The Little Husband Finds His Backbone [Imperial Examinations]

In her previous life, Lin Miao's life could be summed up in one word: miserable. Her parents died young, and she and her little brother lived with their maternal grandfather's family. Knowing they were dependent on others, Lin Miao did all the hard work, ate last, and tried desperately to repay these so-called relatives. And what did that get her? Grandmother: "You're a ge'er, so you'll have trouble bearing children. Why do you need such a good match? Switch with your cousin!" Eldest Aunt: "Miao is clever. It won't hurt to wait another two years before he goes to the county school. How about giving this place to your eldest cousin this time?" Second Uncle: "Miao, don't blame your uncle. Blame your little brother for his bad luck. I had just pulled your younger cousin out of the water, and in the blink of an eye, the current swept your brother away!" Even when Lin Miao died young, coughing up blood, that family was still scheming to take his house and land. They wouldn't even lay out his body for burial! In the end, it was the fiance he had avoided like the plague who traveled a thousand miles to bring him back to his hometown and lay him to rest. Living a second life, Lin Miao returned to the age of eight. His parents had just died, and his little brother was still by his side. When his grandmother reached out to take them in, Lin Miao decisively shook his head. This time, he would stay in his own home, protect their fields, raise his little brother, keep studying and take the imperial examinations, and forge his own path one step at a time. And he would warn the person who was once again becoming his fiance: don't just focus on looking cool, or you'll end up dead.
