A Foster Son in the Imperial Examinations

Gu Lingjun transmigrates into an imperial-examination novel as an adopted son. His adoptive father, the marquis, dies young, and his adoptive mother is determined to make her own branch inherit the marquisate. In the end, though, it is the second branch of the Weiyuan Marquis family that inherits it.

From then on, Gu Lingjun’s branch keeps tripping up the male lead, becoming a full-fledged villainous cannon-fodder family with a tragic ending.

Now that Gu Lingjun is here, he knows a man’s ambitions should stretch far and wide. There’s no need to fight over this tiny patch of land like crazed roosters. After all, besides competition where one side must die, there are also ways for everyone to win.

The male lead’s eldest brother is a gifted writer, and Gu Lingjun can also astonish the crowd with his talent.

Later, the Gu family has two marquises, bringing honor to the whole household.
