He Wenjing transmigrated, becoming a young boy who had just starved to death. She had turned into a he.

As soon as he arrived, he found his new family so poor they could barely afford to eat. They never knew whether there would be food for the next meal.

Looking at his family, his father was dead, his mother was weak-willed, and his two little sisters were as thin as bean sprouts from hunger.

He Wenjing didn't want to die of starvation all over again. As the only male in the family, he had to shoulder the responsibility of supporting them!

Farming required more strength than he had; doing business meant his status was too low. That left only the imperial examinations!

Drawing on his abundant experience with modern exam-oriented education, He Wenjing began to master the Four Books and Five Classics by sheer persistence, vowing to leap through the Dragon Gate and turn his life around!

Many years later, He Wenjing went from being a farmer's son in a small mountain village to becoming a celebrated minister of his generation. His achievements would be remembered for generations and praised by all.

Later unofficial histories claimed: He Wenjing, courtesy name Tuizhi, was born into poverty. As he grew older, he excelled in scholarship, and later entered government service, becoming a pillar of the state. However, fearing his authority as a husband was weak and his wife as much as a tiger, he could do nothing about it.

P.S. 1. The married couple's relationship is not the focus in the later part of the story. The main plot is about the female lead transmigrating into a man's body and taking the imperial examinations. The early story focuses on the examinations, and the later story on court politics.

2. The exam questions, examination background, explanations of terms, and imperial examination system are all based on research from online sources, not invented by the author.

3. The protagonist is not a genius, just an ordinary person with normal intelligence. He has no photographic memory or ability to understand anything at a glance, but he does have a golden finger.

4. This story is set in a fictional world, a very fictional one, so there's no need to nitpick historical details.

I Help His Majesty Ascend the Throne

Jiang Li transmigrated into an angsty romance novel. The System told her to help the gentle, harmless, kind-hearted male supporting character ascend to the throne.

You've got to be kidding! The original male lead is ruthless and cruel, and this supporting character, who seems like a mere extra, doesn't have even a trace of the supposedly admirable qualities of being moody, devious, and sinister!

System: If he doesn't have any of those qualities, you can change him.

Jiang Li: Teaching people to be bad will bring divine retribution.

System: Then do you want to live or not?

Jiang Li: Come on, let's learn how to frame someone today.

Feng Xu had suspected since childhood that the daughter of the Minister of War might have something wrong with her head.

For instance, he would be playing happily in the imperial garden, and she'd suddenly tell him to jump into the pond. When he refused, she'd shove him in herself.

Or she'd try to coax him into eating poisoned food, saying she had the antidote and he needn't be afraid because the poison wouldn't kill him. She'd insist it was all for his own good, and when he refused, she'd secretly drug him anyway.

And then there were the times she'd suddenly take out all sorts of strange things and make him present them to his Imperial Father to earn favor, insisting that his father would be utterly amazed by him. Feng Xu thought that if he really showed those things to his father, he might be sent straight to the Cold Palace.

So Feng Xu, who had never wanted anything in particular, suddenly felt that danger lurked everywhere. One careless move could cost him his life, so he began developing into an all-around talent, just to guard against surprise attacks from this weird
