Shen Yan, a young man from a poor family, failed three attempts and was humiliated by his family. He accidentally obtained a mysterious sheepskin book that was his grandmother's relic. The book not only records the real questions of later imperial examinations, but also contains warnings and prices for changing one's destiny.
This is not a simple counterattack story, but a tragic journey of a young man trading twenty years of life for a clear conscience in the torrent of history. When the parchment turns to ashes at the end, the real legend has just begun - there is no foreknowledge, no shortcuts, only a reader and the path he chooses to go on.
This book is beautifully written and exciting.
