As the Only Son in a Farming Family, I Turned My Life Around Through the Imperial Exams!

After finally clawing his way up to an executive position at his company, he opens his eyes and finds himself in ancient times, the only son of a farming family.

His original self failed the county-level imperial exam and jumped into a river to end his life.

When he transmigrates, his family is terrified. They even move the ancestral graves for his sake, only to bring disaster down on themselves.

A guilt-ridden grandfather, a grandmother who favors her grandson.

Uncles with few descendants, a scatterbrained father, a strong-as-an-ox mother, and three older sisters.

Chen Yu raises a hand to his forehead. What kind of disastrous start is this?

Years later...

Watching Chen Yu climb higher and higher and rise to greater and greater official posts, everyone says, “Who says an only son can’t amount to anything?”

At thirteen, he fails the county-level exam. At fourteen, he takes first place in the county exam, earns the top spot in the prefectural exam that same year, and wins the first three levels of the imperial examinations, making a name for himself in one stroke!

He comes first again in the autumn provincial exam, earning the title of provincial champion.

In the spring metropolitan exam, he becomes the examination champion.

At eighteen, he becomes the top scholar.

He becomes the youngest, and the only, person in the history of Great Wei to earn top honors in all six examinations!

A true miracle!

Everyone praises him: “What a fine steed, this Chen family prodigy!”
