The Jokhang Dynasty was a world that was turned upside down. The nobles of aristocratic families hold books, regard martial arts as barbaric practices, and monopolize the palace of knowledge; the common people hold fists, deprived of the right to study, and can only earn a living with their fists and feet, but are despised by the powerful.
Shen Yan is an alien in this world. He was originally a soldier soul tempered by the flames of war, and he forged a great reputation from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, but he died together with the enemy in the final battle. When he opened his eyes again, he became a poor scholar named Shen Yan in Dazhao.
This scholar came from a humble background but was obsessed with reading. He tried to knock on the doors of the rich and powerful with his pen and ink. He eventually died of hunger, cold, overwork, and illness.
When the soldier's soul settled in the weak body, when the martial arts master put on the scholar's coat, everything changed.
Shen Yan looked at the brown rice in the broken jar and touched the thin clothes on his body, his eyes as sharp as knives. Read? Imperial examination? In this abnormal world, perhaps fists can speak better. But he did not abandon his pen. After all, in this world that values literature over martial arts, the word "scholar" is the best disguise and the sharpest weapon.
As a result, there was a strange person in Dazhao. He can recite poems and make dialogues, and he can knock down strong men with one punch; he holds the book of sages, and he also has hidden killing skills. The neighbors said he was crazy for studying, and the powerful laughed at him for breaking the rules by practicing martial arts. But when trouble comes, when injustice strikes, it is this seemingly weak scholar who stands up.
He uses his pen and ink as a shield to protect the morality in his heart; he uses his fists and feet as blades to break the deformities in the world. Let's see how Shen Yan, a man of literary and military skills, blazed an unprecedented path in this topsy-turvy world and became the most capable scholar in Dazhao, stirring up troubles and rewriting the rules.
