The Entire Court Knows Prince Jing Spoils That Young Top Scholar

An alternate world, an alternate world, an alternate world. We can't stress it enough. Shen Qingyan transmigrates and becomes a sickly scholar from a fallen family. His clan uncle is trying to seize the family property and force him into debt, while his classmates scheme against him and try to hold him back. The one consolation is that he still has all his modern knowledge. The imperial exams? He puts the summarizing method and mind maps to good use, rising from top marks in the county exam all the way through the ranks. The people's livelihood? He promotes farming techniques and establishes schools for commoners, bringing modern management skills to ancient society. His enemies? Armed with the Great Sheng Code, he sets clever traps, outwits powerful men, and advances one careful step at a time. Yet a prince in black is always there, protecting him from the shadows. He gives him medicine, ink, and money, and always appears in time whenever Shen Qingyan is in danger. Shen Qingyan cups his hands. "Your Highness has done so much for me. This student..." Prince Jing, Xiao Yan, cuts him off coolly. "No need to thank me. I have never protected you out of a sense of obligation." Later, the newly crowned top scholar presents his policy proposal before the emperor: "The foundation of a strong nation lies in educating its people, equipping them with skills, and ensuring their well-being." The court erupts. The conservatives rise up against him. Prince Jing stands before the throne. His sword remains sheathed, yet his presence fills the hall. "I stake my life and military honors on his proposal." Emperor Jinghe smiles. "Approved. My realm could use a new flame." From then on, the prince forges ahead, overcoming every obstacle, while the top scholar sows the seeds of change. From a single county to a vast realm, from hardship for the people to the dawn of a golden age. Together, they turn the spark of modern civilization into a blazing sun that illuminates their era.
