Looking for books similar to *I, Sun Shan, and the Imperial Examinations*. I want a story focused on studying for the exams, followed by genuinely working to improve the country. Keep the romance minimal, and don't make the golden finger ridiculously overpowered. The exams are fiercely competitive, after all, and with a different body of knowledge, someone who time-travels back isn't likely to sweep all six exams with ease.
