Modern office worker Lin Zhao dies suddenly and transmigrates into Lin Xiaolang, a concubine's son from a poor family in the Great Yue Dynasty. His father, a scholar who failed the imperial exam for 20 years, dumps all his hopes of restoring the family's glory on him; his mother, a bullied concubine, can only secretly give him half a cake and beg him to “stay alive.” But the imperial exam is even tougher than the workplace—nobles steal his exam questions, the county magistrate forces him to take the blame for his son's crime, and fellow examinees trample on him to climb up. Using modern survival skills, Lin Zhao fights his way from a child student to the top scholar (Zhuangyuan). However, he accidentally gets entangled in a power struggle to overthrow the emperor: Was his father's failure framed? Does the crown prince want to use his “humble background” for schemes? The higher he climbs, the more he discovers that behind the “family honor” lie two generations of grudges and bloody court intrigue.
