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!

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 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.
Looking for Historical Novels About Someone Who Transmigrates, No System
No System, please. Ideally, the protagonist keeps a low profile and builds up their strength early on.
Any Period Novels Where the Only Son Is Born Late in His Parents’ Lives?
Looking for books like *Siheyuan: Uncle Yi Has a Son*. Something along these lines. I searched and found that almost all stories set in that era have female protagonists, with hardly any male protagonists, so I wanted to ask if anyone knows of similar books. Also, preferably with fewer annoying plot points. I'm afraid I'll get halfway through and...

I really like that the male protagonist doesn't mind his own business! ! The male protagonist's thinking is really clear. In other books, the male protagonist is constantly helping relatives and brother-in-law... What should I do if things don't work out? [Send heart] If you don't feel grateful, you'll be in trouble! You need to draw clear boundaries on some things with relatives! Otherwise, others will think you deserve it!
In ancient times, people who studied martial arts and studied literature had a good body and could take the imperial examination. No matter what dynasty they were, money was definitely indispensable. In ancient and modern times, if you had money and became an official, you would not take detours.
It's okay for the time being, but I feel like the protagonist is too innocent. Whether he can survive for such a long time depends on the author's mood.
Okay, come on, the characters are capable and not pretentious, the plot is plain and pleasant, and the characters are vivid. I hope the author will keep up the good work.
In ancient times, in front of everyone outside the imperial examination room, artificial respiration was given to other candidates. The little poisonous spots in front were compared with each other. It was considered an emergency.
A very interesting imperial examination novel. The protagonist was born as an only son in a wealthy family. He didn't have to worry about money when studying. I haven't seen a character like this in a long time. The protagonist's hard work, combined with the knowledge and intelligence of two generations, made him the number one scholar in the officialdom. It is a more orthodox officialdom novel. I haven't seen such a wonderful novel in a long time. It is more pragmatic and in line with reality [smile][smile][smile][laugh][laugh][laugh]
It's nice to look at, but there are too many top quality ones, which made my breasts hurt for a while.
The writing is quite good, but sometimes it can't be too leisurely. It would be better to add a little intrigue, and the protagonist's depiction is more delicate.
It's quite satisfactory and not very humane, but I can understand it. After all, they didn't help him, but sometimes it's not a good thing to be too clear about the accounts. 100 Taels of reward for rich people
The writing is also good, and the protagonist works very hard, but the chapter on black powder cannot be produced in a short time. Higher-performance black powder is more powerful. Do you need the help of a craftsman? The firecrackers in ancient times are produced by gunpowder with low power. They have knowledge but poor hands-on ability. Gu is a young man who traveled through ancient times and has this knowledge and cognition, but it is difficult to succeed without professional craftsmen. Small comments are for the author's reference.
