Shi Potian had a distant relative named Shi Fei.
Shi Fei had been considered a child prodigy from a very young age. At three, he could recognize characters, and by five, he was already holding a brush and writing poetry. In terms of intelligence, he had always stood out among his peers. His parents even believed he was a prodigy destined to bring honor to their ancestors, and from childhood, they brought him along to show him off to relatives and friends.
They pinned all their hopes on him to stand out and bring prosperity to the family. However, when he reached his teens, they realized he didn't quite possess the exceptional talent they had imagined. Instead of farming, they sent him to study at a private school. He did study, but he didn't really absorb much. After entering his teens, the essays he wrote and the characters he penned were no longer all that different from anyone else's.
