An alternate-history ancient Chinese farming-family story about the imperial examinations and court intrigue, featuring transmigration into a fetus, a female soul in a male body, and a System that keeps a low profile. There is a female love interest, but romance is limited, and she is exceptionally beautiful.
A visually striking male lead: the “fragile” and “refined” qualities brought on by a female soul in a male body come together in a man of peerless beauty, whose gender is hard to discern.
A career-focused examination story: from a farmer’s thatched cottage to the imperial palace, every step of his hard-earned rise is perfectly timed.
The System stays in the background: it is not a “dad” who does everything for him, but more like an occasionally playful “comment feed” or “memo pad.”
A very subtle romance: the female lead is his idealized love, but because the male lead’s inner self is female, he feels more “admiration” and “responsibility” than possessive, domineering love. No rivalry between women.
The author's writing is getting better and better, and I hope to continue to work hard in the future. The protagonists in the novel are neither arrogant nor impetuous, and each person's character is vivid 😳
