After Placing First in All Six Exams, My Whole Family Begged Me to Rejoin the Clan!

After transmigrating, Liu Yu became the least favored concubine-born son of the Liu family in Lin'an. His stepmother was a hypocrite, his younger brother was vicious, and his father took their side. They piled one false accusation after another on him. Liu Yu would endure it no longer. In the ancestral hall, he severed his father-son ties and asked to be struck from the family register, taking with him only the hairpin his mother had left him. The whole city laughed at Liu Yu for digging his own grave. In this Great Zhou, where scholars were held above all others, a concubine-born son without his family could not even pass the scholar examination!

Liu Yu did not complain. He sold poetry and studied, with no need to seek a teacher. Eminent scholars were already competing to take him on.

From a noble family's concubine-born son, cast out of his home, to a peerless statesman renowned throughout the land;

from a useless son, cast aside by his clan, to a figure before whom even the emperor rose to greet him.

On his path through the imperial exams, he won first place at every level. His former family regretted everything and begged Liu Yu to return to the family register and bring glory to their ancestors.

Liu Yu had only one thing to say:

“Get lost!”
