The Dream of the Red Chamber: The Villainous Minister of the Ages

His soul transmigrates into an alternate-world version of Dream of the Red Chamber, where he becomes a poor scholar. For three years, he endures hunger and cold and sees the harshness of the world. With the System’s help, he fills his mind with learning and becomes a man of extraordinary talent. He fights his way through the imperial examinations, reads the new emperor’s mood during the palace exam, and claims first place to become the top scholar of the year. His reward from the System: mind reading! On his first day at court, he sees everyone else traveling by carriage while he alone has to walk, instantly stirring up resentment and a sense of injustice within him. Right then and there, he vows to become a treacherous official who sleeps with beauties in his arms and rules the world when he wakes.
