A Woman Disguised as a Man's Path to Success in Ancient Times

After staying up all night, she woke up to find herself inexplicably transformed into a farm boy in an unknown dynasty.

With two older sisters and no other son in the family, he was the only boy, and his arrival finally let his family hold their heads high in the village.

No one dared spread the nasty rumor that the family would die out without a male heir, and no one dared target them anymore.

But for him, this was a dream start from the start, except his family was so poor they could barely scrape together a few coins after spending everything to have a son.

The adults only wanted to teach him how to farm well, but there was never enough to eat.

After all that effort, studying still seemed like the surest path.

He would earn money and study, all to carve out a path to success.

Content warning: A woman transmigrates into a man's body; he marries and has children, with one partner throughout.

The imperial examination system is modeled on those of the Song and Ming dynasties.
