| Summary | "石點頭" by Tianranchisou is a fictional narrative set during a historical time period reminiscent of classical Chinese literature. The story centers around the main character, 郭喬 (Guo Qiao), a man struggling with his academic failures and personal challenges, while also navigating complicated relationships and familial duties. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Guo Qiao, a scholar plagued by his inability to succeed in the imperial examination system. Despite his intellect and potential, he finds himself mocked by peers and burdened by the expectations of family and society. When his uncle invites him to visit, Guo Qiao seizes the opportunity for a change of scenery, taking along some goods to trade. Along the way, he encounters a poignant situation involving an old man facing punishment and his daughter, whose plight touches Guo Qiao deeply and leads him to act generously, setting off a chain of events that intertwines their fates. This opening establishes themes of fate, familial loyalty, and the quest for success, while hinting at the complexity of relationships and destiny in traditional societal contexts.
