My Family Wants Me to Become the Top Scholar

[The story's dragging too much. I can't think of anything to write for the protagonist's adult years, so I've decided to revise it. I'll update again after the revisions are done.] Su Rui was born into a family that churned out top scholars. His father was a top scholar. His father's grandfather, Su Rui's great-grandfather, was also a top scholar! And not just any top scholar: he had won the top honors in all three imperial examinations. His great-grandfather and his father, a Hanlin academician, both wanted Su Rui to study and become a top scholar. They said it wasn't difficult, but Su Rui looked at his great-grandfather, who had been demoted and promoted three times, had a head full of white hair, and never got a day off, and at his father, who had studied himself into becoming a bookworm. He couldn't help clinging to his underachiever grandfather and trembling. How terrifying! Three-and-a-half-year-old Su Rui: I don't want to become a top scholar. I want to do business and make a fortune! Many years later... Someone asked Su Rui, the first person in history to achieve the top rank in all six stages of the imperial examinations, how he'd managed to dominate all the other geniuses despite not wanting to become a top scholar. Su Rui: It all started when I got a Chancellor System... My next novel will be My Dad Is the First Emperor, and He's Reborn. If you're interested, please add it to your collection~ Mwah! My dad is the First Emperor, and he's reborn. How do I, a guy who transmigrated into Hu Hai, know this so well? Because one day, Dad the First Emperor woke up and made Zhao Gao his blade. Then he scolded my eldest brother Fusu for being foolish and inflexible and sent him off to build the Great Wall. And Dad the First Emperor looks at me strangely, sometimes gritting his teeth, sometimes inscrutable. Not long after that, he even had the cook who made him steamed salted fish executed, and ordered that salted fish never again be allowed inside Xianyang Palace!!! Uh... What else could it mean? (sobbing) Historical records say that after the First Emperor died, Zhao Gao, Li Si, and Hu Hai conspired to have Prince Fusu executed. They then buried the First Emperor's corpse in a pile of salted fish and transported it back to Xianyang. Finally, Hu Hai ascended the throne, destroyed his own family, and had all of the First Emperor's children buried alive, torn apart by chariots, or executed. The Qin dynasty fell in just two generations. And now, the First Emperor knows everything. What an epic battlefield of family drama!!!!!! Hu Hai (pondering): The only way out is to use my golden finger, the Infrastructure System! I refuse to believe that the First Emperor, who wants the Qin dynasty to last for ten thousand generations, won't be tempted by unifying the realm and having the four corners of the world pay tribute! Much later... Little Hu Hai (curious): Father, why did you have a big pit dug outside my palace / give me five horses / a bottle of poison / a knife...? Dad the First Emperor (smiling): If you can't solve XX, I'll bury you alive / tear you apart with chariots / poison you... Little Hu Hai (!!): ...o(╥﹏╥)o Someone, send a cartload of salted fish to Xianyang Palace! What could be a better example of a father and son loving each other? Other details: 1.
