Ren Yanzhou, a young man from a modern Shaobing shop, accidentally traveled to parallel times and became a poor scholar who failed three times in the Qian Dynasty. This world has followed a different historical trajectory since Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty. There are no Tang poems and Song lyrics, and literati are dominated by parallel prose and Han Fu.
Ren Yanzhou, who awakened to the golden finger of photographic memory, relied on the poetry dictionary library he had memorized in his previous life to cheat all the way from the county examination. He amazed the examiners with his modern adaptation of "A Grain of Millet Sows in Spring" and impressed the emperor with his political views of "people are the foundation of the country". He won three prizes in a row and became the number one scholar.
On the road to officialdom, he met the quirky spirit of the little princess Li Zhaozhao of the dynasty, was impressed by the dignity of Su Wanqing, the daughter-in-law of the Duke's palace, collided with the business acumen of Shen Qingtang, the daughter of Jiangnan merchants, and was impressed by the chess, calligraphy and painting of Liu Qingyan, the Qinhuai courtesan. Four confidantes fell in love with him because of his talent and character.
From being a compiler in the Hanlin Academy to being a bachelor of the cabinet, and then becoming a powerful Taifu, Ren Yanzhou implemented the land equalization system, improved farm tools, and rectified the administration, making the country prosperous and the people strong. Facing the Huns' invasion, he strategized and used modern military tactics to win victory.
This is a story about an ordinary young man who rewrites his destiny with his memories of his past life. It includes the rise in the imperial examination and official career, as well as the emotional perfection of four beauties living under the same roof. See how Ren Yanzhou conquered the ancient literary world with his poems and songs, and used modern wisdom to create a prosperous dynasty.
