The most embarrassing thing that ever happened to Cheng Hesheng was transmigrating into a rough-hewn man from northern Shaanxi and getting a female educated youth from Yenching University pregnant. Even more embarrassing, when he showed up at her home with a letter of introduction, his future mother-in-law called him a “dirt farmer,” and the neighbors made him a laughingstock. But who could have guessed that this despised live-in son-in-law was actually a hidden academic genius? He breezed through a mock college entrance exam, scoring 470. He wrote scar literature and earned enough from one story to buy a roast duck. Even when looking after a child, he could teach his six-year-old niece to recite Tang poems. Watch as Cheng Hesheng goes from a live-in son-in-law everyone looks down on to a top student at Yenching University, making a thriving life for himself along the way!
