[Ensemble cast, farming, imperial exams, political intrigue, hegemony, no System, alternate history, everyday life]
Ming Chen transmigrates into the family of a farmer in Great Wei. Seeing the bare walls of his home, he realizes that if he doesn't want to spend his whole life farming, he'll have to embark on the long road of the imperial exams.
With his laid-back temperament, he wants neither riches nor high office in this life. All he hopes for is a peaceful life protecting the people he loves.
But the jade pendant he always carries eventually shatters his peaceful existence.
The crumbling empire is on the brink of collapse, and it won't even last until Ming Chen can marry.
Great Wei is weak. Treacherous ministers control the court, while hostile outsiders watch hungrily from beyond its borders.
Since ancient times, the realm has belonged not to one person, but to all its people.
Yet whenever dynasties rise or fall, it is always the common people who suffer. Things shouldn't be this way.
Ming Chen only wanted to set things right and give the people a chance to survive. He never expected...
The early part focuses on farming and the imperial exams, the middle on political intrigue in officialdom, and the later part on hegemony and governance.
The protagonist is kind and benevolent. Anyway, looking at it, I feel that the protagonist is the kind of person who internally consumes himself. Personally, I feel haha. If you like this kind of novel, you can read it...
It's okay, come on, come on
