Lin Zhao, a poor scholar, failed the imperial exam repeatedly. His fiancée’s family humiliated him by breaking the engagement publicly, and even neighbors mocked him. Only Ye Wanning, a girl from the pharmacy, secretly gave him warm ginger tea to keep him going. Three years later, Lin achieved the legendary “top six exams” feat and became the状元 (zhuangyuan, top scholar). When he returned home in glory, his ex-fiancée begged to reconcile, and gentry swarmed to curry favor—but he only cared about the girl who’d waited for him. However, the noble who framed him years ago is watching, and he must protect his beloved and the justice he’s long deserved.
