share time: 2025-11-20 12:32:54

Ye Zhao, the legitimate son of the Ye family, was abandoned in a poor village due to a "father-oppressing" prophecy, living as a despised "wild child" for 17 years. But who could have guessed that this rough man who chops firewood by day secretly devours 30 volumes of Confucian classics at night in a broken temple—he's a hidden "small-town exam warrior"! Until Su Wanzhao, a talented lady from the capital, arrives to investigate a imperial exam fraud case and stumbles upon his secret. Meanwhile, the Ye family suddenly wants to "reclaim" him for a power struggle over military authority. Will he climb up via the family's scheme, or carve his way out of poverty with his own pen? When the "disowned son's" exam paper hits the capital's final殿试, those who once looked down on him will witness: the cruelest counterattack is the ambition hidden in dust, already written into brilliant prose.
