[Imperial Exams + Regret Arc + No System]
“No one will help me reach for the clouds, so I’ll trudge through the snow and climb to the summit myself!”
Shen Yan, a history PhD, transmigrates as the son of a merchant in the Great Xia dynasty. His birth mother died young, his stepmother is cruel, and his father favors his younger brother, forcing him to sit the imperial exams in his brother’s place.
Shen Yan severs ties with his family in public, leaves home carrying his late mother’s ashes, and begins his journey through the imperial examinations.
Everyone waits to see him make a fool of himself, unaware that his mind holds five thousand years of poetry, prose, and statecraft...
He takes first place in all six examinations, earns a place on the imperial roll, and shocks the world.
After reading his policy essay, the emperor rises from his seat and declares, “If I don’t name this young man the top scholar, I won’t be able to eat or sleep in peace!”
…
The day the news reaches Qinghe County, the entire clan weeps bitterly. His stepmother kowtows and begs for mercy, asking only that he return to the family and protect the Shen clan.
His father cries bitterly: “Yan’er, I was wrong. Come home!”
Shen Yan stands at the gate, with immense power behind him, and sneers, “You told me to get out back then. Now I’ll make sure you don’t even have the right to look up to me!”
So pretty! Not only is the male protagonist talented, the author is even more talented 👍
It's a rare good book that I like. I like how the author integrates ancient poems and modern business concepts into the plot of the story naturally, without being obtrusive or pretentious. I recommend it!
Highly recommended by bookworms of 10 years. Although it is not very novel, the momentum between the lines is in place.
239 Photos appeared, so many women interested in the male protagonist! Who does the male protagonist like? There is the mentor's daughter, the Marquis's female protagonist, and there is a princess. There are so many peach blossoms that I feel tired.
It's okay, but I don't have any force myself. If I just send a killer without anyone to protect me, I'll die.
The writing style is still good, the storyline, characterization, plot development, and emotional pull are all good, but... Some things and some logic are not consistent. The use of time in ancient poems, the four sentences of Hengqu, Linjiang Xian is unprecedented in ancient and modern times. Empress Changsun Li Qingzhao can learn from the past...
It's a good historical time travel, thumbs up~~ I also recommend a novel to everyone, "Throne of Genes: The Awakening of the Super Girl Invincible". Although the name is a little bit confusing, it is really good-looking, with a compact plot and high suspense. It also combines urban fantasy and Machiavellian wits. You can check it out~
It's so beautiful, please update! Reread the poems and lament once again the profound cultural heritage of China
The pace of the imperial examination in the early stage was too fast.
I'd like to ask, do you have a harem? How many? Who are they?
