The Road to Success (Imperial Examinations)

Shen Bowen woke up one morning to find himself in ancient times. His predecessor was already married, with elderly parents above him and children below. He was the eldest son in the family and its only scholar. Unfortunately, after passing the first imperial exam, he failed every subsequent attempt, so he had opened a private school to make a living. Shen Bowen looked at his family, then at himself. He didn't know how to make glass or gunpowder, and he couldn't lead an army into battle. In that case, he might as well pick up the books again, using his predecessor's memories, and keep taking the imperial exams. Who knew that before long, he would become the youngest minister, senior minister, and grand secretary in Great Zhou? Theme: Only hard work and ambition can change your fate.
