He transmigrates into a fantasy world where literary talent can hold mountains and rivers at bay, and the law can reach the underworld.
Lin Zhao becomes a penniless young scholar on the verge of seeing his family destroyed over a mere three hundred coins.
His father has vanished, a local magnate covets his ancestral home, and his mother is oppressed by the villagers.
And lurking in the shadows are sinister, supernatural beings.
Faced with a world that devours people, he does not back down.
Instead, he opens his primer and uses his Literary Heart's Insightful Eye to see through every loophole in the rules.
“Debts must be repaid? Fine.”
“But I make the rules.”
Thus, at the village entrance, under the witness of the supreme “Heavenly Mirror,” he turns a desperate act of bullying into a literary duel whose rules he sets himself.
Only when he crushes his opponent with an unmatched verse from the ages, and the mark of “Heaven's Punishment” quietly appears between his brows, does everything begin to get interesting.
It turns out that earning scholarly honors, purging demons and evil, and even playing a game of wits with the lofty “Heavenly Dao”...
Are all, at their heart, the same thing: understand the rules, then make the rules.
This is the ultimate imperial examination, with the world as its board and the books of the sages as its blade.
