You Think I'm a Country Bumpkin? I Broke Off the Engagement and Raised a Top Scholar

[Farming in an Ancient Setting | Local Ensemble Cast | Broken Engagement and Face-Slapping | Imperial Exam Comeback]

After the county exam results are posted, Wang Yougen looks down on Jin Huan for being a village girl, breaks off their engagement in public, and turns around to curry favor with the daughter of a government student.

Rumors fly, and the whole village waits to laugh at Jin Huan for being unable to marry.

Who would have thought that the unwanted dependent whom the Wang family treated like a beast of burden would reclaim her place at the county school, move next door to the Jin family, and go on to pass the imperial examinations and enter officialdom?

She ends the engagement decisively, without dwelling on past grievances.

Even trapped in the mire, she cannot be held back from her brilliant talents.

Neither transmigration nor rebirth, and no golden finger. See how a rural farming family raises a scholar who passes the imperial examinations!
