The Villainous Imperial Tutor in an Imperial Exam Novel

Gu Tingjun transmigrated into an imperial-examination novel as the wicked younger brother.

In the original story:

He was inferior to his elder brother, Gu Tinghua, in every way. To seize the family's noble title and take sole control of its estate, he laid a trap that drove Gu Tinghua to a country manor, where he was falsely imprisoned. He also passed off his brother's poems as his own and won fame as a gifted poet.

His famous poems belonged to someone else, his jinshi degree came from cheating in the examinations, and he bought his official post... Through sheer confusion, Gu Tingjun was even appointed the emperor's tutor, the Grand Tutor. The regent didn't want the young emperor to become capable, so he deliberately chose a man who was quite famous but useless as an embroidered pillow, hoping he would ruin the young emperor's education.

As for Gu Tinghua, he escaped death, changed his name, and sat the imperial examinations. He rose quickly through the ranks, commanding troops despite being a civil official and beating the rebels so badly they questioned their own existence. Along the way, he wiped out the entire Marquis of Huai'an's household.

Don't ask. The rebels did it. At the time, the Marquis of Huai'an was his younger brother, Gu Tingjun. But Gu Tingjun didn't die either. His exam cheating had been exposed, and he was already behind bars. Then he used the young emperor's dependence on his tutor to escape punishment and kept courting disaster right up to the end.

When Gu Tingjun arrived, the original owner was in the middle of causing trouble QAQ

Why bother? The fallen Marquis of Huai'an's household wasn't worth fighting over. Inheriting the family business was exhausting. In his previous life, Gu Tingjun had inherited the family company and worked himself to death. This time, he was going to lie back and enjoy life. His brother could become a powerful minister while he enjoyed himself. Each stage of life has its own beauty. No need to worry about food and daily necessities, and someone else will shield him from the wind and rain. How great is that?

So the brothers went to school together. His brother was the top student, and he was the school bully. His catchphrase: "My brother's got my back."

During the palace examination for the imperial degree:

The officials were envious: "That shabby Marquis of Huai'an has managed to raise a fine pair of sons."

The emperor was torn: Should he name the elder brother or the younger brother top scholar? They were like two brilliant luminaries, both outstanding.

Receiving the emperor's questioning look, the chief grand secretary said: "Young Master Gu is a handsome young man. By tradition, the title of top beauty belongs to him!"

Gu Tingjun: "Thanks a lot."

Later, the brothers were both recorded in the History of Yong. Gu Tinghua was known as the elder Gu Chancellor, and Gu Tingjun as the younger Gu Chancellor. Several adaptations were made, and without exception, Gu Tingjun was played by a handsome, elegant actor, a treat for anyone who loves beautiful men.

Viewers were puzzled: "How did the younger Gu Chancellor, such a spendthrift, manage to usher in a golden age and extend the Great Yong dynasty by two hundred years?"
