The Number One Scholar from a Poor Family in the Ming Dynasty

Lin Yan is an ordinary migrant worker in modern times. He comes from a poor family and is burdened by the pressure of life all year round. He stays up late to read and prepare for exams, but is repeatedly interrupted by reality. Once he fainted after working overtime, he traveled back to the poor peasant boy in the northern countryside during the Hongzhi period of the Ming Dynasty. Born as the third son of the Lin family, his parents struggled to make ends meet by farming and doing part-time work. The family had two acres of thin farmland, and the harvest failed every year. The eldest brother and the second brother went to work in the fields early, and the family's only source of income was farming and helping people pound rice. Lin Yan traveled through time and retained the complete memory of modern people. He knew that studying for the imperial examination was the only way out of the bottom class, and he wanted to study in a private school.
