In the third year of Yongjing Dynasty, Lin Zheng, a modern soul, traveled through time and was born into the conflict-ridden Lin family.
As the youngest son of a second wife, he has been oppressed by the big family since he was seven years old. All the family's resources are given to the inactive uncle and third uncle. The whole family works hard, but they can only eat coarse grains, receive looks, and have to pay for other people's gambling and romantic debts.
After seven years of forbearance, Lin Zheng hid his adult mind and gained a hard-won opportunity to study with the help of his talent for remembering things that he accidentally revealed.
The mean grandmother, the troublemaking aunt, and the useless fathers, one after another family troubles continue to tear apart this declining family. On the one hand, the family members are bullied, and on the other hand, the ancestral property is constantly being sold and consumed, and they are trapped in the quagmire of a large feudal family. Compromising cannot bring stability.
He did not show off the courage of an ordinary man, and planned every step. While studying hard in a private school to polish his eight essays, he watched the internal strife in the family with a cold eye. The young man has great ambitions and uses the imperial examination as a sharp edge, hoping to break free from the shackles of his family background and protect his loved ones from suffering.
County examinations, government examinations, and college examinations are all passed through the examination rooms step by step; house fights, calculations, family separations, and turmoil in the family occur one after another.
Let's take a look at Lin Zheng, a young man who traveled through time and again, bucked the trend in the mud of a poor family, broke away from the shackles of his clan, and blazed his own path with his talent and learning.
