A Ninth-Rank Official's Daily Struggle to Support His Family (Imperial Exams)

My next upcoming historical transmigration story: Daily Life of Foraging and Making a Fortune on an Ancient Island

Lin Yu transmigrated into the head of a household in ancient times: a low-ranking ninth-grade county magistrate, thirty years old, with six children already, four daughters and two sons! The original owner was an utterly mediocre minor official, and because of his mediocrity, his children were all cannon-fodder or walk-on characters in the book.

What he didn't know was that his troublesome children could all hear their father's thoughts.

His eldest son was the foil to the male lead of an imperial examination novel. He repeatedly failed the exams and loved gambling. That good-for-nothing had squandered the family's entire fortune. As soon as Lin Yu transmigrated, he had to go bail him out.

Lin Size: Let's see what this "scumbag dad" is going to do to me!

Lin Yu saw him and thought, He's just a kid.

Lin Size: ...Help me up. I can do this again.

Later, Lin Size passed the exams with top honors, became the youngest chancellor in the history of the Great Wei, and spent the rest of his life most grateful to his father.

"I love the imperial exams, but I love my father even more."

There was also his youngest son, a useless darling of the family; his eldest daughter, a cannon fodder in the palace intrigue plot; and his second daughter, a hopeless romantic... Under Lin Yu's care, every one of them changed their fate. His eldest son became a prime minister, his eldest daughter a queen, and his youngest son a high-ranking minister...

Father and sons served together at court, brothers worked in harmony, sisters lived in unity, and husband and wife shared deep affection.

#May Heaven bless our clan, may its fortune endure, may its descendants flourish, and may its glory be recorded in history!#

This is the story of an adorable eighteen-year-old dad who leads his whole family to the pinnacle of success.

As for Lin Yu himself

At first: "Hahaha, my son passed the palace exam! I'm still just a county magistrate."

Later: "Waaah, my son is chancellor now! I'm still just a county magistrate."

The truth was that the county Lin Yu administered was the best in the realm. It produced more successful candidates in the imperial exams each year than any other, paid the most tax silver, grew enough grain to feed the whole country, had four trading ports, and was renowned overseas...

The emperor sent three consecutive edicts urging him to go to the capital and take up a high-ranking post. Lin Yu replied, "Being a county magistrate is fine. I'm happy as a county magistrate."
