The Butcher's Son from a Poor Family: Daily Trials in the Imperial Exam

2025-11-13 Category: 0

The Butcher's Son from a Poor Family: Daily Trials in the Imperial Exam Plot:

Chen Aniu, the son of a poor family's butcher, clings to his absurd dream of "studying for the imperial exam"—clashing with his father's belief that "butchering is the only proper path." When his books are burned, he carves the Four Books into wood with a butchering knife; when his charcoal pencils are thrown away, he exchanges old paper by writing letters for neighbors. Even his pork stall becomes his "civic classroom": he understands tax principles from calculating meat prices, and records people's sufferings from customers' talks about disasters. On the day of the provincial exam, he wraps his paper in lard to keep it dry and writes not pretentious prose, but the warmth of his butcher family and the lives of ordinary people. When the red list with "Chen Aniu" stings his father's eyes, the father finally realizes: his son's dream was never to escape the butcher's life, but to let the butcher's story be heard by the imperial court.

Wealth Freedom Starts with a System

Lin Xiaoman, a 3-year office worker, still lives paycheck to paycheck and even faces debt collection for guaranteeing her best friend’s loan. Crying in a convenience store late at night, her phone suddenly pops up with a "Wealth Task System"—complete random acts of kindness to redeem wealth. Skeptical, she helps an aunt find her lost cat and gets an old porcelain bowl as a gift, which sells for 100,000 yuan. She helps an elderly neighbor repair his old phone and receives a "junk stock" he bought years ago, which skyrockets tenfold a week later. Just as she thinks she’s on track for a "laid-back life," the system gives her the ultimate task: save Gu Mingyuan’s struggling handcraft store—her high school crush. It turns out the system is never a wealth cheat code, but a way to rediscover "richness" through giving.
