His parents died of an epidemic. His seven-year-old brother, Pei Jinghan, shouldered everything with his gaunt, bony frame. He apprenticed himself to a hunter and braved the mountains, trading his labor for a bowl of rice to support Pei Ji's studies. Clutching the bloodstained fur of his brother's prey, Pei Ji secretly vowed: Once I make something of myself through my studies, I will give my brother a good life. No golden finger, no benefactor descending from the heavens: only a kerosene lamp and a broken writing brush. He studied day and night, passing the provincial examination at fifteen and astounding the countryside, then placing first in the palace examination and passing the metropolitan examination at eighteen. To help support the household, he used the experience from his previous life to write popular fiction, earning his first pot of gold. To fulfill his brother's wish, he brought his brother together with Liu Shi'an, a young man who had been left to fend for himself. The little family lived happily ever after. To win one person's heart, he met Shangguan Yu, who had never received his parents' affection, and the two grew close through their shared love of fiction before pledging themselves to one another for life. When he moved to the capital with his family, he started as a low-ranking sixth-grade official. The court was full of intrigue, factional infighting, and hidden attacks that were hard to guard against. Colleagues ostracize him? He answers with a record of achievements and face-slapping. Corrupt officials frame him? He outmaneuvers them. Powerful nobles apply pressure? He takes responsibility and protects the people's livelihoods! Others rise through their connections. He advances through hard work. From a poor, orphaned boy to a chancellor wielding power throughout the court, Pei Ji proves with his life: There are no shortcuts for the poor. A comeback takes sheer grit! And those who protected him as he grew up will eventually be sheltered beneath his wings, living safe and peaceful lives for all their days. 2, Shangguan Yu is the least favored son in the Shangguan family. The day he was born, his family was demoted to commoner status. His parents decided he was a bringer of bad luck, and his clan treated him as a disgrace to the whole family. The vast merchant household had carved beams, painted rafters, fine clothes, and delicious food in abundance, but nowhere that made him feel safe or welcome. Though raised amid wealth and privilege, Shangguan Yu learned early how fickle human nature could be. The ordinary affection between siblings and love from parents that others took for granted were distant, unattainable luxuries to him. Only by hiding in a quiet study and losing himself in one storybook after another could he temporarily forget the chill around him and find a moment's respite and comfort. Then, one year, The Poor Scholar's Tale, written by the anonymous author Mr. Nameless, quietly found its way into his hands. The resilience and warmth between the lines, the characters' struggles and steadfastness in adversity, moved the long-lonely Shangguan Yu to tears. So there were others in this world as lonely and helpless as he was, yet able to defy fate and change their lives through sheer courage. He searched every bookshop in the city like a man possessed, just for the chance to meet the author who signed their work Nameless. Theme: What cannot defeat you will ultimately make you stronger.
