Recommend Good Imperial Exam Fics With a Morally Upright Male Lead, Whether He Comes From a Poor or Aristocratic Family
I don't want one where they get married right at the beginning. I want it to start when they're children.
No Romance, Imperial Exam Stories, No Cross-Dressing, Preferably Starting in Childhood
I want books like The Farmer's Imperial Exam Journey: My Dad Turns Out to Be the Ultimate Study Machine. Why are imperial exam novels almost always about women disguised as men? I'm okay with a woman becoming a man, but I can't handle an imperial exam story where she's just pretending to be one!

Ideally, something set in the Ming dynasty. That one about Zhu Qiniu was pretty good.
Transcribing Famous Works with Taste
I'm looking for novels by a literary copycat, set in ancient times, the Republican era, or modern times. The lead can be male or female. I'd like something with a bit more taste. I'm tired of stories where they just write pop songs or shoot commercial films, or come up with some lines like, “One petal, two petals, three or four petals.” Are you telling me Han Yu, Su Shi, Du Fu, and Lu Xun never existed?
High-Quality Stories About Transmigrating to Ancient Times

I read it overnight, and I hope I won't write too much about the heroine or the heroine. This is a career story, so no matter how many heroines there are, they can be dealt with in one stroke.
The current progress is Chapter 176 The overall personal experience is good, but there are many small problems, which are quite jarring to watch. For example, the use of Qijue in Qilu, repeated words in couplets and other literary skills are not enough, and the care for the family after becoming a scholar is not as good as that of the concierge who bought it, and the price collapse after changing the map, etc. If you don't mind these minor flaws, it's still worth watching [laughing] Currently 208 chapters Catching a son-in-law under the official list is a bit poisonous. It is so beautiful to imagine a 14-year-old scholar uncovering tiles from a house in the capital, climbing over eaves and walls, and chasing and fighting with his guards. There is also a drama at the end of the next chapter, the author is narcissistic and awesome, and the key is that a lot of people like it. This taste is so right, online articles are also popular! It is reasonable to suspect that either the author has changed, or the author has let himself go. Chapter 210, okay, my hunch is correct! The protagonist in this chapter directly transforms into a pig brother and licks the girl. Seeing his brother getting married, his heart is ready to have three wives and four concubines? There are a lot of girls around me, and there were so many ladies in the poetry club before, but they didn't take a serious look at her. Now this change is too indirect! After reading the chapter titles, I started to show off frequently and get slapped in the face. Chapter 218: Grandpa's status as a general, the general of the Northern Conquest, and the governor of Youzhou. The previous grandpa sold himself to give money to the old army? Want your daughter to marry a country man? You said that because your grandson is so outstanding, it makes sense for your grandfather to go from seclusion to the world. But there is such a huge gap, which only makes the Queen Mother and others suffer. Could it be that grandpa favors sons over daughters? [Eat melon]
It's good to read. The previous book, The Great Journey, was also very good. I hope this one can be updated soon. I have read a lot of imperial examination papers. Not many are organized and rhythmic. The author is of good quality and well written. It is worth reading.
[Laughs] Come on, author. It's very interesting. The plot is relatively compact. One blind spot is that at this time, the protagonist has the most soldiers in the north. The father of the protagonist's daughter-in-law is the second most powerful soldier. The emperor is also very smart. Don't you worry that Wei Da can't be removed?
Well, it looks good, but I like the single female protagonist [ Melon] [ Eat Melon ] [ Eat Melon ] It's not my mother. I'm so drunk with beauty. If no one cares, no one will care. Then just leave me alone, okay? I was just expressing my thoughts, so I didn't say anything here. It was because the protagonist said in the book that he would take concubines in the future, so I thought there were multiple female protagonists. Isn't this quite normal? So I didn't say that ancient novels must have a single female protagonist, so I gave a four-star rating to inoculate those who like single female protagonists. What's the matter? It's not like ancient novels don't have single female protagonists.
To be honest, the writing is good, the characters are described very delicately, and at least the early and middle stages are very enjoyable to read. However, there are inevitably some artistic processing of the novel, such as the existence of the "Northern Enemy". The existence of the Northern Enemy has never been a problem for the farming civilization that cannot be defeated, but a question of cost and benefit. For the ancient farming civilization with low productivity and transportation capacity, the grassland has always been a burden of occupation and governance rather than an invincible one. But overall, it is a good book. Gold in the Tomato Pit is a bit too much, but the beauty is reasonable, gentle and delicate, and it has flaws but does not hide the beauty.
I have read Chapter 200 so far, and I will briefly share some of my opinions. In terms of content, Tomato is a good book and can be said to be readable. Friends who like this type and don't recommend flaws can take a look. A lot of the content has certain basis, but not much, and some of it has been actually checked by the author. The character of the protagonist must have a photographic memory, but why in his previous life, as a rural college graduate who had been running Didi for many years, could he know so many things? It's not reasonable to set up this character. Even if you arrange a system for him, he will look very weak [face covering] Later, I read the introduction and it seemed that it was six yuan for passing the exam. Many people were also disgusted with this question. They said that there were only a few such things in history, and then said that it was impossible for a farmer to get six yuan without a background. But judging from the protagonist's background, it's entirely possible Finally, this is an article like this. Don't delve too deeply into the prices or other details in it. After all, it is an imaginary historical article, not a pure historical article. There is no need to be so sophisticated. If you nitpick, you will make yourself uncomfortable. I saw the imperial examination. It can be said that passing six yuan is inevitable. Whoever comes next will have to pass six yuan today. The court needs this six yuan. The arrangement is quite reasonable.
This is a relatively slow-burning novel in the early stages, but it also leads to a more interesting life. It has a great sense of gradual growth and a sense of immersion. Because the title is Imperial Examination in Chinese, the main text is about the Imperial Examination. My sister is very cute!
It feels like the best imperial examination article I have read in a while, and the main character is very well designed, which is my favorite. The most important thing is that there is no intrigue and conspiracy! ! I hope there won't be any later
First of all, it is worth recommending to friends who like to read Confucian and Daoist literature. The author is really lazy, and the introduction is really simple. I read the introduction when I first read it, and then I went out directly. When I turned it over again, I saw a lot of reviews, so I tried to read them. Oh my god! As a result, I watched it all night. First of all, the author's writing style is really good, especially the first few chapters. Mr. Wang's journey along the way seems ordinary, but in fact the author carefully designed the characters. From the young and old of the Wang family to the Chai family, all the characters are very vivid. Especially when I saw Mr. Bupleurum taking Mr. Wang to the school [like], I was very touched. The four little ones who came to the academy later... I rarely write comments, and I can't express a lot of what I want to express. I wrote so many words today. I really like this type of novel. After reading the Confucianist Fang Han for the first time, I really liked the type of novel Wen Chao Gong. I have read several books before, and many of them either collapsed or eunuched in the later stages. I hope more people will support the author and not allow the novel to be updated normally. Come on
