Cui Xian, a PhD in Chinese Literature, inexplicably transmigrated into an impoverished Ming Dynasty household - a destitute clan with a pregnant mother, underage siblings, scholarly failures for uncles, and a delusional grandmother obsessed with producing a top-graduate descendant. At eight years old, he became a wealthy heir's study companion, strategically leaking fragments of future knowledge through "innocent" poetry recitations. When his precocious analysis of imperial examination patterns proved eerily accurate, local gentry swarmed the mud-brick hut, convinced the child prodigy held the Mandate of Heaven. Cui's calculated rise from cabbage patch philosopher to Emperor's secret advisor began with charcoal calligraphy on rice paper scraps.
