Li Meng transmigrates into an imperial-examination novel.
In the original story, the male lead, Zeng Jing, was born into poverty. Both his parents died, and from a young age he depended on his older brother, who was eight years his senior.
Their life was hard, and they often went hungry.
Fortunately, the male lead was exceptionally capable. He passed the county-level exams at fifteen, the provincial exams at eighteen, and placed first in the palace exams at nineteen.
After more than ten years in office, he became the youngest chief minister of the Daqing Dynasty.
Yet Chief Minister Zeng had a pain he could never face. Whenever he remembered it, grief tore at his heart and overwhelmed him.
The year he sat the county-level exams, his brother, who lived in Changxi Village, went hunting in the mountains and fell to his death, leaving behind a pregnant wife.
Three years later, when Zeng Jing went to the capital to sit the national exams, he returned to the news that his sister-in-law and nephew had both drowned.
Li Meng transmigrated as the child who drowned in the book, the male lead's nephew. His surname was Zeng, his given name Yu, and his nickname was Yuyu.
Little Yuyu clutched himself tightly. No, he absolutely couldn't go near the river before his uncle returned as the top scholar.
But when his uncle finally came home, something seemed off. Why had his uncle gone into his mother's room? And why was he confessing his love to her?
Zeng Yu's face was full of question marks. Uh... was his uncle about to become his dad?
Two male leads. The main focus is family affection. The uncle and the mother aren't a couple.
Theme: A family loving one another.
