Lin Yan’s soul arrives in this world, inhabiting a hapless young man who is publicly rejected by his fiancée and brutally tormented by his cousin.
His clansmen sneer: “A good-for-nothing is still a good-for-nothing. You’ll never be able to draw on spiritual energy in this lifetime!”
His fiancée scoffs: “I’d rather marry a wild dog than a piece of trash with a severed literary vein!”
The geniuses mock him: “You dare set foot on the path of literature without a literary vein? You’re asking for death!”
But they don’t know that Lin Yan comes from Blue Star and carries five thousand years of Chinese linguistic heritage within him!
He needs no literary vein. A single character draws in energy, words become spells, and idioms contain the Dao!
“Swift as thunder and wind” crushes mighty foes; “the might of ten thousand thunders” suppresses petty villains; “swallowing mountains and rivers” defies the heavens!
You break off our engagement? I’ll make sure you can never hope to measure up to me!
You bully me? I’ll teach you what it means to regret it for the rest of your life!
You call me a good-for-nothing? Just watch me wield idioms as blades, carve my way through the immortal realm, shatter the highest heavens, and become the Eternal Literary Sage!
“From this day on, Chinese idioms are my Dao!”
