Reborn as a Honglou Concubine's Son, I Become a Sage Through My Reputation

In Yangzhou, Jiangnan, Chu Han, the illegitimate son of the Chu family, awakens memories of his past life. In his eyes, this world has no Li Bai or Du Fu, no Su Shi or Xin Qiji. The immortal poems that have illuminated Huaxia for millennia will all become one-of-a-kind “original works” penned by him! One mournful lyric, “River Town Song,” leaves the gathered scholars weeping, their tears soaking their collars. With a flourish, he writes the preface to Penglai Pavilion, summoning nine-colored clouds and wondrous celestial phenomena. Others study for fame and rank. He studies to restore the brightest literary traditions to this world. He isn’t taking exams; he’s “using a higher dimension to crush the competition.” While the literary world of Great Zhou is still laboring over “spring blossoms and autumn moons,” Chu Han draws on immortal masterpieces from the ages. From a peerless prodigy who passes six top examinations in a row, he steadily rises to become a literary sage for all time, wielding words as his sword and fame as its edge. This is more than an imperial examination. It’s the overwhelming triumph of one civilization over another. This novel and its characters are entirely fictional.
