Cast Out of the Marquis’s Residence: The Fake Heir Overthrows Powerful Ministers Through the Imperial Examinations

Chen Yan worked himself to the bone as a corporate drone. After finally paying off his mortgage and car loan and saving four hundred thousand yuan, he had planned to live a lazy life in a small county town. Who would have thought disaster would strike.

He transmigrated!

The good news: in this life he is still male, so he doesn’t have to suffer period pain. He was born into a wealthy marquis’s mansion, with fine clothes, delicious food, and limitless family pampering.

The bad news: on the day he transmigrated, his fake young master identity was exposed, and he was about to be kicked out and sent back to his birth parents’ home.

The worse news: his birth parents live in a remote village, a proper farming family. It is said the house is so poor that even rats would cry and leave.

It is also said the family still supports an uncle who has failed the imperial exams seven times, and the whole household tightens its belt to live, so skinny they are all skin and bones.

Not only that, but his biological father gambles, his biological mother is lazy and gluttonous, and his grandparents are biased all the way to the Pacific Ocean.

On top of that, the true young master who has enjoyed more than ten years of wealth and luxury in the original host’s place is eyeing him covetously.

After suddenly falling from grace and facing such a heaven-defying opening, Chen Yan: very calmly folds his hands over his abdomen. How peaceful! How much he wants to die!

...

But dying is impossible. Chen Yan angrily raised his middle finger at the heavens and cursed, “Heaven, you damned parent!”

...

He can’t lie flat, and he doesn’t dare die.

In that case, since he is already here, so be it!

Chen Yan straightens up and decides to change his fate through the imperial exams!

As long as studying does not kill him, he will study himself to death!

...

Later, as they spend time together, he discovers that the original host’s family members do not seem so beyond saving after all.

...

This is the story of a down-and-out youth rising from having nothing to becoming a minister at the very top of power.

In his era, he will become a legend!
