After Our Whole Family Transmigrated, My Dad Rose to Become Chief Counselor

[Currently serializing: Aftercare for My Villain Dad Every Day. Click into my column to read it!] Song Yingshu's whole family inexplicably transmigrated while on a trip, taking over the bodies of a family of three in ancient times. They had to split up the family from the start. But before they could celebrate, they discovered that what looked like a fair division was actually full of hidden traps. It took the family quite some effort to get out of trouble and move into the city. To improve their lives, the family discussed it and decided to make money by writing storybooks. Mystery and detective stories seemed like a good choice. Sure enough, their storybooks sold out as soon as they hit the market and were warmly received. They made plenty of money, too. They planned to ride the wave and turn the books into a series, but who could have guessed that someone would use one of them to solve a real case? The family of three: &*#...%? To avoid trouble, the family temporarily gave up writing storybooks and decided to try making small inventions and running a little business. Who knew that Song Yingshu's dad would make a connection with the county magistrate, somehow become his adviser, and start using modern marketing tactics? He opened a candy factory and held a candy competition, making this remote little county famous throughout the country. Just when Song Yingshu thought being the daughter of a minor official wasn't so bad, her dad started taking the imperial examinations again. Song Yingshu interviewed her dad: "You were a humble farmer at dawn, and entered the emperor's court by dusk. What made a modern man like you decide to take the imperial examinations?" Song Changze replied helplessly: "I didn't want to, either, but my good-for-nothing younger brother has spent over twenty years taking the exams without even passing the lowest level. And, of course, my father actually expects me to keep paying for him to take them. Rather than throw my money away, I might as well take the exams myself." So Song Changze came in last every time, eventually standing in the Golden Hall with the other successful candidates. Song Changze was very pleased with himself: "Coming in last every time without failing is an achievement in itself. It's not so different from passing the imperial examinations with top honors at every level." Song Yingshu: "...I can't argue with that." After arriving in the bustling capital, Song Yingshu thought this had to be the end of the road. But her dad kept getting promoted until he became the chief grand secretary. Song Yingshu: "Since my laid-back dad is so capable, I... might as well lie back and enjoy the ride." A few things to know before you start: The early part is about farming and building wealth; the middle focuses on the imperial examinations; the later part deals with court politics. But the main focus is infrastructure development, not political scheming!!! The protagonist is the dad, while the female lead handles the romance. A divider for the author's request to follow her column Currently serializing: Aftercare for My Villain Dad Every Day Liang Mochen has always been arrogant and domineering. He's a notorious playboy in the capital, and nobody dares cross him, all because his father wields immense power at court. One day, after getting into an argument with someone and being struck on the head, he awakened memories of his past life and learned that he had transmigrated into a book. In the book, his father abuses his power and commits every manner of evil, especially framing the great general for treason. This drives the general's son, Huo Sui, to raise a rebellion, and their family meets a tragic end. By now, his powerful father has already exiled Huo Sui's entire clan. Huo Sui will soon get in touch with his father's former followers and prepare to rebel. Liang Mochen: "I'm doomed. Better to die sooner and be reborn sooner." * Then a mechanical voice rang out: "Ding! Your Character Profile System is now online." Liang Mochen, who had been on the verge of death, sat bolt upright: "Huh? So, you're saying there's still a chance to save this situation." The System told him that his father's relentless persecution, carried out by a great traitor, had thrown the court into chaos and left the people destitute. The foreign tribes were also eyeing the Central Plains hungrily. Huo Sui was supposed to become emperor and turn the tide, but with no capable officials in court and his health ruined during exile, he died suddenly in the palace two years later. He left no heirs, plunging the court into total chaos as everyone fought for the throne. After that, foreign tribes invaded the Central Plains, their brutality rivaling the Five Barbarians' upheaval. Liang Mochen gritted his teeth. If he lay flat and waited to die, he'd be a traitor to his people! So while his father schemed and framed people up front, Liang Mochen lent a helping hand behind the scenes. The ministers came to treat him like a brick in a revolution, sending him wherever he was needed. He also had to revitalize agriculture and grow the economy, making sure the people had plenty to eat and drink so they wouldn't feel like joining Huo Sui's rebellion. Holding the Character Profile System, Liang Mochen thought happily to himself: Thank goodness he could check everyone's resume across the country. He'd summon everyone with talent to work for him and kill everyone who did evil. After all the foreign tribes had been defeated and the people were living in peace, Liang Mochen was forced to wear the imperial yellow robe. Liang Mochen sighed helplessly: "You might not believe me, but all I ever wanted was to be a playboy." A divider for the author's request to follow her column My Weibo: Jinjiang Boyun Jian.
