Xie Jingyu transmigrates, and finds himself in a nightmare from the start.
His father died young, his mother is meek, his uncle's branch of the family watches them like a hawk, and even the wicked servants dare to speak harshly to him.
At the imperial examination, he is set up to witness a bloody scene. Branded a “coward who fainted,” he becomes the laughingstock of the whole city.
Everyone is waiting to see the mother and son thrown out of their home.
Then comes the day the results are posted
Drums and gongs ring out, and the good news arrives once more!
“Congratulations to the eldest young master of the Xie family, who has passed the provincial examination in first place!”
Amid the stunned silence, Xie Jingyu helps his tearful mother to her feet and finally holds his head high.
He has no idea that deep in the palace, a dream about the “White Crane Boy” has already drawn him into an even greater storm...
A discarded son rises again, and a spark becomes a prairie fire.
Good, that's satisfying, that's cathartic.
