"Shi Shuo" (On Teachers), one of the representative works of Han Yu, the foremost of the Eight Great Prose Masters of the Tang and Song dynasties, naturally carries immense cultural value.
While many students are still struggling with their college applications, reading this full-score essay "Shi Shuo" made their heads explode.
People exclaimed in awe, "Why are you so outstanding? Aren't we all just ordinary folks?"
The top ten trending topics on a popular social media platform were almost entirely related to exam results.
[Top 1: "#Shi Shuo# This year's full-score essay, written in classical Chinese by a genius, left professors exclaiming in disbelief.]
[Top 2: "#Top Scorer# This year, a full-score top scorer emerged, but their identity remains unknown. Follow-up reports are ongoing...]
Most of the top trending topics were related to Jiang Che.
[Who on earth is this person? Who scored a perfect mark?]
["Shi Shuo" is absolutely mind-blowing. Is this really written by an ordinary student? I seriously suspect this is a time traveler, actually an ancient top scholar who traveled to the present!]
[Can anyone relate? Our Chinese teacher made us memorize this essay.]
[Haha, same here. My Chinese teacher did the same. You showed off, and now we're suffering.]
[There's always someone better. I thought my 139 in Chinese was impressive, but there's a true master out there.]
[Thanks for the reminder, my mom's already started nagging me.]
"Shi Shuo" has even caught the attention of the education bureau. This is no longer just a simple Chinese essay.
It’s highly possible that it might be included in high school Chinese textbooks in the future.
...
Jiang Che yawned and walked out the door in his pajamas.
At the same time, the reporters and admissions officers gathered at the Jiang family gate stood up.
"Are you Jiang Che?"
"We are from Yan University's admissions office. After reading your essay 'Shi Shuo,' our Chinese department sincerely invites you..."
"We at A University not only invite you but also offer you a 1 million yuan scholarship..."
Jiang Che smirked and casually glanced behind him.
He didn’t say a word, but the five-story mansion behind him spoke volumes.
"Haha, Old Li, your judgment is off. Young Master Jiang is worth billions. Talking about money is almost insulting," someone quipped.
The admissions officers began chattering among themselves.
But soon, their attention was diverted.
Inside the courtyard, a group of beautiful maids in maid uniforms stood in a row, their stunning appearances dazzling everyone.
What... what is going on here?
Of course, the real shocker was yet to come.
Ye Mengyao and Qin Qiaoqiao also stepped out.
"Dear admissions officers, we have no intention of leaving the city. We only want to enroll in Z University here," Ye Mengyao said confidently, unphased by the scene.
The lead admissions officer frowned. "Who are you? We're here on official business, don’t cause trouble."
Ye Mengyao was amused.
"My name is Ye Mengyao, and I’m also a candidate this year."
She loved the spotlight, especially with reporters around. She had to make an appearance.
The Yan University admissions officer was startled. The name sounded familiar.
They had come to Hangcheng not only for Jiang Che but also for a few other top-scoring candidates, one of whom was named Ye Mengyao.
Checking their records, sure enough, Ye Mengyao's name was there.
[Ye Mengyao: 721 points, ranked 5th in the province.]
Instantly, the admissions officer's expression changed.
"Ah, it's Miss Ye! So nice to meet you."
The previous disdain turned into a flattering smile.
"You’re celebrating too early," Ye Mengyao sneered.
She then moved closer to Jiang Che, wrapping her arm around his and leaning against him like a delicate bird.
"Uh..."
This was awkward, extremely awkward. "Miss Ye, we came to Hangcheng for you too. We’d like to invite you to our university..."
"You’re dreaming," Qin Qiaoqiao chimed in, delivering a sharp retort to the admissions officers.
The admissions officers were at a loss. What was going on?
Unlike the admissions officers, the reporters were thrilled.
What had they stumbled upon?
This top scorer was actually dating two girls at the same time? And living in a super mansion?
Even the maids were stunningly beautiful.
This was big news!
A top scholar, a wealthy heir, and a playboy—all rolled into one. It was sensational!
"Jiang Che, what is your relationship with these two girls?"
"Jiang, I heard your father has transferred shares worth trillions in Yuanche Pharmaceutical to you. What are your expectations for the company's future?"
"Jiang Che..."
The reporters' questions were sharp. As journalists, they knew that dry academic news didn’t sell, but juicy gossip did.
...
The admissions officers from Z University in Hangcheng also arrived.
A young man and woman, both visibly excited.
They never imagined such fortune would fall into Z University's lap.
Jiang Che, Qin Qiaoqiao, and Ye Mengyao were all among the top 10 students in the province. While Z University was prestigious, it still lagged behind top-tier institutions like Yan University.
Yet, these students had rejected offers from Yan University and other elite schools to choose Z University?
"Ah, Young Master Jiang, you have excellent taste. Z University is filled with beautiful women, each more stunning than the last," the Z University admissions officer said, clearly understanding how to appeal to Jiang Che.
They had picked up on Jiang Che's preferences—young men naturally liked beautiful women.
Ye Mengyao tugged at Jiang Che's arm, glaring at the admissions officers.
Jiang Che already had enough romantic entanglements. She didn’t want to see any more added to the mix.
......
The news spread quickly. No sooner had the reporters and admissions officers left than Jiang Che's story broke.
People love gossip, and in the face of Jiang Che's identity as a wealthy heir and a top playboy, the title of top scorer and "Shi Shuo" were quickly forgotten.
[Shocking! The rumored full-score top scorer is the son of Hangcheng's richest man!]
[The youngest billionaire? At just 19, he controls Yuanche Pharmaceutical, valued at trillions!]
[Top scorer and a playboy? Surrounded by beautiful women? Truly enviable!]

One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
agon king storylines. At the start, I obtained the "Ultimate Lackey System" - the more I act as a lackey, the stronger I become. What else could I do? I chose to become the personal henchman of the ultimate villain, Su Muwan. I provoke all sorts of chosen ones, snatch away their opportunities, and commit every evil deed imaginable. You ask who's behind me? Hmph! You're not worthy of knowing my lady's name! ...... ....... I am Su Muwan, the eldest daughter of the Su family. Since childhood, I've possessed extraordinary talent in martial arts, which led to my arrogant and domineering personality in my past life. I was even foolish enough to repeatedly challenge those favored by heaven, ultimately resulting in a tragic death. In this life, I must behave and absolutely cannot walk the same path again!! However... SLAP!! "So you're the Dragon King, huh?!" When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink. Su Muwan's suspended heart finally died as she watched Qin Luo, her utterly loyal lackey, standing before her. She fainted on the spot from shock. Heaven is determined to destroy me!! (Pure love 1v1, light-hearted, no angst, single female lead, villain, reincarnation, lackey)
