Imperial-Examination Stories About Scholars From Poor Families
I’ve been seriously looking for books about impoverished scholars taking the imperial exams, but none of them quite satisfy me. The writing is actually good, but the characters are too meek. Are there any with strong personalities, where people give as good as they get? It drives me crazy when characters swallow their grievances just because of gossip or the pressure of their elders’ status and family ties.

The description of the imperial examination system is relatively realistic, and the process of practicing eight-legged essays and preparing for government examinations is not suspended, which allows people to understand the difficulties of ancient scholars. The protagonist's modern thinking is used with restraint, without any excessive sense of violation.
The writing style is calm and quality! The language is not exaggerated, and the narrative is plain but powerful. It perfectly integrates the passion of counterattack from a poor family, the warmth of family affection, and the richness of historical features. It can satisfy both history lovers and ordinary readers.
The people's livelihood and imperial examination regulations during the Xuande period are described in detail, without any obvious sense of violation of the times. The protagonist Lin Wenyuan is a scholar from a poor family. He relies on modern knowledge and pragmatic thinking to make a living and prepare for the imperial examination. The growth line is clear and not suspended, making it a smooth read.
There is nothing sinister about it, and I have a desire to read it. It's quite interesting.
It was a mess. At first, it was said that the eldest brother was working as an apprentice in the town, and the sister-in-law Li and her daughter Lin Xiaoya were at home! The protagonist came back from school to celebrate the New Year just a few months ago. He also said that his eldest brother had come back from Suzhou and was working as an apprentice in Fucheng, Suzhou. He also came back with his sister-in-law Sun and his nephew who had just turned one year old... The other little bits were acceptable, but now I really can't stand it anymore and slipped away.
The writing is very detailed, but the characters in the article are all very facial-looking and have no human touch at all. Too much rhetoric is used, which makes it look strange (very unclear)
It's pretty, not that exaggerated
