You Said You'd Be a Debauched Brothel Playboy, So How Did You Pass the Top Exam?

[Imperial examinations + Lighthearted + Everyday life + Slow and steady + One heroine]

After transmigrating to an unfamiliar ancient world, he opens his eyes to find himself in a brothel!

His beautiful wife, born into a respected scholarly family, arrives at his door with a sword, ready to die with him to preserve her good name.

A fallen marquis’s son, a dissolute playboy.

Now that his reputation is already in the gutter, isn’t every step he takes from here an uphill climb?

Xie Heng: Wait a little before you die! What if I told you I could come back with the top score in the imperial exams?

At first, all he wanted was to work hard and survive in the Great Ning dynasty.

But amid laughter and conversation at the academy, competing for the top prize at poetry gatherings, speaking up for the people and becoming a gentleman worthy of respect…

Once a patron of wine and flowers, now he enters the emperor’s court!

And when he finally holds high office and looks back, he finds a few close friends and a virtuous wife by his side. Against all odds, he has truly carved out a path to the clouds.
