My Whole Clan Is Waiting for Me to Pass the Imperial Exams

[Multiple heroines + poetry + imperial examinations + humble origins + lighthearted + slow-paced] Su Bai transmigrates into the Great Qian dynasty, where his entire clan sells off everything they own to send him to the county school.

Everyone laughs at the Su family for dreaming above their station. What chance does a peasant have of passing the imperial exams?

Then Su Bai passes the county, prefectural, and academy exams, earning the title of Minor Triple Laureate, before going on to become the provincial, metropolitan, and palace examination laureate, achieving a clean sweep of all six!

His Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng subdues the sons of the great clans, while his essay On the Six States shakes the entire court.

But as he keeps taking exams, romantic entanglements start piling up.

The prefect's daughter snatches his poems, a stunning courtesan secretly gives him her heart, a fierce young woman from a military family follows him with a sword, and the reigning princess refuses to marry anyone else.

Su Bai: “I only came here to take the imperial exams. How did I end up with a whole lineup of brides?”

“Who says the poor can't produce great men? I, Su Bai, claim eight-tenths of Great Qian's literary fortune!”

On the day he returns home in glory, he bows deeply to his entire clan. “Back then, all nine branches of the clan lifted me from the fields. Today, I will lift all nine branches to the heights of success.”
