A Bride as a Prize for Passing the Exams: One Poem Makes a Female Graduate Fall for Me

[Eastern fantasy + alternate world + imperial examinations + a humble family rises to prominence + literary plagiarist + passionate adventure]

Gu Qingzhou possesses a library of five thousand years of Chinese literature, and transmigrates into the Shengyuan Continent, where poetry can slay demons.

His father has barely died in battle, his second uncle has seized the family estate, and the clan's bullies are closing in. Now they even mean to steal the “marriage allotment for local militia” granted to him by the imperial court and give it to his ungrateful cousin as a plaything!

Facing utter desperation, Gu Qingzhou, mocked as a good-for-nothing without a literary heart for eighteen years, slaps his green-tea cousin flying and forcibly binds himself to a peerless female genius who has fallen from grace. He even awakens a god-tier talent!

By cultivating both Confucian and contract arts, he copies maxed-out talent! As long as he cultivates with someone and borrows their literary energy, he can draw on five thousand years of invincible Chinese poetry!

One poem, “Mooring by Guazhou,” fills the body with life force, and the aloof female licentiate turns red-eyed on the spot and obediently cultivates with him!

He writes a “Poem of Slaughter,” bringing down thunder from the heavens, smashing his hypocritical cousin and trampling the clan's sanctimonious elders!

At eighteen, he cultivates with his beautiful Daoist companion in his arms, slays a million soldiers in Jiangnan with one battle poem, and subdues countless powerful families!

At nineteen, he wins people over with both physics and poetry, lives off his companion while still calling the shots, levels the ancestral shrine of a semi-sage, and wipes out the ink demons of the world!

At twenty, the Heavenly Dao of myriad worlds submits to him, with the empress and beauties all around. I, Gu Qingzhou, am the one and only supreme ruler of the Sacred Dao!
