I Have a Pocket Dimension and Take the Imperial Exams

(PS: Ratings are low at first, but they’ll gradually improve. Also, this story is entirely fictional.)

Lao Xia, a food blogger, suddenly drops dead and is reborn in the womb as a baby in the Great Qi Dynasty. Follow him as he keeps his feet on the ground and works his way up, studying until he becomes a high-ranking official.

Huh, I’ve been reborn in the womb, and my family is so poor.

Huh, I have a storage space!

Huh, my family really doesn’t know how to make the most of things!

This little boy loves making money from a young age, excels at his studies, and is the most handsome lad for miles around!

Things to know before reading:

1. There is no harem in this book. There is only one female lead. If that’s not your thing, please steer clear.

2. Most prices for goods are based on brief records in the Old Book of Tang, the New Book of Tang, the Comprehensive Mirror to Aid in Government, and the Tongdian. A few are drawn from other sources, while most are the author’s own estimates. Please don’t flame me if anything is imprecise.

3. The golden finger in this story isn’t especially powerful. The protagonist makes a lot of money early on, but it won’t be so easy later. Also, the storage space is only for keeping supplies. He can’t open it during the imperial exams, so he won’t use it to cheat.

4. This is an imperial-exam and farming story, with a few natural disasters. There’s no avoiding that: during Emperor Gaozong of Tang Li Zhi’s reign, there were more than seventy disasters, large and small.

5. This story is a slow burn. The early chapters focus on family life and making money, with court politics coming later. The protagonist will also develop a few basic technologies, so please don’t read if that bothers you.

5. This is a fictional dynasty based on the Tang Dynasty, not a true historical account. It’s purely for entertainment, so history buffs who demand strict accuracy should steer clear.
