[Imperial Exams] [Historical Research] [Slow Burn] [One Female Lead] [Reincarnation from Birth] [Officialdom]
At dawn, a poor farmer in a humble home; by dusk, a guest in the emperor's court in the capital.
Before the Forbidden City, nine gates stand in a row, as officials in their fine caps stream through the southern gate.
Three essays reveal lofty ideals, and the emperor's own brush names him the top scholar.
With a palace flower in his cap, he faces the emperor; his name rings out as the successful candidate in the palace examination.
He rides his horse down the ten-mile imperial avenue, hailed as the top scholar of the Ming Dynasty.
This is a story of a poor scholar's rise against the odds,
and also the story of a modern person who transmigrates into ancient times,
then cultivates himself, puts his family in order, governs the nation, and brings peace to the world.
