Transmigrating into an Imperial Exam Novel: The Cannon Fodder Starts Playing Along

Murong Yun, a modern worker exhausted by the 996 grind, is unexpectedly chosen by a malfunctioning system and transmigrates into a scholarly examination novel as a cannon-fodder character. To change her doomed fate, she decides to disguise herself as a man and participate in the imperial examinations.

Unexpectedly, she becomes a Child of Fortune. The malfunctioning system assigns her slacker missions, allowing her to gain knowledge while taking it easy. While others study tirelessly, she naps, skips classes, and goes out in search of good food. Yet no matter how carefree she is, success seems to come effortlessly, and even first place in the provincial examination falls into her hands with ease.

The only thing she cannot figure out is the handsome scholar who keeps watching her. As the novel’s second male lead, he appears gentle, refined, and elegant by day, yet secretly sneaks into her room at night. Faced with his increasingly suspicious behavior, Murong Yun can only wonder what exactly he is after.

Meanwhile, Shangguan Xuan joins the imperial examinations under a concealed identity. The path he chooses to walk has never depended on his status.
