Cold Lamp Continues Confucianism

Lin Yan, a modern restorer of ancient books, was reborn in a fire as Lin Yan, a thirteen-year-old orphan from a poor family in the southern part of the Yong Dynasty. The beginning is a desperate situation: both parents are dead, the thin farmland is taken away, the family is surrounded by poverty, the clan is ostracized, and the neighbors bully. The original owner died young due to hunger, cold, and hopeless study, leaving behind a mess that was almost impossible to turn over. The Yong Dynasty worshiped literature but suppressed martial arts, and the imperial examination was the only way to heaven. However, it was firmly controlled by wealthy families and corrupt academic officials, leaving children from poor families with no hope of success. Lin Yan, who came from time-travel, has no system or adventure. The only golden finger is his modern knowledge of ancient books, logical thinking, deep understanding of the imperial examination system, and top-notch writing skills. Starting from a desperate situation, he must complete an impossible task: in an extreme environment of depleted resources and social oppression, relying only on his own knowledge, starting from the lowest class of children, step by step through the iron wall composed of aristocratic families, academic circles, and corrupt officials, and achieving a class jump, otherwise the same fate as the original owner will be waiting for him - silent death in poverty and humiliation.
