[Clueless Failed Scholar × Quirky, Playful Farming Girl Who Transmigrated]
Shen Shaoqiu went to the capital to take the imperial examinations, and failed twice.
After failing and returning to his hometown, he was gone for six years. When Shen Shaoqiu finally came home, he discovered that he had gained a little wife, along with a mountain of debt from his two trips to the exams.
Because of those few hundred taels of silver, his sister-in-law treated him coldly, his second brother turned against him, and outsiders laughed at him for being a fake gentleman.
Hoping to pay off his debts as soon as possible, Shen Shaoqiu opened a small village school to earn a little money.
Burdened by debt, Shen Shaoqiu didn't want to drag his little wife down with him, but she refused to leave his side. Later, he found out that the only reason she stuck with him was that she had bound herself to a Farming System...
His heart shattered in an instant.
His little wife was stunningly beautiful, with bright eyes and pearly teeth. Everyone in the village pitied Shen Shaoqiu for marrying a shrew who was beautiful but troublemaking and obsessed with farming.
Shen Shaoqiu earned money by teaching, while his little wife farmed to put food on the table. Their little life was still fairly fulfilling.
"Husband, how can those hands of yours, the ones you use to write, do my laundry?"
Shen Shaoqiu scrubbed the clothes with a rueful smile. "If this outfit gets ruined too, we won't have the money to buy you new clothes."
The couple worked diligently to earn money, but somehow their lives just kept getting poorer?!
What a shock!
Later, after getting used to a leisurely life in the countryside with his little wife, Shen Shaoqiu wanted nothing more than to be a carefree scholar.
Failing the exams twice had already made Shen Shaoqiu take everything in stride. Even if he passed the imperial examinations and earned an official's hat, how could that compare to the ease of life among ordinary folk?
Blurb for The Lucky Princess Eats and Drinks Her Way Through the Eighties
The lucky princess Hua Jiaojiao fell from the heavens to the mortal world and was born into the impoverished 1980s, becoming the little lucky charm of Old Man Hua's family.
Drought? Hua Jiaojiao hopes it will rain tomorrow, and the village immediately issues a red alert for a torrential downpour.
No meat to eat? Hua Jiaojiao waits by a tree stump for a rabbit, and a wild hare promptly runs straight into her.
No diploma? Whatever question Hua Jiaojiao reviews tonight will be on tomorrow's exam. Everyone calls her a master of predicting test questions.
Ever since the Hua family got their little lucky charm, their days have been a happy blur, and yet their lives keep getting better. Hua Jiaojiao even moves from the countryside into the city.
Hua Jiaojiao has a childhood sweetheart named Qin Yiqian. Everyone says Qin Yiqian is even luckier than Hua Jiaojiao!
Only Qin Yiqian knows the truth: when luck falls short, money makes up the difference.
Qin Yiqian's favorite thing to do is feed Hua Jiaojiao.
Nougat, hawthorn slices, skim milk, canned fruit. Qin Yiqian wants to fatten Hua Jiaojiao up until she's soft and cuddly, because she's easier to pinch when she's chubby...
Theme: There isn't just one road through life. We have many choices.
It's a bit exaggerated. Those who come to Beijing to take the exam are all candidates. As the male protagonist, as a candidate, the local government will give him some money - you can refer to Fan Jin's passing the examination. In ancient times, a tael of silver was not a dollar, and the court rewarded it a lot. Even if a civil servant fails the exam, he will not be too depressed when he returns to his hometown. After all, the male protagonist is not a wasteful playboy. ——So just treat it as a recreational thing.
Isn't that unreasonable? (I don't mean to blame the author)
This system just caught a native for bullying.
This is treating a stranger as an ancestor (no disrespect to the author's ideas)
Eggs are so valuable, they are used to hit people...
I don't like this heroine at all
This heroine has a very strange character
I don't like the heroine, she's sick
Even if you don't win the exam, you are still a scholar, right? Aren't scholars tax exempt? Why doesn't the whole family want to see him? Very low status
It's so strange, it's okay if the nephew didn't come back to report the news, but the eldest brother dropped the burden and ran back to tell my mother. Why did a person who had been lost for a long time get home first? Knocking on the door, I was so surprised that he came back
