Carrying My Whole Family to Success: I Passed the Imperial Exams at Eight

In his previous life, he was a PhD in archaeology at a top 985 university, learned in the classics. But during an examination of an ancient tomb, he accidentally transmigrates and becomes an eight-year-old boy in a poor family in ancient times.

When he opens his eyes, this is what greets him

A dilapidated thatched hut with drafts blowing through it, an almost-empty rice jar, and creditors blocking the door;

His pregnant mother, belly swollen, still struggling with the housework, her face sallow;

His young siblings, gaunt with hunger, still having to climb the hills to dig for wild vegetables;

His father and uncle, who have spent half their lives studying, have failed the imperial exams six times and become the village's notorious “old scholars who never passed the entry exam”;

His grandmother burns incense and prays to Buddha every day, dreaming that her grandson will pass the exams and she will become the “Grand Lady.” Instead, she suffers delusions and goes mad...

Most absurd of all, the family is so poor they cannot even afford paper and ink, yet they expect him, a tiny eight-year-old, to bring honor to the family and earn an official degree?!

Fortunately, he has a modern mind and the scholarly foundation of an archaeology PhD

The Four Books and Five Classics? He has a photographic memory and knows the imperial examination system inside out!

Making money to support the family? He improves farming tools, invents soap, and leads the whole village out of poverty!

Bullied by the powerful? He turns the tables with clever schemes and sends them straight to prison!

Watch a modern top student master life in an ancient poor household, rise from nothing to wield power over the court, and create a legendary life spanning a thousand years!
