Adopting the Eldest Grandson

Zeng Huting was the eldest grandson of a concubine-born son of the former prefect of Changzhou. He transmigrated to an undocumented dynasty, and his privileged life lasted only a few years before his grandfather's dismissal wiped it all away.

His father paid him no attention, his legitimate mother turned a blind eye, and his birth mother focused on winning favor. Zeng Huting struggled to survive through it all. Even so, he was adopted by a poor uncle from his clan.

All he could do was study as hard as he could and pass the imperial exams, carving out a bright future for himself.

Many years later...

Adoptive father: Adopting him was the best decision I ever made!

The male lead rises through the imperial examinations, starting at the grassroots and eventually becoming a renowned minister of his era!

There is a female lead. The leads complement each other, one skilled in civil affairs and the other in military affairs. Together, they are perfect in every way.

A red flower needs green leaves to set it off, and every happy ending needs supporting characters, too.

They die miserably, meet tragic ends, and never get a happy outcome.

After Lin Xun becomes one of these supporting characters, he decides that when you fall, you should get right back up.

Transmigrated into the body of an impoverished old examinee who has never passed the lowest imperial exam, he starts with literacy classes and works his way up to become a master tutor.

Transmigrated into the body of a successful exam candidate fleeing a famine, he uses his keen eye to find the "noble son" hidden among the refugees.
