The Imperial Examinations in the Countryside

Shen Jie transmigrates and becomes the eldest son of a farming family in the countryside.

His parents are fierce and fiercely protective, and his younger brother was born with incredible strength. He spends his days chasing cats and teasing dogs, getting into mischief, but he listens to Shen Jie in everything.

Shen Jie grows up carefree until the age of seven, when he learns by chance that the Shen family is a throwaway family barely mentioned in an imperial-examination novel.

The county magistrate's son tyrannizes the locals. When Shen Jie's brother stands up to him, he earns the young man's hatred, and a single fire leaves all four members of the Shen family dead in the flames.

Watching his younger brother beat a chubby boy nearly ten years old until he wails, Shen Jie thinks it over all night. The next day, he tucks a pouch of copper coins into his sleeve and heads to the county academy.

Of all pursuits, studying is the noblest.

For his family, he has to earn an official title, no matter what!

Years later, Shen Jie achieves the rare feat of placing first in all six imperial examinations, rises swiftly through the ranks, and becomes the youngest Grand Secretary of the Great Ning Dynasty.

His younger brother places first in the military examinations and becomes a celebrated general who expands the realm's borders.

The Shen family rises from a humble country household to a distinguished family in the capital, with two outstanding men in one family, unmatched by anyone!
