   This is a novel about parents who are definitely not weak, a refreshing imperial examination story without a romantic pairing. The male protagonist works hard to pass the imperial examination at the beginning, but after entering the palace, he discovers that the retired emperor is his biological father and the emperor is his biological younger brother, thus unfolding a wonderful story of the three of them. The writing is good, the quality is high, and it is already completed!

   Reader note

   The first book's author writes about emotions with incredible detail; no matter how many times I reread it, the later chapters always bring me to tears. Those who are bothered by plagiarism should avoid it (the male lead uses a poem by Su Shi and later takes the brothers as his disciples). The political intrigue is also well-written. This book is truly a favorite; every character is vividly portrayed. The second book, *Nobody Discovered She Was a Woman*, seems like an attempt to capitalize on both male and female-oriented fiction. The writing is decent, but the political intrigue shouldn't be read too closely; it feels rather weak.

    My parents were proud of me. The book's synopsis: Xia Ren, a double PhD in history and literature, after a sudden car accident, his soul transmigrated to the Great Jing Dynasty, a dynasty never before recorded in history, reborn as a seven-year-old child on the verge of death in a farming family. His impoverished home and humble circumstances couldn't hinder the knowledge and insight accumulated from his two lifetimes. His memories of his previous life's deep study of classical texts remained vivid; history, philosophy, literature, institutions, and the principles of governance, chaos, rise, and fall were all within his grasp. From a child studying by lamplight to a promising scholar, he forged his way through the imperial examinations with a vision and talent far beyond his time. He excelled in the provincial examinations, gained fame in the metropolitan examinations, and astonished the emperor in the palace examinations. Entering the court as a commoner, he witnessed the treacherous nature of officialdom and the undercurrents of factional strife. Beset by treacherous officials within and threatened by border troubles without, he had to contend with both open and covert attacks while simultaneously fulfilling his aspirations to govern the world and benefit the people. He promoted agriculture and sericulture, benefited industry and commerce, rectified officialdom, and brought peace to the four borders... Step by step, he rose from a poor scholar to the position of prime minister, writing a legend of "shrimp" and leaving a strong mark on the history books of the Great Jing Dynasty for this unexpected soul.
