The Poor Scholar Who Broke Off the Engagement

Broke Off the Engagement? I'll Get Top Marks First

I woke up to find I'd transmigrated into the body of a poor scholar in ancient times who'd just had his engagement called off. My former fiancée's family mocked me for being a useless bookworm.

I pulled out my math and science textbooks, opened an academy, built machines, and improved irrigation.

Two years later, I placed first in all three imperial examinations. As I rode through the streets in my official robes and cap, my former fiancée wept and begged me to take her back in front of everyone.

I smiled and waved her off. “Miss, please show some restraint. This humble official is about to marry a princess.”
