I want books like The Farmer's Imperial Exam Journey: My Dad Turns Out to Be the Ultimate Study Machine. Why are imperial exam novels almost always about women disguised as men? I'm okay with a woman becoming a man, but I can't handle an imperial exam story where she's just pretending to be one!

The first one is an excellent imperial examination essay👍The male protagonist has had a miscarriage. He was rejected by the system because his IQ was not up to standard, and he was left with only scraps from the system, which is of little use. The protagonist mainly relied on his own persistence and self-discipline to embark on the road to the imperial examination step by step, which is amazing💪 The fourth book has a miscarriage. After several years of hard work, the protagonist finally got the opportunity to study, but was rejected due to prejudice, and was "sold" by chance to another wife before he started to study in a down-to-earth manner [laughing and crying]

In the first book, the male protagonist had a wife and daughter before time travel, but not after time travel (so far, and the author has marked no female protagonist) [Shy] The male protagonist's imperial examination is to avoid taxes, etc. The male protagonist's ideal is just like the title of the book. In the main hall, he told the emperor that his wish is to return to his hometown to farm. [Thinking] The second book is about the male protagonist leading the whole village to get rich, and the author said it has no cp [please read carefully] In short, in the early stage, it should be biased towards making money, and in the later stage, it should be about officialdom

🌸The imperial examination papers are all about women wearing men's clothes🌸 🌸①It's good-looking. The heroine wears women's clothes and wears men's clothes until she wants to be a father. She has three good geese and a caring little cotton-padded jacket. It also has a famous teacher system, and her dad also passed it on. The fried chicken is beautiful, really [laughing] 🌸②The female protagonist crosses paths with a man, no CP, the heroine breaks up her love, the plot is a bit slow, but the heroine is definitely a male protagonist who respects women and is a civil servant. 🌸③This is not a story about a woman dressing up as a man, it is about a boy who traveled through time and became a peasant boy, working hard to become an official in the imperial examination.
