This is the story of a graduate student majoring in Classical Chinese who has been repeatedly thwarted in his job search, and who travels back to the mid-Ming Dynasty and enters the body of a young child in a mountain village. A dull father and a shrewish mother, a whole host of peculiar relatives—the farmhouse courtyard is always rife with trouble. Fortunately, we have thousands of years of historical heritage, the Four Books and Five Classics, and the eight-legged essay; our major is also relevant, so who says it's impossible for a poor family to produce a successful child? As national power rises, the government can govern without any intervention. Lax laws and regulations, and lax official discipline; There were a few treacherous officials, and also some Japanese pirates; But overall, it can be said that this was fertile ground for the free growth of the literati. And so began the legendary rise of a poor family. This article is dedicated to all classic time-travel stories.

Let him be as arrogant as he wants, I'll just keep farming. If he tries to mess with me, he won't last past next year. A homebody named Zhao Hai, along with his QQ Farm character, transmigrated to another world and possessed the body of a down-on-his-luck minor nobleman. His fiefdom was a barren, black soil where nothing could grow. Most importantly, he had an incredibly powerful fiancée—the heir to a duchy, the future Grand Duchess! And to top it all off, he was utterly useless in both magic and martial arts, unable to learn either. I can't learn magic, but I have a farm. Do you dare attack me? I'll release insects to eat up your military rations and your crops, poison your water sources with pesticides and herbicides, and plant weeds all over your land. Let's see if you still dare to attack me then. What? You're going to hire an assassin to kill me? Hehehe, I'll hide in my little cabin on my farm and see how you try to beat me. Once you're gone, I'll make sure your country's crops fail, and then everyone will rise up against you. Let's see if you still dare to come and kill me then. Watch as a slightly cunning otaku uses his QQ Farm to become a nightmare for everyone in the world, a world of swords and magic.

Curator note

This is a world where scholars wield the power of heaven and earth. With talent, one can kill enemies with poetry, annihilate armies with lyrics, and bring peace to the world with prose. A scholar can strategize on paper; a successful candidate in the provincial examination can compose poems and write essays; and a candidate in the imperial examination can engage in heated debates. When a sage arrives, he can condemn people with words and writings, punish individuals, and judge the emperor as tyrannical, making one a match for an entire nation. At this time, the Holy Academy held the civil service positions, the monarch controlled the official positions, ten kingdoms were vying for power, barbarian tribes were eyeing the country covetously, and demons were causing chaos. At this time, there was no flourishing of Tang poetry, no golden age of Song lyrics, no innovative writing, and no new sages for a hundred years. An unknown, poor boy, after having his head smashed, embarked on the path to sainthood, carrying with him timeless poems and astonishing writings.

One day, Song Shuhang accidentally joined a chat group for hardcore fans of fantasy novels and chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur). The group members all addressed each other as "fellow Daoists," and their nicknames were filled with various titles like "Lord of a Palace," "Master of a Cave," "True Person," and "Celestial Master." Even the group owner's lost pet dog was referred to as a "Great Demon Dog Who Ran Away from Home." They spent all their time discussing alchemy, exploring secret realms, and cultivation techniques. One day, after lurking for a long time, he suddenly discovered that... Every single member of the group was actually a cultivator, the kind who could move mountains and overturn seas and live for thousands of years! Ugh, my worldview has completely shattered overnight!
