A Poor Scholar's Road to the Top Scholar Title

Imperial Exam Novel About a Poor Scholar: Male Lead With No Connections, No Transmigration, No System, One Female Lead

The heroine should be the legitimate daughter of a marquis’s household or a princess, and the hero should be aloof. I haven’t found anything on any site. I know I’m asking for a lot, but please! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

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.

Please Recommend High-Quality Historical or Alternate-History Novels with Highly Intelligent Characters

Anything is fine as long as it isn't brainless and the supporting characters don't suddenly lose all their intelligence.

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.
