Looking for Imperial Exam Stories with No Romance! Absolutely No Romance!!!
I want to read books similar to "Armed with the Famous Ministers System, I Disguise Myself as a Man in Ancient Times." Please do not recommend anything with a pairing. I just want a no-pairing novel, sisters. No ambiguous romantic scenes either.

A Collection of Shota Stories
This list is mainly a roundup of related books. I've made it a question so others can easily add relevant titles. Please don't repeat recommendations; if you have anything to add, try to do so in the comments. Ideally, recommend just one book per reply and add a description. If you want to recommend several books, give each one its own reply.
The Male Lead Has a Brother, and They’re Both Brother-Con, No Heroine
No Romance, Imperial Exam Stories, No Cross-Dressing, Preferably Starting in Childhood
I want books like The Farmer's Imperial Exam Journey: My Dad Turns Out to Be the Ultimate Study Machine. Why are imperial exam novels almost always about women disguised as men? I'm okay with a woman becoming a man, but I can't handle an imperial exam story where she's just pretending to be one!
A Laid-Back Male Lead, No Female Lead
No female lead! No female lead! No female lead!!! Preferably something already completed.
Looking for a Male-POV Child-Rearing Story with a Little Boy and No Romance

A Youthful Appearance Is Fine, Just Don't Make It Too Heavy or Uncomfortable to Read
I just want to read a story with a young protagonist, but please don't keep repeating the same things. I'm tired of stories that endlessly harp on how cute the protagonist is or how everyone dotes on them. The ones I've come across make me feel just as uncomfortable as those early baby-talk stories.
I’ve Run Out of Books. Any Novels with Gripping Openings That Keep You Reading?
Male protagonist, not women's fiction. No melodrama. Ideally, he's out causing trouble. I'm looking for something with an interesting, niche premise. No cultivation fantasy, no transmigration to ancient times, no reborn or transmigration business stories, and no courtyard-house stories. I'm sick of all those.

Hehe, as funny as ever. Yihe selling Yimiao's looks for money really cracked me up. What a great brother! [Thumbs up] It's the same familiar formula: funny, heartwarming, and occasionally a stab in the heart ("spitting blood" meme). I'm already working hard to save up gold coins to tip people. I used to hate watching ads, but now I watch 10 or even 20 of them, even if they're just like the "I'll earn money to support you" meme.
The author's writing style is good; it's very sweet when it's sweet, and very angsty when it's angsty. (There is...) I feel sorry for Chang Shengcai's death, but I also think that given his family and personality, this ending is a relief for him. But I really can't accept the Feng family and Yi Miao thing.
I mentioned several plot points that gave me different perspectives, so I'll discuss them in segments. I had previously watched it once on another account (in March), but that account was abandoned and deleted, so the notes weren't copied over. Therefore, I'm rewatching it on this account.
It satisfied my desire to be a main character without a romantic pairing, and I also found myself shipping Yihe and Xuezhi. I love them so much! It's "You are the only special one in my eyes," sharing life and death, not grieving the pain of separation, but fearing only being apart. No matter what world they're in, they are special to each other, always drawn to one another.
It's super good! Every character is so well-developed, they feel like real people with flesh and blood. I hope the author keeps updating, and if this book is finished and a new one starts, I'll definitely read it!!! I love it!!! 😘
Well, when I'm happy, I'm incredibly happy; when I cry, it's truly a steady stream of tears. The themes of family and friendship are well depicted. The last part about He and Youcai is amazing, I love it, hahaha. Love is being sent! ~Biubiu~
It's really good! The author is also very active, but just too lazy. Even asking them to update 66 times a day wouldn't work. [Smirk][Smirk][Smirk][Smirk][Smirk][Smirk][Smirk][Smirk]
The classmates of Yimiao and Yizhai must all be sweet, especially Changshengcai. I just saw them releasing sky lanterns, and Changshengcai's wish was for good health. The lanterns were then smashed by Sangbiao. I feel like this is going to be a tragedy. Author, please tell me, are they all alright? I don't want any tragedy, waaaaaah!
Excellent! The familiar taste, the familiar recipe ε٩(๑> ₃ <)۶з It hasn't caught up yet. But even just watching this part is very interesting. Of course, there are also occasional sharp moments. Not too many. I'll come back and add a comment after I finish watching it.
Alright, alright, you've successfully evolved into a knife spirit! 🙂🤦
