Chen Ming, a modern young man, transmigrates to the Great Sheng Dynasty. As a poor scholar, he activates the Palace Intrigue System and is bound to the ultimate mission of becoming the greatest Imperial Tutor. Failure means having his memories erased and countless people dragged into danger. At the time, the Great Sheng literary world is all pomp and empty show, the powerful paint a picture of peace and prosperity, and the people are in dire straits.
Chen Ming refuses to uphold the decadent literary style. With poems such as "The Old Charcoal Seller" and "The Stone Moat Official," he confronts the suffering of ordinary people head-on. The System helps him enter the world of power, where he struggles between advancing through the System and fighting for the people amid Chancellor Li Chong's oppression and the conflicts between the imperial court and the harem. Using his modern perspective, he unites like-minded allies and turns the tables with foresight. In the end, he sets a trap at a poetry gathering at court and brings down the chancellor, becoming a renowned Imperial Tutor. Through poetry, he gives voice to the people and sows the seeds of change.
