In the seventh year of Emperor Yuanqi's reign, Xue Ling woke up and became the concubine of the Xue family, a squire in Longmen County.
His biological mother died young, his aunt was mean, his brother was incompetent, and his father talked about family harmony, but when the stakes were really high, he would never stand on his side.
A poetry meeting at Wanghu Tower allowed everyone to see for the first time this bastard who had been suppressed in the side courtyard.
Later, he cleared the family's bad debts, traveled to the countryside, got to know people, and gradually figured out the true rules of this world.
Some rely on family status, some rely on money, some rely on clan, and some rely on favors.
Xue Ling had nothing.
Then use your own skills in exchange.
Change the opportunity to study, change the path of the imperial examination, and change the future that is no longer at the mercy of others.
From country squire and concubine, to being named on the gold medal list, and then to the temple.
In this life, he does not ask for charity from anyone.
He just wanted to see if a person who couldn't help his origins could reach the most powerful place in the world on his own.
