Ancient Setting, Imperial Exams, Not from a Poor Family, No System, Transmigration
The protagonist should have sound values, pass the imperial examinations, and devote himself to serving the people. He should be decisive while still considering the greater good. One female lead only. He should take revenge without harming the innocent. When discussing poetry, he shouldn’t come across as pretentious. Success should be hard-won: others shouldn’t be crushed by a cheat just because they’ve studied for ten years. The story should explore big ideas.

The protagonist should not be sanctimonious, and the novel should not be mindless.

So far, there are no major issues. It looks great.
It's pretty good. It's the kind of plot I like, and I also like the harmonious family dynamics. If you can maintain this level of writing quality, I hope I won't abandon the story. Keep it up! ^0^
Good book, author please update more often. This book is very immersive, but many of the ideas and concepts could be written more realistically, instead of being glossed over. Furthermore, 120 coins a day for a day laborer is too much. The monthly allowance for palace maids and eunuchs in the imperial palace is only 2 taels, which is equivalent to 2,000 coins. Wouldn't a day laborer from a peasant family earn 3 taels a month?
It's well-written and makes you want to keep reading. Author, please keep updating! Looking forward to it…
It looks really nice. I hope to buy more clothes for my parents, and a big gold bracelet for my mom. Haha.
Well written! Not too exaggerated! But I still prefer families with many siblings 😄 and harmonious relationships!
This book is nearing its end. Thank you to all the readers for your support and encouragement. Thank you for accompanying me throughout this book, from the very beginning to the very end. I am deeply grateful for your companionship as I write this story. This book is coming to a close. My thoughts have been a bit scattered lately, and I'm unsure how to continue writing.
This is a great novel about the imperial examination system. I hope the author doesn't introduce a female lead in the early stages.
It's amazing! I started reading it just to see what would happen, but I ended up completely engrossed! Everyone, it's incredible! I thought it was another wish-fulfillment story with a system that made the protagonist so powerful, but the protagonist's character is so wonderful and kind-hearted as he grows up step by step. 💕
I've read quite a few novels about the imperial examination system, and this male protagonist is quite interesting. He earns a little money and develops some ability before moving up the ranks and achieving more. He's a diligent student, filial to his parents, respectful to his sister-in-law, and friendly to his niece—a model young man. He's also fiercely protective of his own and always seeks revenge. Looking forward to the sequel...
