Poor Country Boy, Master of Medicine and the Imperial Exams

Xie Ning, a modern medical PhD, dies suddenly one day and opens his eyes in ancient times as a vile scoundrel in a rural village, a man who beats his parents and sells his wife. Having worked himself to death in his previous life, he had planned to lie flat with the beautiful wife Heaven had bestowed upon him. But the hopes his wife and the villagers placed in him forced him to work hard. He improved crop yields, dispensed effective remedies, and even soared ahead in the imperial examinations. How hard could it be to become the top scholar in the imperial exams, a contest where thousands fight for a single place? Xie Ning, a modern medical PhD, was not afraid. He would take all six top honors in the Great Yan Dynasty in one go! After the emperor and crown prince treated him like a prized treasure, Xie Ning discovered that in the lofty halls of government, rotten wood held office, while beasts drew salaries within the palace walls. Men with the hearts of wolves and the faces of dogs ran rampant at court. At last, Xie Ning came to his senses: a physician saves individual lives, while court officials save the realm. But this rotten world, from top to bottom, could only be saved by turning it upside down completely!
