In the afternoon during the rainy season, Li Ming, a graduate student in the Department of History, was looking through the Jiangnan Township Examination Papers from the Guangxu Period in the archives. He accidentally discovered that the name "Jiangnan Li Ming" on the examination paper was the same as his own name, and the handwriting was 70% similar. The moment his fingertips touched the ink, thunder struck the old locust tree outside the window, and blue-violet lightning penetrated the glass. He was enveloped in a scorching force and plunged into darkness.
When he woke up again, Li Ming found himself in a strange Tukang, becoming a poor scholar at the age of sixteen - the original owner was trying to get medicine for himself with a high fever, and fell into a coma while fishing in the rain when he hit a rock. In front of him is his mother, who has gray temples and is worried about him. Her family is poor and only has half a basket of sweet potatoes and wild vegetable dumplings. Li Ming, who had received the memory of the original owner, understood that he had traveled to this dynasty, and the only way to survive for the original owner and bring his mother to a good life was to take the imperial examination. A survival in another world that started with thunder has begun.
