I transmigrated into the womb of a peasant family in ancient times. My father was a carpenter, my mother was frail, my little brother was still in swaddling clothes, and I had an older half-sister who shared the same mother.
Money was tight, my aunt made life difficult, and the whole family was in constant uproar.
Lu Qingchen thought this transmigration was, in many ways, rather unfortunate.
Yet even in misfortune, there were two strokes of good luck.
First, women in this dynasty could study and take the imperial examinations.
Second, my parents were open-minded. They sent me to school at six and supported me all the way.
But as someone from the modern world, Lu Qingchen never expected the ancient examinations to be so difficult. As a woman, the road was even harder.
She was unwell during her county-level exam, then failed the provincial exam. Before long, she was of marriageable age, and her family kept urging her to marry.
Lu Qingchen closed her eyes and composed herself. Don't rush me, don't rush me. I'm already seeing someone!

3. The examination system is based on those of the Ming and Qing dynasties.
