After a sudden death, Shen Yan, a social worker with double majors in history and engineering, was reborn as a descendant of a declining gentry in the Dajing Dynasty. At the beginning, he suffered the humiliation of breaking off the engagement and was called a "waste" by his clan. He even failed in the provincial examination for three years.
Fortunately, [Historical System] is close by, so I can read the entries of characters, predict the trend of events, and know the past and future!
Taking advantage of the poor information about the locust plague, he backhandedly defrauded his snobbish in-laws who broke off the engagement; with the support of the system, he counterattacked from the bottom of the academy to become a top student; relying on his talent for managing the world, he wrote the "Book of Encouragement to Farmers" to save the people, and used his strategies to criticize the current ills and shocked the court.
How does a poor scholar counterattack and become the number one scholar? How did a declining gentry rise to power?
Shen Yan said: First take the test to calm down the shock, and then correct the mess in Dajing bit by bit! By the way, take the cold and talented girl from the academy home and rewrite the fate of this dynasty.
