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.

Transmigrated as the Spoiled Granddaughter of a "Troublemaker" Granny—All My Sisters Are Future Big Shots

Transmigrated as the Spoiled Granddaughter of a "Troublemaker" Granny—All My Sisters Are Future Big Shots

Modern office worker Su Xiao died from staying up late binge-watching dramas, only to wake up as Zhou Xiaotang, the youngest granddaughter of "troublemaker" granny Zhou Guihua in a mountain village! Granny Zhou is a famous "protective hothead" in the village—she can argue with the village head for farmland with hands on her hips, or squat by the stove to bake burnt sweet potatoes for her granddaughters. But her three granddaughters are all in "miserable situations": the eldest, Zhou Yun, was dumped and called a "fiancé-killer", but she’s actually the future National Protector General; the second, Zhou Ning, is mocked as a "sickly weakling" but is a reincarnated medical immortal; the third, Zhou Xia, is bullied as a "silly girl" but will become a business tycoon. As soon as Su Xiao figured out her identity, she bound to the "Granny's Spoiled Granddaughter System"—she must help her sisters rise to the top, or she’ll be sent back to modern life to continue the 996 grind! She deals with Granny's "hardcore affection" (like stealing dates from neighbor Aunt Li to stuff into her pocket) while fumbling through tasks: when defending her eldest sister against the ex-fiancé, she accidentally attracted the cold-faced Prince Gu Zhao; when helping her second sister find herbs, she mistook poisonous plants for wild vegetables and almost sent Granny to the clinic; when assisting her third sister with a stall, she used modern marketing to sell tofu and attracted a chamber of commerce boss... When the quirky Xiaotang meets her protective granny, "hidden" sisters, and the "jealous prince" who follows her around, this transmigration and counterattack story is getting more and more lively!
