Rich second-generation heir Fang Yan and his Chinese department professor father score a "time-travel double package." Thinking he could rely on his father's vast knowledge to effortlessly coast as a second-gen official, Fang Yan discovers his dad can't even pass the basic scholar exam! To fulfill his dream of living off his parents, seventeen-year-old Fang Yan is forced to shoulder the family's entire KPI: driving his dad to study late into the night through endless eight-legged essay practice, outsmarting local bullies, scamming wealthy marks, making a fortune selling mountain delicacies, and even dodging his grandfather's attempts to drag him out to farm the fields.
