[Imperial examinations + transmigration + a touch of ensemble cast + golden finger + teaching]
A modern teacher transmigrates to the past and puts down roots as a village schoolteacher, armed with forward-thinking educational ideas and a “farm produce exchange System.” He may not be able to teach the eight-legged essay, but he can teach his students to think big. He may not be able to write policy essays, but he can cultivate future ministers.
As his students leave the town one by one and rise to the imperial court, and children from humble families begin to shake the foundations of the great clans, the entire dynasty starts asking the same question:
Who exactly is that schoolteacher in Qinghe Town?
