Modern office worker Lin Xiaoman wakes up as the young master of Qingzhu Mountain bandits, whose daily routine is “robbing the rich to help the poor” (actually stealing chickens from landlords). One day, he goes downhill to buy stationery for left-behind children and, out of curiosity, writes a policy essay for the imperial exam—surprisingly, he becomes the top scholar! Empress Chu Zhaorong goes incognito to meet this “talented poor scholar,” only to catch him dividing the top scholar gifts with his bandit brothers. She initially wants to punish him for deceiving the emperor, but during their interaction, she finds he understands her imperial loneliness and uses “fresh words” like “equality” and “human rights”—turns out he’s a time traveler! The empress directly kidnaps him back to the palace: “Either be my top scholar consort, or I’ll destroy your bandit den!” Lin Xiaoman looks at the empress holding the imperial edict with a cold face, then thinks of the old chief and children waiting for him in the mountain—he’s completely dumbfounded: How did taking the exam lead to a forced marriage?
