Dressed as a Peasant, I Became a Powerful Official in the Ming Dynasty by Taking the Imperial Examination

Lin Wenzhou, a doctor of ancient literature, traveled through time and became a farm boy in Suzhou Prefecture during the Hongzhi period. The family is bare and has two meals a day of gruel. The only literate person in the village was an old boy who had not been admitted as a scholar after twenty years of examination. But Lin Wenzhou knew that his greatest weapon was not luck, but the knowledge and methods in his head. Memory curve, Feynman technique, systematic learning - he used modern cognitive science to reduce the dimensionality to attack the Ming Dynasty imperial examination. From the first in the county examination to the first in the college examination, from the provincial examination to the first place in the national examination, every step was the inevitable result of sweat, not an accident from heaven. How difficult is this road? The family was poor and had no books, so he copied books for others to earn paper and ink; in the cold winter months, he dipped bricks in water to practice calligraphy; he was reading when others were sleeping, and writing strategies when others were playing. What's even more rare is that when he was at his most impoverished, he won the love of a rich girl - not because he won the top prize, but because she saw the immortal light in him in the most inconspicuous corner. From the mud-legged man to the number one scholar, from the Hanlin Academy to the imperial court, this is a story about "effort". There is no golden finger, only a pen, a book, and a heart that never admits defeat.
