From the Start, I Was Dumped, So I Conquered the World with My Writing

This is an alternate era where the literary arts have fallen into decline and martial prowess reigns supreme. Ling Chen, a scholar from a once-prominent family now fallen on hard times, is publicly humiliated when a powerful martial clan breaks off his engagement. By chance, he awakens a legendary method of Confucian cultivation: the power to make words law and turn writing into weapons, known as Righteous Qi. He wields poetry like a sword and prose like armor, overcoming one obstacle after another on the imperial examination path until his name resounds throughout the capital. Once he enters the court, he faces a corrupt bureaucracy and arrogant military nobles. With extraordinary intelligence and an iron hand, he pushes through reforms in an effort to reshape the realm. Along the way, he becomes deeply entangled with twin sisters linked by fate, both peerless in medicine and poison: one is a benevolent healer who saves lives, the other a cold and resolute poisoner bent on revenge. In the end, Ling Chen must not only root out corruption at court, but also face an apocalyptic conspiracy led by a fallen Confucian master who seeks to overthrow the entire dynasty. With his own strength, he will revive the literary path, become a Confucian sage for the ages, and truly “establish the heart for Heaven and Earth, and the destiny for all living people.”
