A Woman in a Man's Body: Changing the World in Ancient Times

[Female-to-Male + Imperial Examinations + Fame Across the Land + Immortalized in History + Usurp the Throne]

When other people transmigrate to ancient times, they either end up in wealthy families and thrive, or, at worst, as a farmer's son with a rags-to-riches story. But when Zhao Chen transmigrates to the past, he goes straight into survival mode from hell. Even if this is a fictional ancient setting, surely things shouldn't be this bad?

Zhao Chen could put up with being a woman in a man's body.

He could put up with being an orphan living in a bare house with his widowed mother.

But he couldn't stand his mother having to risk her life over 360 taels of silver.

Damn it, even glancing at a pretty girl too long could get him executed. Zhao Chen absolutely couldn't put up with that.

This world was a complete disaster. Maybe it should just be destroyed.

“What? If it gets destroyed, I'll die too?”

Zhao Chen, who was terrified of dying: “How about we make a few changes instead? It doesn't have to be destroyed.”

This is a romance novel for women, so of course there's a love story.

Heroine: She shows how much she likes the hero through her actions, but refuses to admit it no matter what.

Hero: He comes up with all sorts of excuses for falling for the heroine, but refuses to admit that he was simply attracted to her looks at first sight.
