You Mock Me for Failing the Exams Again, but Why Panic When I Start a Rebellion?

[Alternate world + transmigration + beginner’s guide to rebellion + conquest + harem + martial arts]

Zhang Qian transmigrates to an ancient feudal dynasty. He passes the county, prefectural, and academy examinations at the age of nine, and his reputation as a child prodigy shakes the realm. Local magnates seek marriage alliances with his family.

But the officialdom is corrupt. For five years, he sits the provincial examination, and for five years his exam papers are swapped out. He doesn’t even dare to lodge a complaint.

After failing time and again, he is finally dumped by his betrothed.

At the end of his rope, he binds himself to the Conquest Campaign System, and Zhang Qian immediately rebels against the idea of giving up: “If I can’t pass the exams to get into Chang’an, can’t I fight my way in instead?”
