[No showing off by reciting poems, no System, building connections, handling things with emotional intelligence] Transmigrate as the young Li Bai and experience his life from boyhood to becoming the Poet Immortal!
Delivery rider Lin Xiaobai is out making a delivery when a bolt of lightning strikes. He opens his eyes as a young Li Bai.
The good news: He’s the greatest poet of the Tang Dynasty, able to compose verses on the spot, with people bowing wherever he goes.
The bad news: He’s drowning in debt, has no official credentials, and his father keeps urging him to take the civil service exam.
The biggest problem of all is that he hasn’t written a single one of the poems that will make him famous for all time.
With two hundred Tang poems stored in his head, Lin Xiaobai sets out to make his mark in the Tang Dynasty: stand up to the powerful, befriend heroes, enter the imperial palace, write masterpieces, and add Du Fu, Wang Wei, and He Zhizhang to his friends list along the way.
Only after laughing his way to the end does he understand: The Poet Immortal isn’t born that way. Life hammers you into one.
“I, Li Bai, don’t do the rat race, but I can recite the answers to the original questions.”
