A Woman in a Man's Body: My Seven Sisters Must Stop Funding Their Brother

[Imperial Exam Story] [No Romance] [Early Story: Business, Farming, and Studying] [Later Story: Taking the Imperial Exams, Becoming a Village Official, and Building a New Countryside]

A modern woman transmigrates into the body of a young boy from a farming family in ancient times.

The Jiang family had seven daughters in a row. The villagers mocked them for failing to produce a son and said their family would die out. Jiang's mother gritted her teeth and risked her life to give birth to a boy. The whole family was overjoyed. They all spoiled this only son, and he grew up useless.

His sisters would rather let the whole family suffer than let their little brother go without. Their own children wore coarse, ragged clothes and ate bran and greens, while every penny and egg they saved went to him. They raised him into a spineless good-for-nothing.

Whenever the little brat ran out of money, he held out his hand to his sisters and brothers-in-law. If they refused, he beat them: today he'd punch his third brother-in-law, tomorrow he'd kick his fourth, and the day after that he'd slap several of his sisters.

Heaven finally opened its eyes. The original owner got drunk, fell into a pond, and died. A modern woman's soul transmigrated into his body and took his place.

Unable to stomach his seven sisters' appalling habit of indulging their brother, Jiang Yiming roared, "No more spoiling me! From now on, I'll support you. I'm a man, so I'll hold up the sky if it falls."

His seven sisters said, "If the sky falls, your brothers-in-law can hold it up. You just focus on your studies and becoming a high-ranking official."

His brothers-in-law were nearly drained dry. Give them a break! Just because they had a conscience didn't mean they should be guilt-tripped into doing everything.

Jiang Yiming rolled up his sleeves, took the imperial exams, went into business, and led his family and relatives to turn over a new leaf and build their fortunes.

Of all pursuits, studying is the noblest.

It wasn't that he was some selfless saint. In the future, he planned to enter government through the imperial exams, and a bad reputation could cost him the right to sit them.

Everyone would get rich together. The goal was for you, me, and everyone else to be happy.
