Ji Yuan transmigrated to an unknown dynasty. He woke up to find himself poked by a calf. After he came to his senses, he realized that he had become an eight-year-old orphan cowherd. The resounding sounds of reading nearby pulled him back to reality. Ji Yuan looked at the silly calf, then at the bustling private school next door. From then on, the cowherd gained a new hobby: being an auditor!
His cousin in the private school mocked him, and the village chief's grandson teased him, saying, "A cowherd wants to take the imperial examination? Dreaming!" Ji Yuan didn't care at all.
Today a cowherd, tomorrow a top scholar. He, Ji Yuan, was determined to take the imperial examination! Xiucai, Juren, Jinshi. How did he end up... seemingly becoming the top scholar?
Many years later, the handsome top scholar recalled his past and couldn't help but say, "That was an ordinary afternoon?"
The Grand Secretary looked at his most beloved disciple, rolled his eyes, "With such talent, still reminiscing? Hurry up and become an official!"
The first thing Ji Yuan did after becoming an official: still herding cattle!
Herding cattle, tilling fields, building infrastructure and roads—never forgetting his original aspirations!
Many more years later, the deeds of the newly appointed Grand Secretary Ji Yuan had spread throughout the land.
What's wrong with herding cattle? You can take the imperial examination even by herding cattle!
PS: 1v1, romance appears after sixteen years old. Imperial examination, infrastructure building, farming.

Promoting my upcoming novel "Transmigrating to Be a County Magistrate" and food novel "Little Matchmaker" for collection~
"Transmigrating to Be a County Magistrate"
Ji Chu transmigrated and became a young county magistrate about to take office. He came from a family of scholar-farmers; his entire family of over ten people supported him in his studies for twenty years. Not wanting to trouble his family any further, the original body quickly participated in the selection process after passing the imperial examination. The original body, with no foundation or connections, was sent to a bandit-ridden border region for duty. He thought he would never return in this life, but unexpectedly died on the way, replaced by the current Ji Chu.
Ji Chu looked at his newlywed wife, who had hurried on the journey with him, and then at the nearby border. He gritted his teeth and took office. Upon arriving at the border, he repaired city walls, hoarded grain, reclaimed wasteland, and enriched the common people.
"Huh? They said foreign tribes would frequently invade, so why aren't they coming?"
Subordinate: "Look at the city walls you built! Look at the bows and arrows you designed! Who dares to approach?!"
Those who invade my border! I'll chase you five hundred miles first!
As this county magistrate, how does it feel like he's about to be enfeoffed as a marquis?
"Little Matchmaker (Food)"
Su Yin, a modern person who grew up listening to traditional opera 'Little Matchmaker' in an orphanage, accidentally transmigrated to an unknown ancient dynasty, becoming a newborn baby. While her mother was in confinement with her, she had already arranged a good marriage for a neighboring elder sister. Thus, she was named Su Yinyin.
Who would have thought that from then on, every couple she encountered became united?
Like getting lost and helping a pair of young lovers who wanted to commit suicide together.
Like a garden stroll leading to a future top scholar and a young lady.
Or even falling down and grabbing the clothes of two eligible young people!
Her general father hugged her and said coldly to her brother, "See? Our little sister is the luckiest in our family."
What is this about?!
Who knew her equally cold-faced brother would nod heavily, immediately agreeing with this statement!
After that, Su Yinyin became a famous little matchmaker far and wide. Any older youth who couldn't find a partner would come to see her. Even the Empress Dowager was curious about this lucky little girl and specially summoned her for an audience.
Wait, why does the Crown Prince beside the Empress Dowager look so familiar? Isn't this her good friend who helped her persuade someone not to jump into the river?! Su Yinyin subconsciously looked over, and with that glance, her own marriage was set.
PS:
Su cub is pampered by everyone; everyone likes her.
Daily life style.
