Transmigrated to Ancient Times to Take the Imperial Exams

Cui Heng transmigrates into the body of a peasant boy in ancient times, a child who has just been rescued after falling into the water. When he wakes, Cui Heng finds himself in the unfamiliar Great Qian dynasty. His family is poor, and every family member has their own distinctive personality. His grandmother is domineering, unbeatable in an argument, and more capable of taking action than the whole village. His father is the third son in the family and a local ne'er-do-well whom everyone avoids. He won't lift a finger, and all he can do is talk sweetly and act charming. The wife he persuaded to marry him is just as lazy and fond of good food. Faced with this from the start, Cui Heng: ... silently hugs himself! In a society where scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants are ranked in a strict hierarchy, Cui Heng doesn't want to toil under the sun, drenched in sweat. He decides to take the imperial examinations and study hard. Step by step, Cui Heng progresses from a licentiate to the top scorer, becoming the first person in Great Qian to achieve the Sixfold First. In the end, he rises to the Grand Secretariat, fulfills his ambitions, and uses the imperial examinations to raise his family's standing! Reader's Note: * This is a fictional setting, very fictional. Historical accuracy is out of the question. * The male lead focuses on the imperial examinations and his career. * The plot is slow-paced. Theme: Knowledge changes your destiny
