Madam, Actually, I Want to Lie Flat

Zhuang Yichen was a benevolent man in nine lifetimes. To make up for his mistake, King Yama decided to send him back to ancient times and casually gave him a spell that could stop time.

When Zhuang Yichen awoke, he found himself the only son of the Vice Minister of War, a perennial student in Class C at the martial arts academy, and a notorious second-generation rich kid in Luojing.

His fiancée-to-be, Su Yumeng, set just one condition: "If you can win the top place in the imperial martial arts examinations, I'll marry you."

I've lived nine lifetimes, Zhuang Yichen, and gained a wealth of experience. I even have a spell that stops time. Surely I can do whatever I want in ancient times!

The top place? Do I really need to take an exam for that?

Fine. If it's what it takes to turn my fiancée into my wife, I'll just have to take the top place!
