This is the story of a graduate student majoring in Ancient Chinese who has been repeatedly frustrated in his career. He goes back to the middle of the Ming Dynasty and ends up in the body of a young child in a rural village. With a reserved father and a fierce mother, and all kinds of troublesome relatives, the farmhouse is far from peaceful. Fortunately, our protagonist has thousands of years of historical accumulation, with a solid foundation in the Four Books, Five Classics, and the art of essay writing. Moreover, his expertise is well-suited to this era, and he can even perceive fate. Who says it is difficult for a poor family to produce an outstanding child? As the country's strength rises, the government maintains stability; however, there is lax law enforcement and bureaucratic inefficiency. There are a few treacherous officials and occasional pirate attacks, but overall, this is a fertile land where scholars and gentlemen can thrive freely. A legendary rise from a humble background begins here. With this story, I pay tribute to all the classic time-travel novels.
