How a Poor Farmer Made It Through the Imperial Exams in Ancient Times

Zhao Xuan perished alongside the zombies in the apocalypse, then transmigrated to an ancient poor peasant family.

Born with heart palpitations, he had a family with nothing to its name and a countdown on his life.

Things were a mess from the start.

Zhao Xuan set about fixing them piece by piece.

After a struggle, the Zhao family finally had grain to spare.

His whole family lived on bran and wild greens so they could send him to study for the imperial examinations.

Bearing the hopes of his entire family, Zhao Xuan could only steel himself and give it a try.

He rose through the ranks, earning top honors in all six examinations and becoming the top scholar. From a peasant boy to a first-rank official, his name would go down in history.
