   A poor orphan's desperate attempt at the imperial examination! In his past life, he was an unwanted orphan; in this life, he is again a poor son orphaned and orphaned. His life begins in disaster, his clan is watching with predatory eyes, and the lives of mother and son hang by a thread. The transmigrator, Qin Siqi, possesses the resilience and knowledge gained from both lives, becoming his mother's only hope. Knowledge is his only advantage. From a student eavesdropping outside the private school walls to the only literary star in Enshi County; from being pitied by the entire clan to being revered by them. What kind of thunderbolt will his pen cleave in this dynasty called Dafeng? "Who says it's impossible for a poor family to produce a noble son?" Four highlights of the novel: 1. Extreme contrast: The epic of a double orphan's rise to power. The protagonist possesses a double orphan identity, and the resilience of his past life becomes his greatest trump card in this life. From a "disastrous start" to becoming the "hope of the entire clan," his path to success is filled with extreme dramatic tension and emotional resonance. 2. A realistic and detailed depiction of survival in a time-traveling village: The story avoids exaggerated settings and solidly portrays the real predicament of a time traveler in an ancient rural village. From the economic pressure of "two taels of silver for tuition" to the cold-heartedness of clansmen coveting the land, the immersion is extremely strong. 3. The ultimate thrill of "knowledge changing destiny": The cheat code isn't a system or superpowers, but the time traveler's advanced cognitive and learning abilities. This "academic genius" type of thrill is solid and sophisticated, foreshadowing a satisfying and satisfying comeback. 4. A grand blueprint for growth: From the private school in Baihu Village to Enshi County, and then to the turbulent imperial court, the story paints a magnificent picture of a poor scholar climbing the social ladder step by step, leaving much to the imagination in the subsequent plot. In short, this is not just a story about the imperial examinations, but a moving tale of resilience, survival, and hope burning brightly in dire straits. If you are a fan of works like "The Rise of a Poor Scholar" and "The Ancient Imperial Examination Life of a Farmer's Son," then "The Whole Clan!" Is for you. "For My Scientific Research" is definitely a must-read next masterpiece! I hope my recommendation is helpful!

At the age of seven, Lin Qiye lay on the eaves looking at the moon, but made eye contact with a six-winged seraphim on the moon, losing sight in one eye and being sent to a mental hospital. 🤯 Little did he know that this was a foreshadowing of fate—for five years, he dreamed of the "Gods' Mental Hospital" every night, unlocking a ten-meter absolute field of vision by knocking on the door, and being able to see through everything with his eyes closed! Beneath the neon-lit city, ancient mythical monsters lurk; a hundred years ago, a fog swallowed 98% of the Earth, leaving Great Xia as the only pure land. 🌍 And he, this "mental patient," is actually the key to clearing away the mystery and protecting humanity! Without a system or cheat code, relying entirely on the extraordinary power unlocked in the mental hospital, from a transfer student to a god-slaying master, he tears apart the bizarre and confronts the gods head-on. ⚔️ Dreams hold secrets, and the eyes under the black satin conceal divine power, each time he opens them, his understanding is overturned!
