(Imperial examinations + rise to prominence + political intrigue + transmigration + family)
Liu Ke, a modern-day overworked intern, transmigrates into the body of a six-year-old boy in the Great Qi Dynasty. He had hoped to live a quiet life by passing the imperial examinations, but before the county exam, he offends the Xie family, the only family in the county with a successful candidate.
“This child will never pass the county exam!”
He had only wanted to focus on his studies, but now he has stumbled into the undercurrents of factional strife. The Academy faction extends an olive branch, seemingly hoping to use him to bring down the Zhao clan, the powerful chief councilor’s family behind the Xies.
Liu Ke goes with the flow, breaking through one obstacle after another from the county exam onward, until at last he enters the imperial court.
But he soon discovers that both the overbearing “Zhao clan” and the self-proclaimed upright “Academy faction” are sucking the people dry through the vast network of tax grain!
The people’s blood and sweat have become sustenance for both sides in their factional struggle.
If that’s the case... then every high-ranking official in this court is my enemy!
Armed with the trump card of a microchip, Liu Ke looks beyond factional strife and straight at the rotten root of the problem.
He will topple both mighty mountains at once and win the people a bowl of rice to fill their stomachs!
The imperial examinations are only the beginning; the real test comes when he enters the cabinet.
In this game of chess, I’ll flip the board for the countless people of this realm!
"Three Core Questions About the First Ten Chapters" There are three obvious flaws in the first ten chapters, which are worthy of discussion. 1. Chapter 6: The protagonist's ambition is set too early and the logic is distorted. The protagonist's ultimate ambition should have been a proposition gradually awakened and established in the middle and later stages, but it was forcibly thrown out in Chapter 6, which seemed abrupt and unreasonable. This kind of writing is close to the current routine to avoid censorship, but there is no such risk in the current environment. Such an operation is superfluous and seriously violates the internal logic of character growth. 2. Chapter 9: The protagonist's personality is seriously divided. The identity of the modern college student as a time-traveler that was previously set is almost completely forgotten in this chapter. The protagonist's thinking mode and behavior are no different from those of an ancient aboriginal who is well versed in the world, completely losing the modern perspective and sense of cultural conflict that a traveler should have. 3. Chapter 10: The historical foundation is seriously missing. Completely. Novel history Well, when I write this, I suddenly feel why I have to write so much. Maybe it's because I can't find books that people read recently, but I'll post them after I've written them.
It looks good, the writing is very good, the male protagonist is from time travel, it is a very good imperial examination article, it can be seen that the author has carefully conceived the outline and details, and I can read the latest chapters in one go. I look forward to the author's subsequent updates.
This book is really good. I have been interested in it since the author first published it. It gives people a sense of immersive reality. The golden finger setting is also very interesting. It is not a panacea and you have to work hard on your own. 🤭 The protagonist's family members are all very nice, and they don't have any annoying characters. I like this kind of family unity. I hope there will be no emotional drama in the future and that I can focus on my studies and career. Recommended for those who like real hard work in imperial examination essays. 😄
In this story, I want to write about a real world of ancient scholars. As the plot progresses, scholars in different situations will gradually appear: the old Tongsheng patriarch who protects the family, and the old scholar who insists on family studies. A young man who works hard to investigate the case, and a scholar from the government who speaks out for injustice. The juren who run amok, the great scholar who dominates the court, and...
Too impatient, as if someone is rushing me. Being in the limelight at the age of 6 is not a good thing. My thoughts are too radical.
It's completely different from what I thought. I was really frustrated for a while. I thought that with the kind of AI, it would at least feel a bit like a cool novel. In fact, I just wanted to read a cool novel with AI, but I always felt that it was a kind of growth-type novel.
