Synopsis

[Transmigration + Imperial Exams + Grassroots Governance + Lighthearted Daily Life + Slow-Burn Romance + Mutual Devotion]

In his previous life, Lu Guanqi ranked first in the written civil-service exam, fifth in the interview, and second overall.

He fell short by 0.27 points.

Before he could finish reviewing what went wrong, a delivery scooter sent him straight to another examination hall: the spring imperial examination of the Great Jing dynasty.

When he woke up, he was lying in a ditch.

A guard prodded his face with the sheath of a knife.

“Can you survive?”

Lu Guanqi thought it over.

“That mostly depends on what you want.”

And so a modern exam candidate, accustomed to reviewing every detail and asking questions before doing anything, began working his way to success all over again in ancient times.

From the metropolitan examination and palace examination to observing government in the Capital Prefecture, and finally taking up a real post in a county, he had thought a transmigrator would have at least some advantages. Later, he realized that the ancients might not have had nine years of compulsory education, but that didn’t mean they lacked brains.

Besides, the problems he encountered were not always earth-shattering cases.

Sometimes a pig had eaten medicine. Sometimes a porter was short ten coins. Sometimes two shopkeepers were simply at each other’s throats over the half-foot of space in front of their shops.

As for Princess Zhaoning, Xiao Mingyi, who had first pulled him out of the ditch, she gradually went from being his creditor to becoming the person whom Lord Lu had to earnestly ask before he could even steal a kiss.

“Can I kiss you?”

“Do you have to ask before you do anything?”

This is the story of a modern exam candidate taking the tests again, becoming an official again, and gradually learning how to make a good life for himself in ancient times.
