Sold into Slavery from the Start, I Rise to Grand Secretary Through the Imperial Exams

The most amazing thing about this work is that the author has written the time-travel setting to a whole new level. While other imperial examination papers still require the protagonist to recite Tang poetry and Song lyrics, Wang Gouer took a more difficult but more real path - he truly understood that "knowledge is power", integrated modern people's thinking methods with ancient classics, and carried out intellectual dimensionality reduction within the framework of the Four Books and Five Classics. The counterattack described by the author is full of ingenuity: the protagonist does not suddenly show off his amazing talent, but hibernates and accumulates in the study, and every "eureka moment" is perfectly prepared. The study room of the master's home became his best enlightenment school, and the identity of the savior was both a talisman and a shackle. This delicate balance was extremely wonderfully written. What's even more rare is the work's detailed description of ancient society. The survival wisdom of the slave class, the circle rules of scholars, and the operational details of the imperial examination system jointly construct a realistic and perceptible social picture of the Ming Dynasty. Wang Gouer must not only break through class barriers, but also protect the bottom line of modern people's conscience. This double struggle makes every step of his growth touching people's hearts. This is not only a refreshing article, but also a fable about how knowledge can change destiny. When seeing Wang Gouer quietly transforming in the fragrance of ink, readers will believe that the real golden finger is never the memory bank, but the wisdom and resilience that still shine after thousands of years. I look forward to this "little book boy" bringing more surprises on the way to the imperial examination! Very interesting, looking forward to the follow-up episodes.

This book takes imperial examination writing to a new level! The best thing about it is that the protagonist's counterattack does not rely on the system or noble people from heaven, but uses modern thinking to understand and apply the ancient imperial examination rules, turning knowledge into the hardest trump card. From the slave who "stealed masters" in the study to the Wenquxing who "won six yuan in a row", every step of growth is solid and believable. The declaration of "separate genealogy" effectively cut off the decadent patriarchal shackles, turning the achievements of the imperial examination from a tool to honor the ancestors into a declaration of personal independence. The story not only has the thrill of a step-by-step battle of wits, but also has a profound intention that transcends the times. It can be called a clean stream in imperial examination writing.

It's really good-looking, there's nothing poisonous about it, the writing is good, and the narrative is clear. The only shortcoming is that the foreshadowing is too long. I can understand it after the author explained it. Now I've started the imperial examination. The rating is low. I support it with five stars. Come on, author, I believe you.

This novel depicts the bloody and tearful struggle of poor students on the road to the imperial examination with amazing writing power. Oil lamp fragments, frostbite inkstone, every inch of the protagonist's advancement is soaked in the frost and snow of fate. When he used blood as ink and life as pen in the palace examination, the imperial examination was not only a ladder to fame, but also the cruel scorching of the souls of the lower class in an era. The moment when I was finally named on the gold medal list, there was no joy, only the trembling of the rest of my life - the little bit of cinnabar I spent my whole life on, illuminated the Qingyun Road, and also illuminated the dense white bones. This is not only a reversal of personal destiny, but also the most thrilling footnote to the thousand-year gamble of "Being a farmer in the morning and ascending to the emperor's hall in the evening". It's a little slow paced, but definitely worth watching. A very good historical novel. I personally like it very much and recommend it to everyone.

This is not only a novel, but also a slowly unfolding historical picture. The writing is sophisticated and beautiful, and the narrative rhythm is relaxed and moderate. It can be called an ingenious work that is difficult to put down. It is worthy of careful reading and praise by every history lover. It really describes the hardships of the lower-class peasant family in the imperial examination. It is very real and worth reading carefully. The pace is slow, but it is very interesting. It's refreshing enough 👍

I usually don't log in to read it, but I came across this book by chance. I was really surprised. What's even more rare is that it was written by a female author. Let me tell you what I think of this book. The content is behind the scenes, but the most charming thing about this novel is the sense of control that makes you hear thunder in silence. The protagonist has no noisy systems or abilities. He only silently collides modern thinking with ancient books in the study room of his deep house, and takes his destiny back into his own hands step by step. When the imperial examination becomes the battlefield for his dimension reduction attack, when the genealogy alone becomes the sharpest resistance to the feudal clan system, what you see is not only a person's counterattack, but also a romance of a time traveler using his wisdom to reshape the era! Love it! Although it's a bit slow, it's really pretty! I finished reading it in one go, it was so good, the author keeps updating, and I look forward to the follow-up development! I haven't seen such a beautiful historical article in a long time!

Highly recommended by long-time bookworms, it's worth reading. It's a very exciting imperial examination novel. I look forward to the follow-up development! Absolutely a good book, keep writing!

Let's talk about the advantages: the writing style is exquisite, the small details of daily plots are logically fluent, the common advantages of female videos, and it can be seen that the author has put some effort into the knowledge of imperial examinations. Then there are all shortcomings. The plot is too taken for granted. The reader lacks a sense of reality and control over the overall situation as the protagonist. In particular, there is almost no "sense of control". The novel basically relies on luck. There are many good people who are willing to push the protagonist. The villains who want to harm the protagonist also have a bottom line 😂. It is easy for readers to feel aggrieved that the protagonist is still alive only because of the kindness of the adults above. Time travel has already happened, even if there is a small setting similar to the system, it will not make readers feel like this. Also, the overall plot is very frustrating. Didn't the author realize that when he wrote it? For example, the protagonist saved Bai Yuqing's life twice. Bai Yuqing's portrayal did not feel like a tsundere. What she said to the protagonist on the boat to Jinling was even a bit mean. Her maid named Qingluan could give the protagonist a look 😅. There are too many such stories of frustration. They are simply the tip of the iceberg of frustration. I won't give examples one by one.

It's good to read. I really recommend book friends who click on the book review to read it. At first, someone in the book review said it was unconventional. When I first read it, I was a little disdainful, but after reading it, I realized that I am still narrow-minded. Different from the imperial examination essays I have read in the past, this book well depicts the hardships and difficulties of studying in the imperial examination. The protagonist does not just say that the imperial examination is not easy. In fact, apart from writing one or two sentences, he only studies hard. Then every time he takes the exam, he encounters the same proposition as before. When writing poems, he can only copy the official text, and he can't even copy it. However, this book is slow and step-by-step, paving the way for the protagonist's success, making it not abrupt, and really logical and refreshing. At the same time, there are also the details that should be included, especially in the aspect of imperial examination knowledge. The author is absolutely professional. Most of the 403 chapters updated so far are written by the author. The topics and analysis of various topic policy articles are not just pointed out and avoided, but written in large sections. The citations are numerous and extensive. It gives the impression that the author actually took the imperial examination and experienced it before writing it, rather than simply writing it down. The characters are also created with flesh and blood. Wang Yanming's humility, calmness, firmness and diligence, Zhang Wenyuan's escape and emphasis on love and justice, Zhu Ping'an's honesty and determination to refuse to admit defeat, as well as the mutual help and friendship between classmates are all vividly displayed on the page. Just looking at them is exciting. The plot is also very story-telling. Although it is based on Shuangwen's story-building framework, although there are plots of being plotted, showing off in front of others, and being slapped in the face, it is highly watchable and the story logic is good. It is not just for the sake of entertainment, and it is not lengthy. Especially the storyline of the first hundred or so chapters of the imperial examination has ups and downs, and it is extremely enjoyable to read. He writes carefully, does not fool readers, and is responsible for both his work and readers. This is my evaluation of the author. In short, I highly recommend this book. I have read Chapter 987 so far. How can I say it? It's okay. The imperial examination is as detailed as ever, but the emotional drama is a mess. The harem is for the sake of the harem. This emotional drama made me want to delete the book several times.

It was so cool. I read it for two days in a row. I haven't seen a novel that fascinated me so much in a long time. I was so excited after reading it! It is very innovative and attractive. In the author's writing, time travel is no longer an exaggerated game of power, but a step-by-step process based on the accumulation of knowledge. The setting of the protagonist enduring in depression and drawing strength from books allows people to see the down-to-earth nature of time-travel literature, using modern thinking to deconstruct the Four Books and Five Classics, and challenging feudal clans with one stroke and one ink. The counterattack of dimensionality reduction is definitely the most exciting charm of this book! Highly recommended, a historical novel definitely worth reading. It has a novel perspective and is not like those cookie-cutter novels.
