A Woman Transmigrates into a Man, and I Turn My Life Around Through the Imperial Exams

Main character: Li Yan

[Woman transmigrates as a man + Farming + Imperial examinations + Wish-fulfillment System]

Jiang Yan transmigrates into a book.

When Li Yan opens his eyes, he has left behind his happy, prosperous modern world and arrived in a strange new one.

Clearly, this new world is not kind to Li Yan. Life here is nowhere near as easy as it is in the stories.

Looking at a life of farming and land reclamation that seems to stretch endlessly before him, Li Yan wonders how he can change his fate.

Years later,

the once poor young man places first in all three imperial examinations and becomes a renowned figure at court...

He reroutes rivers, builds official roads, grows crops, and ventures overseas.

People say Li Yan must be an immortal sent down from Heaven. Otherwise, how could he have ushered in such a golden age?

Watch as he uses his own strength to build a world of his own in this new land.

P.S. Wish-fulfillment, no angst. The dynasty is fictional, so please don’t nitpick the history.

The protagonist isn’t a typical chauvinistic male lead. No one in the book is completely selfless or saintly; self-interest comes first. There may be a romantic pairing later on. If you can’t accept that, please turn back.
