Qu Wenjie accidentally found himself inside the book The False Young Master's Road to Success in the Imperial Examinations, as the real young master, Lian Wenjie, who had been raised away from home, couldn't read a single character, and was crude and uncultured.
In the original story, the male lead, the false young master Lian Wenyu, was taught by renowned scholars from a young age. He was erudite, exceptionally clever, and tireless in his studies. His imperial examination results climbed steadily, and his official career went smoothly. He became the youngest cabinet minister ever, enjoying unparalleled glory.
The real young master, Lian Wenjie, had a very different life. Abused by his adoptive parents from childhood, he had no proper clothes or enough to eat. He barely survived by stealing, cheating, and sucking up to people. He couldn't read, and had never even touched a book.
Fortunately, he was brought back to the Lian residence at twelve. But by then his bad habits were ingrained, and he lived in the false young master's shadow. He spent his life in a daze, ending up divorced and estranged from his children, dying with regrets.
He sorted through his thoughts. It seemed the original Lian Wenjie had only recently been brought back to the Lian residence. Should he reveal his talent for studying at the right moment?
The teacher, who had expected him to be incorrigible, praised him: "Wenjie has a Heaven-given gift."
His mother, who had expected him to be uncultured, exclaimed: "Young Master Jie is so well-read and courteous."
His siblings, who had expected him to be ignorant, admired him: "Brother Jie is so learned and well-informed."
On the road to the imperial examinations, the two young masters, real and false, rose above the competition and both made the list of successful candidates.
At court, the two young masters, real and false, supported each other, rose to great heights, and both attained the highest rank.
