[Calculating, scheming top x purehearted, kind, gentle sunshine bottom] Warnings: Slow burn, farming and imperial examinations with the top as the protagonist, a story featuring male birth, and childbirth. Please don't read if these bother you. Please follow my new work, The Legitimate Second Son's Road to the Imperial Examinations, the second book in my collection! Blurb: As the legitimate second son of the Minister of Rites, Ning Xishi was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He aspired to be a useless playboy who only raised hawks and fought birds. Unfortunately, this playboy was so handsome that he caught the eye of the Grand General of the Western Campaign. An imperial decree made Ning Xishi the general's live-in son-in-law. The general's household had strict rules: No more than three cups of wine at a time; no visits to brothels; no staying out all night; and so on. Even Ning Xishi's group of playboy friends were too intimidated by the general to keep dragging him out to fool around. To have a respectable reason to leave the house, Ning Xishi found himself a good excuse: Study, practice calligraphy, and take the imperial examinations! As it turned out, he accidentally took first place in all three examinations and became famous across the land.
