In remote Xiahe Village, five-year-old “Chuanzhu” Chen Heng makes a name for himself with the memories and keen insight of a scholar from his past life. During a poetry game, he comes up with “spring fever” and “aphrodisiac” to match the prompt. At school, he memorizes the Three Character Classic at an astonishing speed, leaving even the old teacher convinced he's a prodigy. By the banks of Qingxi River, his family's secret-recipe grilled fish wins over his teachers and the noblewoman Su Baoluo. He uses wild herbs to heal the sick and tend to the wounded, revealing the first signs of his gifts as a divine physician and physiognomist.
From then on, Chen Heng keeps stumbling upon lucky breaks: he earns “Wenchang money” from the famous physician Zhang, then finds a vein of wealth hidden in a scrap of cloth. Though only a poor scholar, his talent and foresight let him hunt for mountain treasures and run a cloth business, transforming him into a double prodigy in officialdom and commerce.
He heads to the capital to sit the imperial examinations, shouldering the fate of his family and country as he rises step by step. He becomes the top candidate in the provincial examinations, scores exceptionally well in the metropolitan examinations, then travels to the capital and wins first place in the palace examination. A graceful young man blessed with literary brilliance, he enters the Hanlin Academy and uses brilliant schemes and sound policies to pacify border threats and stabilize the court. He promotes reforms, education, and agriculture, breathing new life into the Great Ming. Serving a wise ruler, he revises laws and establishes institutions, while outmaneuvering powerful ministers with ease. He becomes a pillar of the nation, revered throughout the court and the country.
This story is steeped in the earthy bustle of village life and the bloodshed of the Great Ming court, with childhood-sweetheart romance and the intrigues of the imperial harem, too. Follow Chen Heng from the back of a village ox to the heights of the Golden Throne Hall, and witness how a modern scholar changes his fate against all odds, governs the country, and writes a legendary life with knowledge and courage!
It's very readable, and the writing is good. Could you please stop a bunch of shrews from quarreling and scheming, and wait until he grows up to scheming again? The more I look at it, the more annoying it becomes! Publish more chapters!
It's good to read, and it's my favorite type, but the author just started it, and after reading a few chapters, I still have to wait, so I add it to my bookshelf first, and then read it when it's finished.
How do you say it? This is written
