Starting My Imperial Exam Journey as a County Magistrate's Son

Zhao Chengyu was an art-school reject and library administrator with every buff imaginable. After one drunken night, he discovered that he had become the eight-year-old legitimate eldest son of a county magistrate in the Great Zheng Dynasty.

He had thought he was about to enjoy a carefree, happy life, but then he found out his magistrate father doted on his concubine and neglected his mother, who, for her part, had quite a temper.

Fine, then. It all starts with studying.

He would outwit the vixen of a stepmother in his household and put his two younger sisters in their place.

Then he would rise all the way to become the Great Zheng Dynasty’s top scholar, staking his reputation as both a library administrator and an art-school reject!
