A Scion of a Great Family

The Gu clan of Yuchuan is a distinguished family with a thousand years of history, renowned as the enduring Gu clan amid the changing royal houses. Gu Huaizhi, reborn as the Gu clan's eldest legitimate grandson, must be far more outstanding than others to secure his place as the future head of the family. As the great clans decline, he will restore the Gu clan of Yuchuan to its former glory. Content warnings: 1. A historical setting blended from many sources, with a very loose framework. 2. The imperial examination storyline begins midway through. 3. The female lead appears late, and there's virtually no romance. Coming soon: The Lazy Fish Is Forced to Take the Imperial Exams. Please add it to your reading list. Reborn as the second young master of the Marquis of Jing'an's household, with a happy family and no worries about food or clothes, Yu Siheng: I'll just live as a lazy fish. How wonderful. But a System suddenly appears in his mind and tries its hardest to brainwash him: [How about an Imperial Exam System? A hundred renowned teachers offer online tutoring, one-on-one instruction, and round-the-clock answers to your questions. We're dedicated to helping our Host become a marquis and prime minister and leave his name in the history books. You deserve this!] Yu Siheng: ...No, no thanks. I'm never going to work hard. Not in this life. Just let me live peacefully as a lazy fish! I'm out of here. [Complete each small task to earn a fitting reward! Want a bottle of soda? How about hot pot seasoning? Roast duck, roast chicken, spicy hot pot...] Yu Siheng (tentatively sticking out a little toe): C-could I start with a bottle of soda? Later, someone asks Yu Siheng: "Prime Minister Yu, you wield immense power at court, have earned the emperor's deep trust, and are revered as a towering figure by scholars everywhere. Countless commoners have even built shrines and erected memorial steles in your honor. How did you achieve all this?" Yu Siheng sighs with the weariness of a lifetime: "It all started when I was young and foolish enough to trust a scoundrel..." That garbage System wasn't human, and it actually whipped this lazy fish into action! Theme: Stay positive and work hard at life, striving to benefit the people in a feudal society.
