Reborn as the Bridegroom Who Placed Last in the Exams

Meng Jingming, the Grand Secretary who held power over the court, died peacefully at the age of eighty. His dutiful children and grandchildren gathered around him, as did his students and old friends. Even the emperor came in person to the Meng residence to bid farewell to the Imperial Tutor who had served two reigns.

Meng Jingming looked around. His life had seen many ups and downs, but he had nothing to be ashamed of in his service to his family or his country.

Except for one thing: he had failed his wife, who died young.

When he woke again, Meng Jingming found himself reborn on the day the provincial exam results were announced.

His shabby-clothed page beamed.
