Not many people participated in this national calligraphy and painting competition, and most of the participants were special admissions students.
The sons and daughters of wealthy families, having participated in various international competitions from a young age, were already adorned with honors. Therefore, they were not very keen on this competition. On the other hand, quite a few special admissions students hoped that through such an opportunity, they could have more bargaining chips when entering society for a better future.
Of course, there were also some girls who wanted to use this competition as a stepping stone to marry into a wealthy family. Shen Yixue was one of them, and she confidently handed over her work to the school office responsible for the competition.
