A mysterious bronze mirror engraved with "the seventh year of Kaiyuan" draws Xu Mingzhe, a graduate student in the history department, into the whirlpool of the Tang Dynasty during Tianbao's three years. As soon as he opened his eyes, he was carrying the body of a down-and-out scholar with the same name, trapped in the trap of cheating in the imperial examination, with a killing stick hanging high above his head.
In the desperate situation, Zhang Yurou, the daughter of the wise Prime Minister Zhang Jiuling, suddenly appeared and came to the rescue. To prove his innocence, Xu Mingzhe was forced to embark on the smokeless battlefield of Chang'an Poetry Club. Faced with all the literary giants who have made their names in history, he had no choice but to "usurp poetry" - turning the magnificent poems of later generations such as Li Bai, Du Fu, and Wang Wei that shocked the past and the present into his own astonishing talent!
As the poem became famous, crisis followed. The Zhao family's frame-up and Li Linfu's minions pressed forward step by step, uncovering the shady curtain of the imperial party struggle behind the imperial examination fraud case. What makes Xu Mingzhe even more suffocated is that he has a cold prophecy about the countdown to the "Anshi Rebellion", but he can only watch the robes of the prosperous age covered with lice.
Between Zhang Jiuling's deep gaze and Zhang Yurou's clear trust, Xu Mingzhe was walking on thin ice. He uses "stolen" quatrains from the ages as a blade and insights that transcend the times as a shield, and he maneuvers on the tip of the knife of power. Are you becoming a fan of the times? Or should we use the "usurped" poetic talents and prophets to move the gears of fate, and tamper with the final chapter of a tragic song of the Tang Dynasty for ourselves and those we cherish in this crisis of Tianbao that is about to come?
