Lin Yan, a talented student in modern physics, died suddenly because he forgot to eat while immersed in scientific research for five consecutive days. He accidentally traveled to the Dajing Dynasty and became a poor scholar preparing for the Qiu Wei exam. Faced with an unfamiliar imperial examination system and a poor situation, he had no ancient knowledge reserves and relied on the ancient poems he had memorized in his mind to pretend to be a talented scholar. He rose to prominence through poetry, but it also attracted jealousy and assassination from his colleagues, and he also encountered many challenges on the scientific research road. From the literati gathering in Suzhou Prefecture to the Qiuwei examination hall, Lin Yan relied on his "borrowed" poetic talents step by step to deal with crises while exploring a way to survive in ancient times, starting a counterattack in the imperial examinations full of suspense and opportunities.
