Synopsis

What happens when a chicken becomes a left-behind child's "magic lamp"? The whole village says this "top scholar chicken" can summon the God of Literature, but Xiaoqing only wants it to lay a "top scholar egg" that will bring back the parents she has not seen for years. Expired health supplements taken as elixirs, a tape player looping math olympiad lessons, a shaman performing a consecration dance... Behind this absurd "chicken genius training plan" lie a glowing egg and a secret the whole village dares not speak: will eating this egg really make you a top scholar? Or is the promise that her parents will return a lie? In the cracks between magic and reality, when everything falls apart, who is lying? Who is waiting? And who will glimpse the truth about family in the broken eggshell?
