Wang Lin, a scholar from a mountain village, sees his family fall into ruin. His father goes missing, his mother falls gravely ill, and a local tyrant bullies him. Just as he reaches the depths of despair, the Literary and Martial Arts System activates and forcibly grants him the Finger-Flick Divine Skill and divine-level medical skills. To save his mother, find his father, and overcome one hardship after another on the road to the capital for the imperial examinations, Wang Lin is forced to transform from a frail scholar into a young man with extraordinary martial arts and miraculous medical skills. He maintains his scholarly image as he takes part in the imperial examinations, while secretly righting wrongs and saving lives. In the end, he becomes a master of both the literary and martial arts and the empire's hidden protector. After achieving fame and success, he retires with his family, surrounded by wives and concubines, and lives in seclusion in the mountains.
What a mess
