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

2025-10-06 Category: 0

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

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?

Using her family’s acupuncture skills, she pulled him back from the brink. She thought it was just a good deed, but Gu immediately invited her to be the "honored guest" at his top private hospital—not only helping her humiliate her regretful ex-fiancé but also spoiling her rotten: gifting a custom TCM clinic, helping her retrieve her family’s lost medical heritage... Just when Su Wan thought this was all "gratitude," Gu pulled out a document labeled "Fiancée" and said: "Actually, I’ve been waiting for you to save me for three years."
