Retrieving My Brother After the Imperial Exams

Fu Yuzhang transmigrates into a story about the imperial examinations as the foolish, vicious younger half-brother of the male lead. The male lead is the eldest legitimate son of the Marquis of Changping, exceptionally clever, and after passing the imperial examinations, he rises swiftly through the ranks to become a renowned minister. The original owner is determined to kill the male lead so he can inherit the marquis title. After making several attempts on his brother's life, he is finally driven out of the family by the male lead, who can no longer bear it, and meets a tragic end. Fu Yuzhang looks at his own little legs and promptly decides to cling to the male lead: "Big brother, I'm a dummy. Teach me." Why pick a fight with the male lead? Studying hard and making a future for himself is the way to go! And so, the Fu family produces two top scorers in the imperial examinations. The emperor is delighted: "I have found two pillars of the realm to serve as the crown prince's trusted ministers!" * Fu Yuzhang thinks that after the imperial examinations, he can keep clinging to his big brother. But Fu Huai'an is thrown in prison? Fu Yuzhang tries to pull some strings. Fu Huai'an is demoted, so Fu Yuzhang works hard to get promoted and tries to pull his brother out of trouble again. And so it goes: Fu Huai'an: Little brother, I'm a dummy. Get me out. Little brother, I'm a dummy. Get me out again. Fu Yuzhang, who works so hard to bail out his brother that he ends up becoming chancellor: I'm working on it, I'm working on it! Big brother, if you keep causing trouble, I'll have to sit on the throne before I can save you! PS: Inspired by the joke about Su Zhe bailing out his older brother. I'm only borrowing the joke, and would never dare base these characters on those two great men. The setting and government system are a blend, though they should lean more toward the Song dynasty. Please add my new novel, The Idle Prince Ascends the Throne, to your reading list: Huan Jie finally completes every task assigned by the grind-focused System, and happily plans a comfortable retirement with plenty of money and free time. But the trash System makes a deployment mistake, and Huan Jie becomes the newborn Sixth Prince of the Great Ye Dynasty. Huan Jie: ...Fine. As long as I keep a steady mindset, I can take it easy anywhere. Studying? What's that? I'll never get up early in this life. Sneaking out of the palace to have fun sounds much better. I absolutely refuse to let anyone in the capital be more arrogant than me! When he's bored, he can also watch the drama unfold: his eldest, second, and third brothers fight tooth and nail for power; his fourth brother is in poor health and obsessed with alchemy and cultivation; and his fifth brother is trapped in a tragic love affair, starring in a groveling pursuit of his wife. There's political intrigue, immortal cultivation, and melodrama. There's no chance of getting bored. Unexpectedly, the political landscape changes overnight. His eldest, second, and third brothers fight so viciously that all three die. His fourth brother takes too many pills and goes to join the Three Pure Ones, while his fifth brother's groveling pursuit of his wife ends with his own ashes scattered to the wind. Everyone turns their eyes to Huan Jie. Remembering some less-than-pleasant experiences as a workaholic, Huan Jie bursts into tears: Don't you dare come near me, throne! Theme: United, brothers can move mountains
