A Poor Scholar's Road to the Top

Li Yun, a young university lecturer from the modern era, accidentally transmigrates to the Great Sheng dynasty, a world resembling the early Ming, and becomes a poor scholar who has been framed and left homeless. To survive and clear his predecessor’s name, he assumes the identity of a member of the Qinghe Cui clan. Relying on his solid grounding in historical sources and his skill at textual research, he finds ways through the imperial examinations, the imperial court, and local administration, gradually uncovering the secrets of the time and space behind his transmigration.
