share time: 2025-12-19 06:02:54

Honest servant Lin Xiaoman, to repay young master Shen Mingyuan’s life-saving grace, bravely takes his place in the imperial exam when Shen falls critically ill right before the test. With his photographic memory, he fights his way to the final palace exam—only to encounter Li Henian, the chief examiner who framed his father and caused his exile and death. Now he must hide his father’s old jade pendant to keep his identity secret while drafting a policy essay that makes the emperor slam the table in admiration. But the hardest choice lies ahead: when “Shen Mingyuan” becomes the new top scholar, should he go back to being Lin Xiaoman—the boy who never even had the right to take the exam?
