The Old Tong Sheng's Road to Top Scholar

share time: 2025-12-25 00:31:19

30-year-old "Old Tong Sheng" Zhou Fusheng has failed the county exam eight times, earning the nickname "Zhou Eight Fails" from neighbors. Even his childhood fiancee Lin Zhaozhao is coming to break off their engagement. Just as he's burning his books to sell pancakes, he suddenly binds to the "Top Scholar Training System"—unlocking exam cheat sheets and minor immortal spells! But the system's tasks are absurd: it makes him recite the *Hundred Family Surnames* at the county magistrate's birthday party, but he messes it up into "I'm Fusheng, I'll be Top Scholar," making everyone laugh. To help a classmate fend off bullies, he uses the "Light Body Spell" to jump onto a roof beam but crushes the county school's tiles, getting punished to clean latrines. Strangest of all, the system's guide spirit is a pink-dressed girl who calls him "past-life husband"! Zhou Fusheng navigates these tasks while逆袭ing: he uses "photographic memory" to write essays in the county exam, mistaken for a genius; he helps Zhaozhao save her embroidery business with the "Butterfly Attraction Spell," impressing a wealthy buyer. But just as he's close to the top, the system warns: "To truly be Top Scholar, give up all spells..." Will he choose the golden finger or his real ability? And what secret does the girl hold about their past lives?
