Why Can't My Father Be an Official? (Imperial Exams)

Lin Yingnan transmigrates into a book. When she wakes up, there are no maids weeping with joy at her bedside. Instead, an old woman called Madam Wang is pressuring her to spend the night with a rich man.

Lin Yingnan (stunned): ???

She used to be a second-generation homeowner, and now she's reduced to eating bean dregs. Is she really going to be forced into prostitution, too?

What does it take for women to rise up? Courage and a willingness to risk your life!

Lin Yingnan picks up a millstone and smashes things with it, sending Madam Wang scrambling away on all fours, screaming for help...

Lin Ruhai is a reasonable man. After being meek for half his life, he never expected his delicate flower of a daughter to suddenly stand up for herself, not only beating up the neighbors but hoisting him up too!

He trembles in fright, kicks his legs in midair, and begs through tears, "Put me down! I'll study, I swear!"

Lin Yingnan's mouth twitches as she casually tosses aside this useless old man of a father!

The Lin Ruhai in Dream of the Red Chamber was a stalwart Imperial Censor in Charge of Salt and a palace examination graduate. Why is this father with the same name such a sickly, clingy mess? Make the most of what you've got. The only job this useless old man can do is take the imperial examinations.

Lin Ruhai before Lin Yingnan transmigrated: Born at the wrong time, his talent unrecognized.

Lin Ruhai after Lin Yingnan transmigrated: A man of great learning, a pillar of the nation.
