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?

Reborn in 1998: Chasing Dreams with Justice & Fortune

Lin Xiaoman wakes up to find herself back in the 1998 alley—in her previous life, she trusted her “best friend’s” investment, lost all savings, and even made her childhood sweetheart Gu Jingshen take the blame for fraud, who died in prison. This time, she dives into the bustling streets with her “future guide”: selling Beyond tapes outside the video hall, stocking up on *My Fair Princess* posters (which will soon be a hit), and even winning 3,000 yuan by betting on a World Cup underdog! But just as she’s ready to “make money and build a career,” Gu Jingshen sticks to her like glue: choking on alcohol while shielding her from hooligans, tearing his jeans while carrying goods for her, and handing her sugar-fried chestnuts with a red face: “I waited half an hour—it’s still warm.” Why is he so different from the man who coldly said “don’t come to me again” in her past life? It’s not until she overhears his argument with his cousin Gu Mingchuan that she learns: the “betrayal” in her past life was an act—Gu Jingshen distanced himself to protect her from his cousin’s harm! When Lin Xiaoman throws herself into his arms crying, Gu Jingshen’s voice trembles: “I failed to protect you last time. This time, I’ll make money, marry you, and fix all regrets.” But on the opening day of their grocery store, the truck that hit her in her past life reappears—Lin Xiaoman grabs his hand and smiles: “What are we afraid of? We have a script!”
