The Reborn Cannon Fodder Scholar in an Imperial Exam Novel

~ Xie Wenyan is a disposable scholar in an imperial-examination novel. In his past life, he was the family's spoiled and vicious younger cousin, selfish and cunning, greedy for power and profit, and willing to ruin his own family to get ahead. As a result, his transmigrated cousin, the novel's male lead, exposed him through a series of face-slapping reversals. Xie suffered the consequences of his own actions and died destitute. He deserved it. The accusations were all true! But Xie Wenyan has no regrets. He is a vicious wolf by nature, and he wants fame and fortune. His only regret is that he was blind in his previous life and failed to choose the right pawns. That's why he missed his chance to climb to the top and fell into the abyss. Given another chance at life, Xie Wenyan reflects on his mistakes and draws a conclusion: he still needs to take the shortcut! This time, he'll be a good younger brother to his transmigrated cousin, marry a worthy husband from a powerful family, and have his cousin and father-in-law help him rise to the top. He is selfish, vicious, and cunning by nature. But if he can keep up the act for his whole life, then he will be a gentleman as bright and noble as the moon! Qiao Yujing is a son born of the principal wife of a noble house. He is handsome, exceptionally talented, and kindhearted. In the capital, he is known as a fine young gentleman. Unfortunately, in his past life, he had the misfortune of having cold-hearted parents. He was schemed against and spent his whole life suffering in a monastery. Reborn into a new life, He hates those wicked people with all his heart. This time, he wants neither wealth nor glory. He only hopes to get away from his cold-hearted family, find an upright husband, and live an ordinary, happy life. But after carefully choosing a husband, an unlikely twist of fate led him to marry into the Xie family. His husband turns out to be Xie Wenyan, the notorious schemer who stops at nothing and hungers for power and wealth! Reader's Notes: 1. The story is told from the top's point of view. The top is not kindhearted. He really is a scheming disposable character with eight hundred tricks up his sleeve. 2. The top is ambitious and wants fame and fortune. He won't harm people for no reason, but he will use those around him to achieve his goals. Please don't read if that bothers you. 3. Imperial examinations and a male pregnancy story featuring men who can bear children. Theme: Always strive to move forward in life!
