The Road to Success on a Small Plot of Land: A Poor Scholar’s Rise to Office

Lu Xuan is a modern soul who transmigrated into the body of a young farmer's son. All he wants is to tend the family's small plot of land, marry a sweet young wife, and enjoy a leisurely country life. But his family tightens their belts to send him to school, pushing him onto the “one-way road” of the imperial examinations. Lu Xuan has no golden finger or extraordinary talent, but with sheer perseverance and the optimistic attitude of “when in Rome, do as the Romans do,” he goes from a clueless underachiever in the classroom to a rising star, overcoming every obstacle until he becomes a renowned statesman. His life is like a towering tree grown from a tiny plot of land: rooted in the ordinary, yet ultimately achieving the extraordinary.
