Passing the Imperial Exams to Prolong My Life [System]

Shen Jiangchuan was sickly, born that way.

He didn't even make it to adulthood before his body gave out and he died.

When he woke up, he discovered he'd been reborn three months earlier. By then, his body was already on the verge of giving out.

Staring at his own dilapidated thatched hut, Shen Jiangchuan: …

I'm still going to die again. What's the point of being reborn?

System: [Ding! Take the imperial examinations to extend your life. Interested?]

Qi Ji transmigrated.

He was reborn as a premature baby in the imperial palace, where someone had tried to kill him. To stay alive, he learned from a young age to act timid and weak.

He played the role of the "pitiful little one in the palace" perfectly.

Then, more than twenty years later, the late emperor died.

His brothers slaughtered one another, stabbing and slashing until, in the end, he was the only one left in decent health.

After being forced to ascend the throne, Qi Ji learned the late emperor's posthumous title, and felt his whole world collapse.

He had transmigrated into the shortest-lived emperor in history!!

He died less than a year after ascending the throne. Can you believe that?

Ha. What's the point of transmigrating?!

This novel is also known as:

"The Things Between Me and the Emperor That Must Be Told"

"The Emperor and His Beloved Minister, Disrobed"

"What a Coincidence, Beloved Minister. Are You Extending Your Life Too?"

Reborn sickly gong & transmigrated short-lived emperor shou

Both virgins, one-on-one.

P.S. Qi Ji worries about his life every day, so he has no empress or consorts.

Same goes for Shen Jiangchuan.

The gong extends his life by taking the imperial examinations, while the shou extends his by administering them.

The life-extension couple.

Both the gong and shou grow as people, and they're evenly matched.

Theme: Hard work and study can change your fate.
