Can Even an Illiterate Become a Sage?

Su Bai transmigrates into a world ruled by literature, where literary talent grants the power to communicate with Heaven and Earth.

Sages can even control the land around them and safeguard a nation's fortune.

But Su Bai is a terrible student, and he barely knows any of the literary classics from his previous life.

To make matters worse, his predecessor was a locally renowned talent, with a fanatical admirer who constantly boasts about his literary reputation.

Every time, he can only sigh in panic and exasperation: I'm really not a literary genius!

Just as he fears he'll eventually become a laughingstock, he discovers something astonishing.

He writes just a few lines from the Ten Passages of the Analects in an exam, and literary aura surges into the sky, stirring the image of a Sage and earning him a Sage's protection and fortune.

The great Confucian scholars all say he has the makings of a Sage.

A simple doggerel about Daming Lake fills him with literary aura, and a toad becomes possessed by a spirit, speaks in human words, and turns into a demon on the spot.

A simple poem in vernacular Chinese breaks new ground and gives rise to a Sage's rank. As it spreads and gains popularity, fortune gathers around him, and he ascends to Sainthood.

He is known as the White Sage.

Su Bai is utterly stunned. With my level of education, I can become a Sage in this world?
