Famous Teachers Lecture Me Every Day

Synopsis: Xie Lailai transmigrates and becomes Xie Lai, the foolish son of a landowning family. His legal mother has no children of her own. So all his brothers and sisters are born to concubines. As one of many sons born to concubines, Xie Lailai just wants to grow up without a fuss, get on his legal mother's good side, and inherit a few more fields so he can live a quiet life as a small landowner in this ancient society. Having children is out of the question. In his previous life, he was a woman. Who knew that every night when he went to sleep, he would enter a dream. In the dream, his teachers would hit him with a ruler. No studying, no good night's sleep. Xie Lailai had no choice but to follow the teachers' lessons with tears in his eyes. At first, he thought some kind of immortal had found him. That was until he went to the capital for the imperial examinations. He saw a great scholar in the street... then the Grand Tutor of the current dynasty, and then the old Chancellor... Xie Lai trembled with fear. Content warnings: A woman transmigrates into a man's body. (Don't ask why the gender swap; it's just a premise.) No CP, no marriage. He devotes his life to his career. No advance chapters. (I had several versions of advance chapters saved, then somehow lost them all. I'm still the same old me: if I don't post it, I can never get a story started. I'm trying out a new genre.) It's basically an ancient-era version of a top student story. But unlike Wansheng, Lailai is more intelligent. Theme: Study to gain wisdom and build a life.
