In order to have books to read, Yuan Mingshu has no choice but to leave his hometown. By a twist of fate, he arrives in Mengze County.
At a restaurant, he earns silver to support himself while studying under a teacher and preparing for the imperial exams.
After passing the qualifying exam for child scholars at such a young age, he returns to Yuanjia Village and takes the place of his uncle Yuan Fulu in the Yuan family. He also brings Yang Qingyan back to the village. Seeing the girl’s clothes and accessories, Old Master Yuan assumes she is a young lady from a wealthy family and regards Yuan Mingshu’s return in a whole new light.
