Jia Cong was originally supposed to head to the countryside to help with poverty alleviation, but a landslide swept him into ancient times, where he became the overlooked Jia Cong of the Rongguo Mansion.
To survive, Jia Cong decided to keep pursuing a secure government job. And so the overlooked young man embarked on the imperial examination path.
However, the classical essays full of archaic phrases gave him a headache, and the clan school was a mess. How could Jia Cong turn his fortunes around?
He passed the imperial exams and took up an out-of-town post. Watch the young concubine-born son steadily rise to success, only to give up his official post at the peak of his career and establish an academy.
Along the way, the overlooked boy became a mentor to countless students. His pupils were practical, technically skilled people who focused on getting things done. He never forgot his original aspirations, and fulfilled the great ambition he had held all those years ago.
Fortunately, he also had someone at his side who protected him every step of the way. They had agreed to be confidants, but ended up sharing a bed. Still, he had found a new sense of belonging in this era.
The academy's students all knew that their headmaster was wonderful in every way, except that he couldn't get up in the morning. If they wanted to attend his lessons, they should come in the afternoon.
Jia Cong could only huff in frustration. It was all that person's fault! He was usually very diligent.
His loyal companion hurried to apologize: All right, all right, it's my fault, my fault. Should I kneel on the washboard tonight?
