Imperial Examinations in Ancient Times: From Penniless Nobody to Grand Chancellor

My name is Mu Cang. You probably won't believe me when I tell you this.

I was sleeping peacefully, but when I woke up, I'd become a poor, down-and-out villager?!

No big deal. I can still farm with my own two hands and support myself!

But on top of being dirt poor, I also have a lovely wife to support?

Mu Cang weeps, left with no choice but to figure something out.

Well, there are a lot of people in the family.

It can't be too much to study, take the exams, sit for the imperial examinations, and get a minor official post to make ends meet, right?

In the face of everyone's ridicule, Mu Cang remains unmoved. He studies while earning money, supporting his whole family.

Then one day, a handsome man in a red official robe embroidered with cranes rides into the village on a tall horse.

Everyone drops to their knees and cries, "We pay our respects to the Grand Secretary!"
