Chasing the Dream of the Pastoral Life in Muye

Imperial Exams, Rural Life, Children, Smart Characters, No Dumbing Down, and Real History

Ideally, something set in the Ming dynasty. That one about Zhu Qiniu was pretty good.

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.

A Man Transmigrates into an Ancient-Era Farmer’s Son and Rises Through the Imperial Exams

There's also a high-born young lady who loves him back. One wife, no harem, no System, no golden finger, and no planes or cannons, please.
