A Scion of a Military Family? He's the Leader of the Confucians!

Li Qi, who is on the verge of securing a government job through the civil service exam, transmigrates as a spoiled son from a military family. From the start, he's facing expulsion by the Imperial Academy's headmaster, while his father insists he take the imperial examinations and become a civil official.

Li Qi wants to lie flat, but his grandfather threatens him: if he won't take the exams and become an official, he'll join the army and practice swordsmanship with a bunch of unruly soldiers.

Worried he'll lose his job, Li Qi promptly declares, "I'll study and take the exams!"

One poem, "Ode to the Lime," leaves his teacher slapping the table in admiration and changing his mind.

One piece, "Rhapsody on the Luo Goddess," wins the heart of a peerlessly beautiful woman, who swears she'll marry no one but him.

One policy, the "Order of Favorable Grants," leaves the emperor slapping the table in admiration and talking with him by candlelight late into the night!

The Grand Chancellor of Daqing: "Li Qi is my fellow disciple. With him around, I can hardly feel at ease as Grand Chancellor!"

Princess Changle, the most beautiful of the Four Beauties of the Realm: "Li Qi's talent is unmatched beneath heaven. I'll marry no one but him!"

The Emperor of Daqing: "Li Qi excels in both civil and military affairs. He's a pillar of Daqing!"

Master Yan of the Imperial Academy: "Li Qi is the most talented and outstanding student I've ever taught!"
