Six-for-Six in the Imperial Exam, Aiming for the Top

Historical Fiction Set in an Imaginary Ancient World, No System

Looking for Male-Oriented Farming Novels

I mainly like historical stories about developing agriculture, becoming a great landowner, and doing business. It took forever to find a few that weren't misleadingly packaged, and they all turned out to be System stories... I don't mind a golden finger, as long as it's not too outrageous. Please recommend some farming novels, whether fantasy, cultivation, or historical.

Any Ancient Imperial-Examination Novels with the Protagonist Reborn as a Baby?

Looking for a Cool Fictional Historical Novel About the Protagonist's Time Travel

Ancient-Era Imperial Exam Novels That Aren’t All the Same

Highly Rated Imperial-Examination and Historical Novels, Reborn Stories Are Fine, Completed Works Only

Either a male or female lead is fine. No golden finger, but the protagonist should have a space. I really can’t stand protagonists with too many plot-armoring advantages.

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.

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.
