Poetry can cultivate character, lift the spirits, serve in battle, help appraise treasures, unlock secret realms, and reveal the laws of heaven and earth. It truly does more good than harm.
On the Poetry Rhyme Continent, poetry reigns supreme. Cultivators use poems to communicate with the laws of heaven and earth, turning lines of verse into supernatural combat abilities. Lin Chen, a science student who transmigrates into the body of Yunqing Sect’s useless senior disciple with a defective poetry root, defies fate with his modern way of thinking and deep knowledge of poetry. He searches the continent for the twelve mysterious divine-grade poetry arts, driving out demons, repelling foreign enemies, sealing poetry fiends, and proving the Heavenly Dao.
When the Immortal Alliance gathers to condemn him, Lin Chen writes in the snow: “No one will help me reach for the clouds, so I’ll tread through snow and climb the peak myself.” To his astonishment, he summons the lingering soul of Li Taibai, the immortal poet, and uses a divine art to break the shackles of the Heavenly Dao. He becomes the “Poetry Emperor,” the embodiment of the laws of poetry, and proves that poetry is the ultimate code governing the universe.
