First world: The Story of Qingping Le + The Story of Wufu + some of the early episodes of The Story of Minglan

A half-hearted homebody in his previous life is suddenly reborn in Bianliang, the capital of the Song Dynasty, into a merchant family that specializes in candied fruits. After living peacefully for several years, he suddenly realizes that in a few years his father will die of illness. According to the original story, his mother will also catch an epidemic and die after returning to her hometown, while his younger brother will be sold into the palace by their aunt and made a eunuch.

“What kind of disastrous start is this? All this pressure is on the shoulders of a child of seven or eight? Are you kidding me?!”

“Xia Song never stood tall, and Han Qi was nothing special? It doesn't matter whether he is or not. Brother Han, please save your younger brother Yuansheng and his family!”

“I must come top of the imperial examinations and earn the jinshi degree, changing my Liang family's wretched fate in this life.”

“Your Majesty, this humble commoner dares to ask for a deal: save my father's life, and I will offer methods to benefit the nation and its people. I beg Your Majesty to show mercy.”

“The Li family? My mother’s surname is Li. So that's why. Isn't this The Story of Qingping Le? Why is The Story of Wufu in here too?”

The story of an ordinary commoner climbing up from the bottom, step by step, to change his whole family's fate. It all begins in the Song Dynasty.
