I’m tired of stories about poor students taking the imperial exams. Please recommend some about scions of prominent families who rise to success through the exams. Ideally, the male lead brings glory to his family. The romance should be minimal or just in the background! Even better if there’s an audiobook narrated by a real person!

In my book, the male protagonist is a concubine. This story is about the descendants of the Jia family after the house was ransacked. There is no Jia Baoyu and the Twelve Hairpins of Jinling. If you don't like it, you don't have to read it, but please don't abuse me. I didn't change the name because I think the author is very suitable.
