The Poor Scholar's Book Boy: I Passed the Imperial Exam as Top Scholar, and You Want to Sell My Sister?

He woke up to find that he, a top student at a prestigious university's Chinese department, had become Chen Pingchuan, an eight-year-old cowherd in a poor mountain village in the Great Ye Dynasty.

It was hell from the start: the family had nothing, his grandparents played favorites, and his relatives mocked him!

Worse still, to support his uncle's preparation for the imperial examinations, his family planned to sell his five-year-old younger sister for money!

Sell his sister to advance themselves? Chen Pingchuan would never allow it!

Who says the children of poor families can never rise to greatness? They just haven't seen a true generational leap in knowledge!

The imperial examinations? Nine years of compulsory schooling and university knowledge would make them a breeze!

Those greedy relatives want to take advantage of him? You looked down on me back then, and now you can't even aspire to my level!

Corrupt ministers in power and court intrigues? A thousand years of political wisdom, with every move in the palm of his hand!

Barbarians at the borders and enemies all around? Anyone who stands in the way of a rich and powerful nation will be destroyed, no matter how far away!

From cowherd to top scholar, from commoner to the most powerful man at court!

With the wisdom of all modern civilization, Chen Pingchuan will show this era that knowledge is what changes one's fate!
