A Literary Master for the Ages

Synopsis

It is said that on the Eastern Saint Continent, the three kingdoms of Yong, Wu, and Qi stand as equals, each boasting formidable strength. Of them, Yong controls the heartland of the Central Plains, governing through civil administration. Its economy is thriving, and its literary culture flourishes.

With the aid of Confucian scholars, Yong’s founding emperor established the Yong Dynasty. For a time, Confucianism enjoyed unmatched influence. But as its power continued to grow, the rulers of the day gradually began to see it as a threat. So, more than three hundred years ago, Yong spared no effort in launching a second campaign to burn books and bury Confucian scholars. The conflict left both Yong and Confucianism severely weakened, shattering the balance among the three kingdoms. With Wu watching hungrily from the sidelines, Yong’s position became precarious. Against this backdrop, the protagonist, Gu Xun, accidentally transmigrates to Yong and finds himself in the body of a scholar who has never practiced cultivation. See how he draws on the treasures of thousands of years of Earth’s cultural heritage to enter the Dao through poetry in another world, embark on the path of cultivation, turn the tide, and save Yong from threats both within and without.
