Meticulously Researched Historical Fiction
A twisting, suspenseful plot, a protagonist who's not an idiot, and something I can learn from while reading. Ideally, it should be close to real history.

Imperial Exam Stories, Top Scorer in All Six Exams, Genius Protagonist

Looking for Completed Stories About Someone Who Studies from Childhood and Works Their Way Through the Imperial Examinations
Looking for stories with few golden fingers, where the protagonist succeeds through hard work and studying alone. Either the protagonist is reborn or was born in ancient times, and works their way up through the imperial exams. No romance or one-on-one romance are both fine.

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.
Looking for a Wish-Fulfillment Alternate History Novel About Someone Who Transmigrates

At the very least, make him the son of a local gentry family.
Looking for Alternate-History Novels with Show-Off Poetry
If you know, you know. Something like The Best Laid Plans of a Fool, preferably not too simplistic. I can't get into those. And by The Best Laid Plans of a Fool, I mean the one by Banana, not some generic God of War Son-in-Law story. Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏
Looking for Imperial Exam Stories with No Romance! Absolutely No Romance!!!

There are some flaws in the front, but overall it is really good. It is still in a state where there is no heroine, which is really good. At first, I thought that the one who delivered medicine to the protagonist was the heroine, but because of the poor description of her and her brother, I later found out that it was a villain. It can be inferred that the author should be a single person🐶, so if you don't know how to write about relationships, try not to write or write less. This book can still be read.
It's good-looking. The further you go, the better it gets. If you don't have a golden finger, you're a good learner.
What's going on with this protagonist? He can cause a lot of trouble wherever he goes. Is this the so-called halo of a protagonist?
Rouse's writing is very good 🥺 I really don't see many imperial examination papers on Tomato. Regardless of Rouse's writing style and the subject matter, I want to support you as the new king. I just hope that there will be more of Rouse~
I was really convinced, and asked those people who took the imperial examination to take a closer look at what efficiency means. They chatted about those everyday things every day, and they had not yet taken the county exam after 100 chapters. This book is simply a masterpiece. Let's not talk about the content for the moment. The pace is really refreshing. I liked the pace of this book, so I gave it five stars from the beginning. However, there are many logical errors in it, which makes people confused, so I deducted one star. The character of the protagonist is very contradictory and makes people feel that the story is wrong, so I deducted one star. The plot behind it is very frustrating and unfamiliar, so I only have two stars left. Later on, I started to force logic, and showed kindness without any limit, which was a bit contradictory to the character, and it was very uncomfortable to watch. If he wasn't the protagonist, he would have... Hey, I don't want to say it. There is indeed a reason why the rating is not 8. Samsung still beats too many people, and it's very childlike in the back. It's a bit ridiculous to still look like this after being an official for three years. The water flows slowly, the more you look at it, the more interesting it becomes. I am narrow-minded.
It's so well written, the author is awesome!!! The protagonist is a rare good official who wholeheartedly serves the people of the world. If I had had such a good official in that era, I would have died without any regrets. This book is not like the systematic help I have read before, so I rely entirely on myself. The protagonist had a rough life in his previous life, but in this life he has realized everything, including family, studies, etc., And is invincible and beautiful!!! I hope the author will update it soon 😘😘😘
I can accept time-traveling. Other minor flaws are harmless. It's too short and not enough to read.
It's good to watch, and it will get more and more exciting later on.
This score shouldn't be so low. It's already pretty good among Tomato Exam papers. There's absolutely no problem if the quality of the paper is above 9! I hope there won't be a female protagonist. She likes to focus on her career. Another point is that the male protagonist is too tolerant of his family, but so far I haven't seen any help or feedback from his family to the male protagonist, not even much gratitude. The male protagonist went to a poor county to be the county magistrate, and ended up making a lot of money for his family. Qian's cousins and sisters didn't say anything about giving the male protagonist any money. They were enjoying the life brought by the male protagonist with peace of mind. They also didn't understand why they didn't separate the families. The whole family must have their own thoughts when they get together. Is it possible that they will all live in the male protagonist's house and be supported by the male protagonist in the future? The male protagonist has given everyone a job, but what about the male protagonist himself? What help did this group of people bring to the male protagonist? The male protagonist will want to be powerful in the future, but currently, his temper is still too soft
The author, the provincial examination can also be called the "provincial" examination. It is a test for students from the province. The first person in the examination is called Jieyuan, that is, they pass the examination. Then they go to Beijing to take the general examination. The first person in the general examination is named Huiyuan. Then dozens of people take part in the palace examination. Among those who participate in the palace examination, there are three people in the top three, number one, second place, third flower, and are awarded the title of Jinshi and the third place. A number of people in the second grade are given to those who were born as Jinshi, and a number of people in the third grade are given to those who were born as a Jinshi. It's just so-so, some places don't make sense.
