In the Age of Enlightenment, under the Yan Dynasty, there are no gender or background entry barriers to take the imperial exam. Every scholar has the dream of becoming a top scorer on the imperial exams. Passing the preliminary exams, and then advancing to the county-level exams is a one-in-a-million chance rigorous process. “If you don't successfully escort my daughter to the exam, then I won’t teach you a single word of the incantation.” The incantation holds the key in breaking the pantherkin’s curse. “Hmph!” The little pantherkin rolls his eyes at the girl sprawled asleep at her desk, her neck still bearing the bite mark from last night. He wonders if he lost his mind, when he finds himself thinking: is it really the worst thing ever, if I have to take her to exams for the rest of my life?
