[No golden finger + imperial examinations + everyday life in an alternate-history setting + history]
From the moment he was born, Zhao Jinwen had a hundred mu of land waiting for him to inherit. When he heard how much land his father owned, his heart filled with joy. With all that land, he would never have to worry about food or drink. He could have others farm it while he collected the rent! He was already tired of the rat race in his previous life. In this one, he just wanted to be a small landowner, marry a lovely wife, keep two concubines, and live out his days as a landlord in the countryside.
But when he was five, his family was forced to sell fifty mu of land to pay off his uncle’s debts, and his rural dream fell apart!
His father was determined to make his son bring glory to the family, but with money running short, he had no choice but to send him to a local village school.
“Xiaowen, study hard. Your father is counting on you to bring glory to the family!”
Then the court began conscripting men for military service, and Zhao Jinwen felt the danger closing in. For his family’s sake, and his own, he had no choice but to get back to what he used to do.
But it seems he may have gone a little too far...
