She Held a Reunion Feast, and the Entire Court Showed Up?

[Group transmigration + ensemble cast + no System + imperial examinations + everyday academy life in the early story + political intrigue in the middle and later story] (Everyone is highly intelligent and career-driven; the heroine has no romance)

An earthquake sent Zhu Lan and her entire class of top students into a book, where they became a notorious group of failures!

How could they turn things around? Oh, apparently all they had to do was pass the highest-level imperial exam. What a relief!

Teacher Xie: Why are my students forcing me to study? Boohoo... I can't teach this class anymore!!

The academy head: I told you to try the imperial exams, not for every single one of you to pass!

The emperor: Beloved Minister Zhu, come and tell me what you think of this sketch I drew.

Years later, Zhu Lan, the dynasty's female chief minister, hosted a reunion banquet. The Empress Dowager, the commander-in-chief, the head of the Court of Judicial Review, the Imperial Preceptor, ministers, a marquis, and the richest man in Great Liang all showed up!

As everyone ate hotpot and sang, Zhu Lan said, “Our whole class transmigrated here together. What's wrong with throwing a party?”
