Either a male or female lead is fine. No golden finger, but the protagonist should have a space. I really can’t stand protagonists with too many plot-armoring advantages.

Looking for Good Imperial Examination Stories
Looking for books like *Sage of Calligraphy? Poet Immortal? Chief Councilor? Yep, That’s All Me*. Ideally, the protagonist is born into the story or transmigrates into a child’s body, then displays their talent from a young age and becomes a genius. No CP, but everyone loves them. I’d like more focus on writing and poetry, so it’s extra satisfying to read.

The previous episodes are all very interesting. I like to watch the career plotting, but not the inexplicable emotional lines. And at first I felt that the male protagonist didn't like the female protagonist at all. It was just a bunch of family members, teachers and the emperor who wanted him to marry. I think it would be very interesting if the princess was grateful to him and helped his nephew enter the East Palace. And it's impossible to think about it. My dear, the princess is a military leader, and the male protagonist is a civil servant. If the two of them get married, let alone the nephew, who can be at ease as an emperor? It's crazy. If two such powerful people get married, then the male protagonist can become the emperor directly. And aren't the princess's consorts all in vain? It is impossible to be a powerful minister, otherwise why so many talented students are unwilling to be princes-in-law.
This book is a feast of words! The plot is as compact as a precision gear, the logic is rigorous and full of tension; the language is gorgeous yet simple, both epic and as agile as prose. Reading it is like taking a breath of spring breeze, which makes people intoxicated.
Isn't this Zhu Yuanzhang and his Liu Bowen? [Laughter and cry][Laughter and cry][Laughter and cry][Laughter and cry] At present, it seems that the male protagonist's family is a tool used to suppress the aristocratic family in the early stage. If placed in history, it will die miserably.
It is now 1:24 in the morning on September 7, 2025. I started to doze off, but I couldn't put it down this book. I cheered up and fell asleep at two o'clock. Please let the author update more, please💪💪💪
It's good to watch, and the plot develops with ups and downs. Travel through ancient poetry and novels (first class)
I hope the male protagonist doesn't have a concubine, I like single female protagonists [face covering]
A book worth reading. The author's writing is good. A really nice book. Just have to wait for serialization. Renew
It's so good. I stayed up late to read the novel. The male protagonist is intelligent and his family is loving and kind. It's great.
Except for being a bit verbose, overall it's good
The ups and downs of the storyline are worth watching
