The Imperial Examination Journey of a Poor Butcher's Son Plot:

Chen Erniu, the son of a poor butcher, was ridiculed by villagers for a decade for "a butcher's descendant not being worthy of reading", yet he secretly studied old books. On the county exam day, a powerful official's son bribed the examiner to replace his paper. In despair, his "Essay on People's Livelihood from a Pork Shop"—written on the back of old paper and vividly describing the joys and sorrows of street vendors—was accidentally noticed by an incognito imperial censor, who exclaimed: "This is the true hearted talent the exam needs!" Since then, labeled a "butcher scholar", he cracked the "poetry traps" and "policy frame-ups" set by the powerful, and fell in love with Su Wantang, the minister's daughter who admired his purity. Between the struggles of a poor man's counterattack and the forbidden love across classes, this "butcher boy" is determined to carve an ordinary person's path to glory in the exam arena.

The Spoiled Life of a Rascal Princess

Princess Yun Luo of Da Zhao is the capital's famous "little devil"—she rides horses through the Shangshu's orchid garden, steals the general's falcon as a pet, and even uses the Empress Dowager's prayer beads to make sugar-coated haws. All officials beg Emperor Murong Heng to punish her for her recklessness, but he spoils her rotten: he reserves freshly baked osmanthus cakes just for her, transfers any minister who scolds her to guard the imperial mausoleum, and even covers for her when she steals a night pearl from the treasury to play marbles, saying, "The pearl was bored; it needed some air." It isn't until Yun Luo gets drunk and slips up that everyone learns the truth: three years ago, when the Emperor was assassinated, the little eunuch who took a knife for him was Yun Luo in disguise. Those "unprincipled spoils" are the Emperor's hidden feelings for three years: "You weren't afraid when you took that knife for me. Now it's my turn to protect you and indulge your mischief—until you're willing to say you like me too."

Hiding from the rain one night, she accidentally broke into a meditation room and saw a monk-robed man fighting assassins— the jade pendant on his sword sheath was exactly the same as the one she gave "Brother Xiao Heng" at ten! Later, "Monk Xuanqing" not only cured her broken leg but also knew about her osmanthus candy hidden under the pillow.

Lady Li Kui and Her Gentle Beau

Lady Li Kui and Her Gentle Beau

Modern corporate slave Lin Xiaoman stayed up late binge-watching a time-travel drama, only to wake up as Li Cui'e—the infamous "Shrew of the Village" in the 1970s. She could lift a 150kg sack with one hand and argue with the village head without flinching, making everyone avoid her like the plague. But when she met Su Muyuan, a newly arrived educated youth next door, her eyes lit up: this boy had lips as red as cherries, dimples when he smiled, and even carried manure with an elegant air—just like the "white moonlight" from her modern celebrity crush list! Su Muyuan, however, had long heard of her "ferocious reputation" and fled at the sight of her, even shaking when she handed him a bowl of water. Lin Xiaoman wasn't one to back down! Using her "shrew" identity, she blocked him at the educated youth center, shoving a bowl of ginger tea boiled for two hours into his hands: "Brother Su, let me chop wood for you!" "Brother Su, let me write the report for you!" "Brother Su, look at the scarf I knitted..." Gradually, Su Muyuan discovered that this "shrew" had a soft heart—she mended his torn clothes with little daisies, climbed two mountains to find herbs when he had a fever, and even fought a village bully for his quota by drinking so much she passed out first. But just as Su Muyuan let his guard down, Lin Xiaoman stumbled upon a secret: the old photo in his bag was exactly the one from her modern bedroom! Is this a coincidence, or is there a bigger plan?
