I Became a Sage by Writing Recipes in a World Ruled by the Way of Letters

After transmigrating into a world where the Way of Letters reigns supreme, Fang Yun became a good-for-nothing scholar with a shattered literary palace.

Just as the academy was about to throw him out, he wrote down a line from “Inscription on a Humble Abode” from memory, and his broken literary palace reformed.

On the county exam, he spread out his paper and began writing:

“Seven Steps to Braised Pork: Choose pork ribs, blanch over high heat, caramelize rock sugar...”

The examiners were stunned. A golden light three yards long poured down from the Talent Rankings!

An elder from the Rites Hall denounced him for desecrating the Way of Letters, but Fang Yun invoked the laws of heaven and earth: “Food is the people's first necessity!”

The countless traces of everyday life transformed into a golden literary dragon, coiling above the rankings.

While the great scholars were still poring over ancient texts, he had already written “Postpartum Care for Sows” to solve the beastfolk invasion.

While the Holy Academy debated the art of moral instruction, he printed “Five Years of Imperial Exams, Three Years of Practice Tests,” setting off a frenzy for the Way of Letters.

The elder from the Rites Hall roared, “What kind of heretical nonsense are you writing?”

Fang Yun opened “The Barefoot Doctor's Manual.” “If nonsense saves lives, then it's still worth something!”

The Star of Literary Arts stirred, and the Sacred Way resonated!
