Disguised as a Man to Take the Imperial Exams

My next book, "The Poor Student Forced to Take the Imperial Exams," is available to follow. The blurb is at the end. If you like it, please add it to your collection.

Blurb:

Yi Qing transmigrates into the body of a miserable little girl.

Her original self and her widowed mother, Shen Sanniang, depend on each other. Their family is desperately poor, with only two mu of thin farmland.

There are people in the clan eyeing them hungrily. They want to seize not only their land, but Shen Sanniang as well.

Yi Qing thinks she's been handed the script of a farming novel with a face-slapping plot, but Shen Sanniang sends her to school to study for the imperial exams.

Watching the people who bullied them disappear one by one, Yi Qing, who was used to lying flat, trembles with fear and obediently picks up her books to study hard.

Later, she finally achieves success and fame, becomes a marquis and a high-ranking official, and countless people erect monuments and write biographies in her honor.

Her female students in particular never forget her legacy: giving women the chance to leave the inner quarters and pursue education and success.

Reader's guide:

The first half focuses on studying and the imperial exams, the second half on court politics.

This is not a face-slapping wish-fulfillment novel. If you want a heroine with an overpowered golden finger who wins arguments, puts people in their place, makes a fortune in business, and gets everyone to kneel before her, this isn't for you.

A strong female lead, dedicated to improving women's status.

Set in an imaginary world. Please don't nitpick historical accuracy.

Coming soon: "The Poor Student Forced to Take the Imperial Exams." Blurb:

After spending a few years abroad, Cheng Zi'an returns home, happily eating, drinking, and having fun while waiting to inherit the family mines. Then he transmigrates to the Great Xia dynasty and becomes a seven-year-old brat who has to study hard for the exams.

The poor student Cheng Zi'an is going crazy. Forget taking the imperial exams, he can't even recognize all the characters in his books!

But his original self's father happens to be a tutor at an academy, and there are eyes watching him everywhere. There's no way to skip school, so he can only grit his teeth and study.

Who would have thought that he would become a role model for scholars, tutor to emperors in two dynasties, a chancellor who served the emperor for thirty years, and a great statesman remembered in history?

The young crown prince asks Cheng Zi'an, "Teacher, have you loved reading since you were little?"

Cheng Zi'an smiles without answering.

Sigh, don't ask. It only brings tears to my eyes...

Set in an imaginary world. Please don't nitpick historical accuracy.
