Back to Ancient Times to Take the Imperial Exams

After his grandfather was demoted and sent back to their hometown, and his father fell ill and died on the way, Shen Fanqing had only just transmigrated when he woke to find himself facing his father's death, a period of mourning, and a serious illness that would soon kill him. Shen Fanqing had no choice but to struggle back from the brink of death. With his grandfather making plans and his uncle holding the family together, all Shen Fanqing wanted was to get his health back first. But with a scheming clan, a kind and gentle widowed mother, and a young little sister, as the only son of his branch of the family, Shen Fanqing could only shoulder the responsibility of supporting them all with his frail body. He studied medicine, improved farming, sat the imperial examinations, and earned a fine reputation. When the Shen family patriarch was demoted and the direct line was forced to return to their hometown, everyone thought the Shen family had fallen and would not rise again for fifty years. Who could have guessed that barely ten years later, the sickly young man everyone had thought would die young would return in triumph? After that, no one envied the sons of noble families anymore. There was no one in the world like Shen Qinglang. ※ The male lead takes the imperial examinations.
