I Rely on a Spirit Spring to Survive the Imperial Exams

After transmigrating, Gu Yan went from being a genius researcher with a high IQ to an unloved farmer's son who was frail, sickly, and liable to drop dead at any moment.

In an era when scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants were ranked in that order, the only way to avoid being bullied and make something of yourself was to pass the imperial examinations.

But with a body that left him breathless after just a few steps and unable to lift even half a bucket of water, simply staying alive was a challenge.

Fortunately, Gu Yan had access to a Spirit Spring Space. Using its spring water, he not only nursed himself back to health but also managed to study for the imperial examinations.

Blurb Two

Lin Xing'er transmigrated into a book, becoming a supporting female character in a male-led novel about the imperial examinations.

She didn't want to marry a farmer, spend her whole life confined to a tiny plot of rural land, or be treated as a baby-making machine.

With no other choice, Lin Xing'er set her sights on her twin sister's fiance: the transmigrated male lead.

The future regent, second only to The Outcast and above all others.

The supporting female character is not the heroine.

This is a male-led novel about the imperial examinations, primarily following the male lead's journey from a farmer's son to a regent as he raises his family's standing.
