Imperial Exams for the Poor: A Farmer’s Eldest Son Turns the Tables

[Transmigration · Imperial Examination · Farming · Officialdom]

Chen Haiyue, a modern literature PhD, transmigrates into the eldest son of a farming family—the family’s pitiful wage slave—who worked himself to death supporting his younger third brother’s imperial examination journey.

A cruel father, a biased mother, a selfish younger brother, and him, the unlucky one.

Chen Haiyue lets out a long sigh. In his previous life, he had finally struggled his way out of the mountains, only to be sent back there after transmigrating.

What else can he do? He can only take the imperial examinations, tread the mountain roads, rise straight to the clouds, and drive away the ghosts and monsters around him.
