The Trouble with Prodigies

Don't Mess with Her—She Has Eight Brothers

Lin Xiaoman transfers to an ordinary high school under a fake name to escape her eight brothers' “24/7 overprotection” and live a “normal life”. But she gets targeted by Su Qing, a rich girl, for refusing to let her cut the line—her textbooks are splashed with milk tea, her club spot is stolen, and even Gu Chuan, the school heartthrob she accidentally bumped into, calls her “troublesome”. Just as she’s crying on the rooftop, her eldest brother, a SWAT officer, blocks the stairs with a baton: “Bully my sister? Come to the station for a statement.” Her second brother, a lawyer, adjusts his glasses and hands over documents: “Your family’s tax loopholes—want me to call the audit bureau for your dad?” Even her third brother, a top celebrity, shows up with a support sign: “My sister’s upset—I’ll add a concert to cheer her up!” Turns out the brothers knew her plan all along and had been quietly protecting her. When Gu Chuan finds out her “hidden identity”, he’s drawn to her desire for independence, and Lin Xiaoman finally understands: her brothers’ “overprotection” is love written in their bones.

The Butcher's Son's Journey to the Imperial Exam

Chen Aniu, the son of a butcher, is ridiculed by the whole village for “a butcher’s kid not being worthy of reading”. However, he secretly saves money to buy brushes and ink, studying the Four Books and Five Classics with the same grit he uses to scrape hair off pigs. His father scolds him for “wasting time” but secretly sells a pig’s hind leg to get books for him. On his first trip to the city for the scholar exam, he accidentally saves Su Wantang, the daughter of the Minister of Rites, who is being chased while disguised as a man to escape an arranged marriage. Su takes a liking to his “reckless courage” and insists on being his “bookboy”. Even more surprisingly, Aniu’s essay *On Butchering Pigs* is seen by the chief examiner as a “metaphor for governing officials”, and he tops the exam! But waiting for him are not just fame in the capital, but also Su’s true identity, the crown prince’s overtures, and powerful officials who want to bring him down… If a butchering knife can kill pigs, can it withstand the knives in the imperial court?
