Programmer Li Ran wakes up one day to find that he has transmigrated to ancient times and become a poor scholar, also named Li Ran, who is about to sit the imperial examinations! The problem is that in his previous life, he relied on a calculator for all his math and pinyin input for all his Chinese, while his knowledge of history never went beyond TV dramas. Even more absurdly, the era he’s transmigrated to has a “key university” called Tsinghua Academy, and he has to take something like the “Eight-Province Joint Entrance Exam”!
To make matters worse, just as he finishes writing an exam paper, a mysterious cat leaps onto his desk and runs off with it. That makes him the first person in history ordered to retake an exam because his paper went missing!
To survive, he has no choice but to study like crazy, only to unknowingly send the entire academic world of ancient times down a very different path...
