Ming Dynasty Civil Servant: My Forty Years of the Wanli Era

[No System + Soul Transmigration + Slow-Burn + Ming Dynasty Imperial Exams]

Zhang Fu'an's soul transmigrates into an impoverished farming family in the third year of the Wanli reign, where he becomes a young scholar who must observe mourning rites.

No System, no golden finger.

His father has just died, and he must observe twenty-seven months of mourning. His path to the imperial examinations hasn't even begun, yet survival is already a struggle.

The family has no food to last the night, his mother is gravely ill, and his little sister needs feeding.

Malicious neighbors circle, and petty officials hound them for taxes.

He puts down the Confucian classics and picks up an abacus and The Great Ming Code.

Starting by sorting out an old, tangled account, he searches between the soil, the sea breeze, and cold legal statutes for a narrow path to survival, for himself and the fragile family depending on him.
