, ginseng and other opportunities, and he becomes rich little by little... Study hard to take the imperial examination! The family is becoming more and more united and trusts the male protagonist, everything is slowly getting better [Like][Like][Like]
A very interesting ancient daily novel. There are no disgusting manipulations for the so-called plot conflicts. The warm tone of the story is always online. It does not suppress the protagonist's IQ, so that the protagonist's brain is always online. Thumbs up 👍
To be honest, I don't watch much male videos, but I really didn't watch this one at all. I kept reading chapter by chapter, and at the end of Lu Yang's extra chapter, I really cried to death, my eyes and nose hurt so much [Like] [Like]
The early stage is good, so give it a five-star support. I personally like this kind of slow-flowing long article. I feel happy when I read it, and I have been waiting for the protagonist to take the imperial examination and win glory for the country. (Looking at the introduction) But the appearance of the heroine made me flinch immediately, and jumped directly from 133 to the latest chapters. I secretly miss you (give a gift, the elders are optimistic). Although I understand that the author did not say that it is a CP-free article, I still really want to see the male protagonist be beautiful and strong alone! Mountains and rivers meet, and meeting is fate. I will take a step back first. Goodbye by fate [sending heart]
Good book, the details are controlled very realistically
I have been reading novels for more than ten years. I feel that this author's writing is very good. I really feel great that I can write the test questions so well. It's also comfortable to watch. I also learned a lot of knowledge. Make people feel that reading is useful. Also, the protagonist's character makes one not tired but still motivated.
It's very interesting. Anyway, I quite like the character of the main character. Do everything calmly, advance and retreat in a measured manner. The way he conducts himself is also very comfortable. I'm not very good at summarizing it, but it's quite interesting anyway.
