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!
I'm Out of Books. Please Recommend Some Feel-Good Stories with No Romance

Unlike other imperial examination novels I've read, this one has no female lead, only political intrigue and national policies—a story of fighting for ideals and beliefs! While there are moments of illogicality, the overall framework is sound. However, I personally dislike the protagonist's mother.
I started reading this based on the synopsis, thinking it would be a funny and enjoyable read! But it wasn't; it was so frustrating! The protagonist was constantly being pushed around, with no choices of his own. Every step he took was a calculated move to ascend the throne! He wasn't as wise as the emperors in the imperial examination novels I'd read before!
I finished reading it. It's a no-romance novel, but when I got to the part where the emperor guards the country's gates and the monarch dies for the state, I got goosebumps. Every emperor was wonderful! I highly recommend it. Some people might not like the beginning, but I thought it was alright. Actually, I almost gave up on it at the beginning, but I was left wanting more towards the end!
The plot is tightly woven, creating an irresistible urge to keep watching.
Sure, it's well-written. If you don't take it too seriously, you can keep reading.
Excellent writing! Solid writing skills, well-developed characters, concise language, and a tightly woven, captivating story. The inner monologues are detailed, and the writing is clear and logical. Five-star rating! Highly recommended! Keep updating!
The male protagonist's journey has been incredibly difficult, fraught with numerous obstacles and hardships. The nation, which the late emperor and Prime Minister Lin risked their lives for (a costly endeavor), fell into the hands of the King of Zhao.
He seems like just an ordinary person, but in ancient times he would have been incredibly powerful. And why does PUA (Pick-Up Artist) seem so commonplace?
It's good, except for the female lead's somewhat abrupt appearance; otherwise, it doesn't have any major flaws.
🥺🥺🥺This is so good! Author, could you please update with 10,000 chapters right away? It'll scare me to death! 😘😘😘
