Imperial Grandson + Imperial Examinations + Ancient Historical Setting + Farming
After transmigrating into the Great Wu dynasty as a farmer's son, I'm so poor I can barely scrape by. All I have to look at are a dilapidated thatched hut, ten acres of poor land, and my elderly grandparents! The sort of person who'd rather be a dog than sit the imperial exams? Well, I'm Xiao Rui, and I'm taking them! The imperial exams! I have to take them! Farming is out of the question. I'll never farm in this life!
All I care about is passing the imperial exams and becoming an official. I'll take on the powerful clans and come first in the palace examination. I want to live in a mansion in the capital and enjoy the finer things in life!
Then, on the day the results are posted, I stand beneath the imperial list, brimming with confidence. The top scholar's title is mine.
On the Golden Throne Hall, the emperor beams with delight and slowly rises from his throne. “Dear grandson, it's time to come home and inherit the throne.”
