A Transmigrated Plagiarist? No, I'm a Literary Sage

Lu Renjia, a modern corporate drone, dies suddenly and transmigrates into the body of a penniless scholar in the Great Yin Dynasty, who happens to share his name. Here, literary culture has only just begun to flourish, and the finest poetry can stir “literary energy,” create wondrous phenomena, and strengthen the body! With the entire treasure trove of Tang and Song poetry in his mind, Lu Renjia initially plans to copy poems for a comfortable living. But one astonishing work after another makes his name, and he is hailed as a “poetic genius born to greatness.”

From making his name in the provincial capital to taking first place in Yujing, he copies Li Bai, recites Du Fu, and writes like Su Dongpo. His literary energy soars into the heavens, but he is also drawn into court intrigue and jianghu conflicts. Behind the glory lie the covetousness of the powerful, the suspicions of the imperial court, and accusations of plagiarism. When national calamity strikes and the land is shattered, cornered and desperate, he finally abandons “copying poems” and, with blood and tears and hard-won insight, composes an original sacred poem that shakes heaven and earth, stirring the hearts of the people and saving the realm from collapse!

From a “nobody” forced to copy poetry to a true “Literary Sage” who carries the Way through verse and uses literary energy to protect the people, Lu Renjia draws on the poetic soul of five thousand years of Chinese civilization to write an immortal legend of his own in this unfamiliar world! A mere poetry copycat? No, he becomes a sage of literature whose light shines through the ages!
