A Fallen Noble House Returns to Its Former Glory [Imperial Exams]

Huang Cheng was born into a powerful, aristocratic family, where marriages were arranged among the Five Surnames and Seven Clans. After dying, his soul wandered, and then one day he awoke from a dream. In a flash of clarity, he realized that the Huang family was nothing but a towering mansion on the verge of collapse, as precarious as a pile of eggs. To change his family’s fate and strengthen its power, Huang Cheng applied himself to his studies and worked hard to pass the imperial examinations. He eventually earned the highest degree and entered government service. He sternly guided the younger members of his clan, forged alliances with influential families, and arranged marriages with the nobility. In the end, he led his fallen family back to the pinnacle of power and ensured its prosperity for generations. No contrived melodrama, no awful relatives, and every plot thread gets resolved.

The burden of taxes and corvee labor weighed heavily on his family, poverty and backward living conditions made life difficult, and his lowly social status was simply unbearable. The worst part was that even medical care was monopolized by the nobility! Only by passing the imperial examinations and entering government service could someone rise to the top and become one of the elite! Determined to live well and live long, Ming Jin did everything he could to study and pursue the imperial exams, only to discover that something about this world was off... There were monsters and demons, as well as all kinds of strange and uncanny events. Never mind. Climbing the ladder was what mattered. Even when some of the subjects and exam questions were beyond anything he expected, he still overcame every obstacle to become a licentiate and then a provincial graduate, exempting his family from taxes and corvee labor and improving their living standards and social status. When he finally earned the highest degree, he got to experience the splendor of “seeing all the Chang'an blossoms in a single day.” What a thrill! He received an official post and opened clinics for the people... He built wealth and prosperity through his own abilities, then rose steadily through the ranks to the highest office, smoothly leading his family to a life of riches and honor.
