I Only Hope the Sun Will Rise in the East, Forgetting Its Setting in the West

I’m the top scholar, the top scholar!

And this is how you treat me?

Fine, don’t make me a regional governor.

Fine, don’t make me a Hanlin academician.

But you’re seriously making me guard a prison?

Fine!

You want to play dirty with me?

You want to pull a low-down stunt?

Fine!

If I can’t get a seat at the table,

then…

none of you get to eat.
