Synopsis

[Imperial examinations, transmigration, an alternate setting. No System, no pocket dimension. Focused on earning a living through the examinations and passing down family values. No harem, no womanizer protagonist.] Just as Xia Wenlou had finally achieved his dream of lying flat, a car accident transported him to ancient times. For the record, he had absolutely no desire to transmigrate. And to make matters worse, it happened just as he'd made a name for himself and was starting to enjoy life. Now he was a child again, and all his hard work had gone to waste. Even worse, he arrived to find a whole mess waiting for him. A lovesick mother, a father so vicious he would even eat his own son, and a baby brother still nursing. It was hardly a life fit for anyone. After a whirlwind of action, he severed ties with his useless father, his mother got back to normal, and his adopted little brother turned out to be pretty lovable. He might as well make the best of it. He studied under a master, took the imperial examinations, and entered government service, sending everyone who had ever crossed him straight into a pit of their own making. At last, one day, he decided that his life of striving could come to an end. He submitted a petition to the emperor: “Your Majesty, I wish to retire and return to my hometown.” The emperor angrily rolled up his sleeves. “I'm already fifty and still working, and you're only forty and want to retire? Dream on!” Xia Wenlou replied, “That's easy to solve. The throne of Retired Emperor is vacant. Your Majesty might consider taking it. We could retire together, and it would make a fine story.” The emperor said, “It's not impossible.” The Crown Prince said, “As Crown Prince, if the sky falls, Father is there to hold it up. Once I'm emperor, who will hold it up for me? I firmly object.” The civil officials said, “Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of it. It's time to pick sides again and decide the fate of our families.” The military officials said, “What a nuisance. We have to adjust to a new ruler all over again. Is your throne so hot it burns your backside? One after another, you're all trying to quit and become Retired Emperors. Don't you have any sense of responsibility?”

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.

I like the male protagonist's younger brother. I started watching this because I liked this little doll. He's smart, sensible and cute. It's the baby of my dreams. The more I watch, the more boring I become. The male protagonist is just a bossy old lady, reforming all kinds of naughty children for the senior brothers, and the top scholar just solves the family's troubles.

It looks good, it looks good, and the protagonist is pretty good. I just don't know when Xia Song will die. I feel like I'm taking advantage of him. Just let him see the protagonist ascend to the high platform with his own eyes, but he can't dig out of the quagmire

Personally, I feel that the early writing is quite exciting. It's very exciting to watch the time-travel opening, quick counter-attack, and quick battle of wits. The difference from other imperial examination articles is that this book only lightly focuses on the imperial examination study section, which makes it feel like everything comes easily. After watching it, I felt that my younger brother was very cute, my mother's presence was not that great, my father-in-law was pretty good, and the plot was a bit bland later on.

This author's book is generally good. It's not easy to keep an old bookworm from giving up after reading this book. Don't be fooled by the reviews. Some books with 9 points are far worse than this book. It can be seen that the author's intentions are stronger than those written by some authors using AI.

Not bad, very readable, not wordy, straight to the point, very easy to understand. I like reading this type of novel, not the kind that specializes in quarreling.
