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

I Married My Arch-Nemesis
Lin Xiaoman, the "overachieving workaholic" at an ad agency, and Gu Jingshen, the "snarky king" of a rival firm, are infamous arch-nemeses—she calls his proposals "so greasy you could scrape off three pounds of oil," he mocks her ideas "like a kid's handwritten newspaper," and they clash violently every time they meet. But their parents drop a bombshell: a 20-year-old childhood engagement agreement, forcing them to marry! On their wedding night, they snap at each other across the sofa: "Whoever falls in love first is a dog!" Living together, their bickering takes a sweet twist: Gu steals Lin's chips and leaves a note: "Buy tomato flavor next time"; Lin draws a funny face on Gu's white shirt with lipstick, but he hangs it prominently in his closet. Worse, Lin binds to a "Fall for Your Arch-Nemesis" system, tasked with praising Gu—after struggling, she blurts: "Your tie isn't as ugly today," and Gu's ears redden. As they grow closer, they uncover each other's soft sides: Gu secretly fixes her proposal loopholes; Lin makes him ginger tea when he works late. One day, Lin finds an old photo album—there’s a young her bandaging a little boy, who vows: "I’ll marry you when we grow up!" Turns out their "rival" is the boy she saved years ago—all the bickering was just a disguise for a 20-year crush.
