    "Returning at Six: His Path to the Imperial Examinations Paved with Blood and Tears, Even His Enemies Greed Him" ​​From a pampered young master of the Imperial Examinations to a peasant boy bleeding from leeches, Chen Yan only needed one day. His first "meal" back at the Chen family home was muddy sorghum porridge; his first "job" was having his calf cut by a sickle and being scolded for being delicate; his first "words from relatives" were his aunt's venomous mockery: "You're not even fit to study! You're not even fit to carry my son's shoes!" He lay in the drafty mud-brick house, watching his mother being exploited by his uncle's family, watching his father bent over in the fields under the moonlight until he couldn't straighten up, watching his grandmother, the only one who secretly gave him an egg, being called a "dead old hag" by the eldest son's family. He chewed that life-saving boiled egg for a long time before daring to swallow it—it was the only warmth he tasted in this so-called "home." But they didn't know that this chubby boy, scolded for being "lazy and gluttonous," had once been a top scholar who could bring down the son of a powerful minister; they didn't know that when he gripped the bloodstained pen and tore through three sheets of paper in the toilet, his thoughts weren't on fame and fortune, but on "If I rise to the top, I will make these bloodsuckers taste the bitterness of having their bones crushed." Later, he truly did it. In the imperial palace, he wore a red robe, while his uncle, who had once trampled his inkstone, knelt below the steps, his temples as white as grass. He looked down at the hands that had once snatched the last piece of his flesh, now trembling so much that he couldn't even kowtow steadily. "Back then, you said I wasn't worthy of studying?" His voice was soft, yet chillingly cold. "Now, your son is leading my horse, is he qualified?" But as he turned, he touched the long-cooled eggshell in his sleeve—it was a gift from his grandmother, hidden away until it molded, never letting him know. He walked the path of the imperial examinations through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, but in the end, he could not fulfill the promise of the golden bracelet that the old man who secretly saved eggs for him had made.
