Synopsis

In the third year of Xuande's reign, Lin Wenyuan, a top student in the history department, accidentally passed his soul into the body of a poor scholar in Kunshan County, Zhili Province, south of the Ming Dynasty. When he woke up, he was faced with the plight of a homeless family and the frail body of the original owner who suffered from a high fever due to exposure to rain. In this era when the imperial examination was the only way out, he had neither a deep family background nor extraordinary talent. He could only rely on his knowledge reserves and pragmatic thinking that far exceeded the times to find a way to counterattack from a humble family. It restores the people's livelihood, imperial examination regulations and official power in Jiangnan during the Xuande period. It not only shows the struggle and perseverance of poor scholars, but also the practice and thinking of practical reforms. Under the framework of history, it writes a passionate story about an ordinary person who relied on knowledge and original intention to change his destiny and influence his surroundings in the great era.

Reader comments

The description of the imperial examination system is relatively realistic, and the process of practicing eight-legged essays and preparing for government examinations is not suspended, which allows people to understand the difficulties of ancient scholars. The protagonist's modern thinking is used with restraint, without any excessive sense of violation.

The writing style is calm and quality! The language is not exaggerated, and the narrative is plain but powerful. It perfectly integrates the passion of counterattack from a poor family, the warmth of family affection, and the richness of historical features. It can satisfy both history lovers and ordinary readers.
