Under the absurd whims of fate, the male lead, Jiang Yunche, is plagued by misfortune and accidentally stumbles into the world of a novel called The Concubine’s Son Rises to Power. He transforms into the legitimate eldest son of Jiang Muyang, a seventh-rank county magistrate. The original story is full of ridiculous twists. The novel’s male lead, the concubine’s son Jiang Linfeng, shines like a brilliant new star: studious and ambitious, talented and perceptive. Despite being relentlessly oppressed by his venomous legitimate mother, Lin Wanqing, he surges ahead in the imperial examinations, takes the top honors in all three exams, and enjoys a smooth career, rising steadily until he reaches the highest rank and earns great glory.
By contrast, the original Jiang Yunche is the legitimate eldest son, but a thoroughly foolish and unruly brat. He repeatedly plots against the novel’s male lead, the concubine’s son, and frames him with underhanded tricks, ultimately meeting a miserable end with not a trace of his body left. It’s a tragic fate indeed.
When Jiang Yunche transmigrates into this world, he faces a situation of hellish difficulty. His mother has been divorced without mercy by his county-magistrate father for violating one of the Seven Reasons for Divorce. Jiang Yunche himself is also ruthlessly struck from the family register and cast out as a family outcast for framing his younger half-brother. But Jiang Yunche has an exceptionally strong mindset, and he feels not the slightest panic or fear. He throws himself into the imperial exam System that transmigrated alongside him, as if he’s found the key to opening the door to a new world, and resolutely embarks on a thrilling journey of leveling up and defeating enemies.
With the System’s help, he studies hard day and night, constantly improving his knowledge and abilities. He gives every challenge his all, and after every setback, he quickly regroups and starts again. Like a tireless warrior, he fights bravely on the battlefield of the imperial exams.
