From Woman to Man: A Farmer’s Son’s Road to Power Through the Imperial Exams

【Female-to-male transmigration + slice of life + imperial examinations + golden finger + raising the family’s status + female lead as a supporting character】 Female doctoral student Shen Yi transmigrates to an ancient farming family after a lab accident, becoming the only son in the Shen family, with five older sisters. The good news is that, as the family’s sole hope, his parents and sisters dote on him and do whatever he says. The bad news is that he’s a sickly weakling who might drop dead at any moment if the wind so much as blows! To keep him alive, his parents sell off the family’s possessions, leaving them with only three ramshackle rooms and two acres of poor farmland. Even working day and night, they can’t make ends meet, and their lives are miserable. With no other choice, the eldest sister sells herself as a servant, the second sister is sent to be a child bride to a fool, and soon it will be the third, fourth, and fifth sisters’ turn... Eating the only egg in the whole family, Shen Yi weeps bitterly. When survival is at stake, does it really matter whether he’s a boy or a girl? He’s going to make a fortune! And in this age when everything is inferior except studying, the only way to rise above the rest is to pass the imperial examinations. Then he’ll start with a modest goal: become the top-ranked scholar, raise his family’s status, and be a strong support for his sisters! On the road to success, he’ll sweep aside every obstacle and press forward without hesitation! Later, Shen Yi rises step by step to become Chancellor Shen. He lightens taxes, reforms the examinations, develops water conservancy, and prioritizes the people’s livelihood. The emperor: I believe that a hundred years from now, Chancellor Shen will deserve a place in the Imperial Ancestral Temple!
