The Male Lead's Errand Boy, But He Turns the Imperial Exams Around!

Ye Jinghe transmigrates into the body of Changfeng, the young male lead’s page in a household-intrigue novel.

In the future, he’ll get caught up in the wives’ and concubines’ power struggles, be framed and left with a broken leg, then freeze to death on the streets!

Ye Jinghe silently wraps himself tighter in his little quilt. The world is vast, but staying alive comes first!

The young master of the household starts his lessons early, and Ye Jinghe tags along for the private tutoring. The lady of the house is kind, so Ye Jinghe gradually gets enough to eat and warm clothes to wear. The master of the house is generous, so Ye Jinghe catches a ride on the imperial examination bandwagon...

And so Ye Jinghe turns his fortunes around, rising to heights ordinary people wouldn’t even dare dream of!

Ye Jinghe: You might not believe this, but all I wanted at first was to keep my head down!

The Pei family of Qingzhou once had descendants all over the imperial court. By this generation, however, the family has dwindled and lost its influence, and everyone is waiting to laugh as the Pei family falls into ruin.

One day, red silk suddenly appears outside the Pei residence. Firecrackers crackle all day long, and a traveler from out of town covers his ears and shouts:

“What’s the big occasion? Why is this family so excited?!”

“The young master of the Pei family passed the imperial examination as the third-ranked candidate. Wouldn’t they be excited? But that’s nothing. A few years ago, the literary prodigy who swept all three examinations also came from the Pei family! What a sight! What a spectacle! They set off firecrackers for three whole days and nights! The Pei family’s on the rise again!”

Bonus scene:

Pei Du: Big brother, help me out! Save me!

Ye Jinghe (taking a deep breath): Still asking for help? At this rate, I might as well sit on the dragon throne!

The emperor (smiling as he pats the dragon throne): Come on, son~
