An Engineering PhD Trades Endless Farmwork for the Imperial Exams

About the story

Modern engineering PhD Shen Zhiyan unexpectedly arrives in the Great Sheng as an ordinary farm boy in Qingshui Village. With his family poor and opportunities to study scarce, he refuses to blame fate or others. Drawing on his accumulated knowledge and cool head, he begins by improving a spinning wheel and helping his family live better, gradually earning a chance to attend school. Once enrolled, he starts to distinguish himself on the imperial examination path, moving beyond village life into a wider world and quietly bringing engineering wisdom far ahead of its time to the Great Sheng.
