After transmigrating, Ning Caichen awakens the Exam Journey System.

"Ding-dong! Host, the road to the capital is long. Every day you travel, you'll grow stronger. As long as you make it to the capital, you'll place first in the imperial examinations, marry a princess, become a chief minister, and reach the pinnacle of life."

"To train the Host's abilities, Heaven has specially prepared eighty-one trials. Once you overcome them all, you'll become the greatest scholar of all time, with a mind to rival Confucius and Mencius, and poetry to rival Du Fu and Su Shi."

First Trial: The past with a beauty is too painful to revisit. Love is hard to resist, yet Ning Caichen does.

Halfway to the exams, a female ghost breaks into Ning Caichen's room in the middle of the night. After hearing her recount the suffering she endured in life, Ning Caichen feels deep sympathy for her and "willingly" lets her absorb his yang energy. She drains him all night, and he saves her.

As for Ning Caichen, all he has to do is travel for a day to recover completely, and his writing improves as well.

And so Ning Caichen begins a life of battling female demons and monsters.

"Fox spirit, as a subject of the Ming Dynasty, how could I stand by and let you die?" The fox spirit's core is nourished by his pure yang energy.
