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.

The characters are very vivid, especially the character of the eldest brother is very charming, and the interaction between the protagonist and his relatives is also very warm, but some plots are relatively cliché, such as a family of brothers who were each accepted as apprentices by a great scholar, a miraculous doctor, and a powerful martial arts guard, and also met the prince; the best is stupid and bad, but this I can tolerate it, but what makes people speechless is that the protagonist plagiarizes ancient poems. In fact, I am not opposed to plagiarism, but the use of ancient poems must be consistent with the character's experience and age. The 8-year-old protagonist wrote "When you are drunk, you don't know the sky is on the water, and the boat is full of clear dreams, overwhelming the stars." He was praised by everyone, and he also won the top poetry... Uh...
It's quite good-looking. Although he has no father or mother, his eldest uncle and aunt treat him as their own son, and his grandparents also love him. Although his third uncle and fourth uncle are top-notch, they separated early and have nothing to do with him. I have read Chapter 139 and I am taking a blind guess. The male protagonist may be an old friend of his teacher Mr. An, and the life experience of the male protagonist's mother may not be simple. Dad disappeared, maybe he will come back alive later. Now the story is getting more and more exciting and there is more and more suspense. Looks good, update soon!
I like it so far, it's a very heart-warming story, and some of the plots are also very exciting. Watching them go all the way, I just hope that if there is a single heroine in the later stage, I hope to put a background board. Don't write about love and love, various descriptions of the heroine's unique personality and appearance, and the same old stereotype of getting admitted to Shengjing and marrying from a good family, vulgar The plot is all about men, or there may be more female protagonists. Anyway, the main thing is career and family. At present, the one named Lin is definitely the female protagonist, but I don't want to write too much about her. I hope the author will change it a lot. Many readers don't like the female protagonist when they see it. In addition, the author, please give it a thumbs up and like it. The writing is very good so far. Don't be ruined by the female protagonist.
The writing is really good, the content is normal and not exaggerated, and the characters including the male protagonist and the supporting actor are all very good. I really like to read more detailed plot stories, but the daily life is not written as a chronicle. I really like it. I even hope that the male protagonist will grow up slowly. I recommend watching it.
It's a good, warm family. Although they have some very good relatives, my grandma and grandpa are decisive enough to cut off the family when it's time to do so, and they're not partial people. The master and apprentice get along very well, and it's very warm. The eldest brother, Mr. Bai, and the prince are all good people, but the development is too slow. It has been more than 230 chapters. The male protagonist is still 6 years old and has not celebrated the New Year. I can only say that the eldest brother's writing is so good. He feels that the girl from the Wei family is not worthy of him. The family lives on the dowry left by his deceased wife. A group of soldiers thanked the prince for a gift that cost 500 Wen. A group of people pooled their money to buy it, including some who could not afford a wife. Miss Wei's grandmother was seriously ill and couldn't buy any corn or rice. The shopkeeper didn't even have a handful to spare, and he couldn't be said to be from a powerful family. It's obvious that your daughter has taken a liking to her eldest brother, brought you food, invited you to his family dinner, and started to manipulate her. The prince also gave a gift to the male protagonist's family, 30-year-old ginseng, and the family even said that the ginseng is in human form [face covering] Lu Shuixian has been attracted to her since chapter 270. Both families are willing to get engaged, but they haven't gotten engaged until more than 800 chapters. This is too slow.
The power of the plot is really powerful. In the ancestor worship part, if the bad guys have divine help, everyone around the protagonist will be absent at the critical moment. They will be knocked unconscious and kidnapped. Then the protagonist is also very brave. With a small frame of 8 years old, he can kill a strong man underwater with a small pair of scissors, and he can do it alone. He took away an unconscious adult woman and was able to make a piece of wooden paper with his bare hands (or with a pair of scissors?)... And then finally introduced the "Man in the Mountain" to successfully enter the story of the rebellion of the dead soldiers... Anyway, after this scene, the 8-year-old daily life of the protagonist suddenly became unbearable, and he left a comment.
It's really good-looking. There are some minor flaws here and there, but they can be ignored. It's 400,000 words long now. The male protagonist has just grown a year older and is only nine years old. It feels like it will take a long time to go to court and get a wife. [Hold face][Hold face][Hold face]
It's a very humane family. Dalang's planning for Xiaoliu is commendable for his foresight. The protagonist's first pot of gold is selling hairpins. I hope it will be different from the previous time-travel dramas, and not the kind of business that is open and close, and omnipotent. It's not bad to read only a few dozen chapters now. Let's see how it goes in the future.
It's quite good to watch, the prince is very good, the characters around the protagonist are all pretty good, the appearance of the miracle doctor is the punchline, and the bad thing right now is the suspected heroine. The eldest brother helped the daughter of the Wei family, and then the daughter of the Wei family fell in love with the eldest brother and got married. The second brother saved Xu Guogong's granddaughter, and then Xu Guogong's granddaughter fell in love with the second brother and got engaged. According to this routine, little Qilin rescued the Lin family's daughter. The Lin family's daughter has already fallen in love, and they may not be together in the end. Don't follow this routine, and there is no emotional foreshadowing of the protagonist. They are all the daughters of the Lin family. It is also good without CP.
The book is well-written, witty and interesting, and some minor flaws are innocuous. But I didn't expect the ratings to be so low, and those crappy ones would be on the hot recommendation and high-scoring lists. Gee, luckily I discovered this book by accident.
