Reincarnated as a Down-and-Out Marquis, I Passed the Imperial Exam and Shook the Court

Transmigrated into the role of a marquis's father, with elders above him and children below, Ji Ming, a top history student in his previous life, was just about to lie flat with a smile.

Then the new emperor issued an order: strip the family of its title, seize its property, and cut off its stipend!

The pampered old lord clung to a tree and wept. "We're out of money, and we've lost our home."

Ji Ming gave the tree a kick. "We'll get it back."

He led the whole family to rent a place in the countryside, buy a plot of land, and build greenhouses to grow out-of-season fruit and vegetables.

They made money, bought a house, and got some farmland, but the old lord and lady cried together. "We have no power or influence. We've brought shame on our ancestors."

Ji Ming wiped his face. Power, you say? If I pass the imperial exam and become the top scholar, won't I have some?
