I'm Already Fifty, So Why Does the Princess Still Want to Marry Me?

Shen Song woke up to find himself in Great Yu, where he had become a poor, fifty-year-old scholar.

Shen Song was dumbfounded, but the situation left him even more stunned: his two sons were both thirty and had repeatedly failed the exams. Worse, his eldest son had jumped into a river the previous night.

Not only was the family destitute, but all three men were terrible students. Faced with this situation, Shen Song could only say, "I transmigrated into the wrong person, didn't I?"

There was no choice. If his sons couldn't pass the exams, their father would have to take them instead.

Once Shen Song sat the exams, he took the examination hall by storm.

He passed the provincial exam as the top candidate, passed the metropolitan exam... and rose steadily through the ranks until he reached the highest office!

Eldest son Shen Conglong: "Dad, weren't you a country bumpkin? How did you pass the provincial exam as the top candidate?"

Younger son Shen Conghu: "You promised to come with me to meet a potential match. Why did she choose my dad instead?"

Princess: "Shen Song, if you don't marry me, I'll make you regret it!"

Princess Consort: "Shen Song, come over here and let me step on you."

Empress: "Traitor, what am I supposed to do about the child in my belly?"

Shen Song: I only wanted to pass the provincial-level imperial exam at first. How did I get carried away?
