During the Jiajing period, Chen Yan, a boy from a poor family, was trapped in the dilemma of being surrounded by disciples and being looked down upon by his clan. After narrowly escaping a serious illness and returning to another world, he has become calm and resourceful than his peers ever since.
His family was impoverished and his relatives were bullied. Chen Yan was unwilling to sink into his fate and used his childish body to support the family. He instructed his father to use bamboo as utensils, improve the craftsmanship, and turn the worthless moso bamboo into a popular study tool in the private school. Step by step, he got rid of hunger and cold and stabilized the foundation of the poor family.
When he first entered the Zhenmeng School, he was dressed plainly and his writing was crude. He was ridiculed and made things difficult by Zhang Hao, a young man from a wealthy family, in public and framed secretly. Chen Yan was neither humble nor arrogant, he was forbearing and tolerant. With his photographic memory, correctness and calmness, he won the first prize in the hall examination, won the favor of his master, and was named the leader of the Mongolian School, which shocked the whole hall.
The road to study in a poor family is full of thorns at every step. There are rogues who interfere with business, there are classmates who are evil and they target them everywhere, there are clans that look coldly at them, and there are also layers of shackles imposed on children from poor families by the world. But Chen Yan never bowed his head. He resolved the crisis with his wisdom, convinced everyone with his talent and learning, and won people's hearts with his virtue. He gained a firm foothold in Xiao Meng School and gradually became famous.
From raising a family to aspiring to take the imperial examination, from a humble boy in the countryside to a school leader, he used his pen as a blade and ink as a front to forge ahead in the years of poverty. With the unity of the family as a shield, the teacher's teachings as a lamp, and one's own tenacity as the backbone, the shackles of one's family background are broken step by step.
This is a journey of counterattack for a child from a humble family, rising from the dust and working hard in adversity. With his talent, learning, and solitude, he will eventually make his mark on the road to the imperial examination.

Keep up this unhurried and unhurried pace. Nowadays, there are so many templated openings with strong conflicts and fast pace. I am tired of reading it. It is not easy to find such a historical farming imperial examination article with a plot that is unhurried and unhurried. It is not that style. If you dare to change it, I will abandon the book and stop reading it.
