A soul from modern times accidentally traveled through time and became Li Yan, the third son of an ordinary farmer's family in Qingxi Village of the Great Xia Dynasty. The original owner of this body was born with the power of photographic memory. Although his family was poor, he had an extraordinary familiarity and love for the classics and history.
The eldest brother is diligent in farming, the second brother is skilled in craftsmanship, and the two sisters-in-law have different personalities but both care about him. His parents silently place their hope on him to change the family situation. An unexpected heat stroke allowed him from another world to take over this ordinary but tender life.
With the accumulation of modern knowledge and the talent of photographic memory, Li Yan knew that the imperial examination was a smooth way for children from poor families to change their destiny. But his vision goes beyond that - to control pests and farm cattle, he uses modern agriculture and life wisdom to solve problems for his family; by reading classics and researching policies, he prepares for the imperial examination with insights beyond his time.
From studying hard under the oil lamp in the adobe house to stepping out of the vast world of Qingxi Village, he not only wanted to give his family a good life, but also cherished the ideal of using what he learned to benefit all people and serve the country. The road leading from the field to the court is full of thorns, but it is also shining with the warmth of family affection and the firmness of faith. Let's see how Li Yan, a farmer's boy, writes his own legend in another world by relying on his dual compound advantages.
