Shen Ye saw a multiple-choice question on Douyin: You are given two options, first: be with your first love; second: travel to a different world and write an epic (plus one for intelligence).
He commented casually, I'll choose the second one. Then put down your phone and go to sleep.
When he opened his eyes again, he was lying on top of a peasant boy who had been beaten to death. Broken ribs, broken left arm, and bruises all over his body. The murderer is the county magistrate's son, just because he helped his childhood sweetheart to block the dirty hands on the street.
And his golden finger only has one line of light instructions. Intelligence plus one: improved perception of essence, photographic memory, calm thinking.
There is no system, no sign-in, and no unlimited upgrades. Just a slightly smarter brain.
In this world where the aristocratic clan covers the sky with only one hand, he wants to use the imperial examination as the only way to rise from the adobe house in Wangping County to Tianjing City. And those who want him dead inside and outside the examination room, such as the county magistrate, the Cao Gang, the White Lotus Sect, and the extraordinary beings who are countless levels stronger than him, will eventually become stepping stones on his growth path.
