[Please add my upcoming civil-service exam novel, I Take the Military Exam in Great Yong, to your collection!] Thank you, dear readers, for your support!
Blurb:
Lin Zhao, an interstellar agricultural scientist, suddenly transmigrates into a little beggar wandering the streets of Huai'an City.
The beggar, Little Jujube, was abandoned outside the city at just one month old. An old beggar found him and raised him until he was five. When the old beggar died, Little Jujube had to beg for a living alongside the older beggars.
He drank dirty water and ate leftovers.
A ruined temple was his home, and survival was his life.
One day, while begging, Little Jujube was kicked by a passing horse and died at a young age. His only wish before he died was to eat his fill, but fate didn't grant it.
Lin Zhao can only sigh at the little beggar's miserable life.
Fortunately, his vegetable greenhouse base came with him, and a kind middle-aged couple who made a living selling vegetables took him in as their adopted son.
Treasure Box Spirit: What about me? What about me? Host, am I still your favorite System?
Lin Zhao transmigrates with his beloved vegetable greenhouse base.
With the base at his disposal and his adoptive parents making a living selling vegetables,
he plans to help his parents grow vegetables, use the greenhouse base to make a fortune, and live a happy life lying flat.
He thought he'd gotten a farming-and-business story.
Who knew that right after he arrived, he'd get pestered by a System calling itself the Treasure Box Spirit?
The System says that once he becomes a Host, he can trade with the Treasure Box by earning renown.
He can get anything he wants. The treasures he earns can not only repair and upgrade his vegetable greenhouse base, but also help him reach the pinnacle of life.
The catch is that he has to study and pass the civil-service exams.
Lin Zhao, who was worked to the bone in the interstellar era, says: No way.
Isn't a happy life lying flat better?
He was worked to the bone in the interstellar era. Does he really have to keep grinding after coming to the past?
So Lin Zhao refuses to bind himself to the Treasure Box.
After the Treasure Box Spirit tries every kind of threat and temptation, Lin Zhao gives in for the sake of his beloved greenhouse base and its future.
Some time later...
Lin Zhao, expressionless: System, you promised I could get anything I wanted and reach the pinnacle of life!
The Treasure Box Spirit, aggrieved and pitiful: Jujube, you need to earn renown first!
Fine, fine!
And so Lin Zhao accidentally comes first in all six imperial examinations.

P.S.:
1. The setting is fictional, and everything serves the plot.
2. Career-focused, with a growing protagonist and a satisfying power-up progression.
3. There is a female lead, one-on-one romance.
4. I'm bad at blurbs. If you're interested, give the story itself a try.
