At the end of the Southern Dynasty, the imperial power fell and the clans were divided. Lu Wenyuan, a scholar from a poor family, in his previous life offended the top family leader "Cui family of Qinghe" because of his talent. He was slandered and imprisoned, and died tragically in exile. On the eve of his rebirth and returning to Beijing to take the exam, he holds half a mysterious bamboo slip in his hand, and his mind contains memories of his past life and the world's trends in the next ten years. His goal is clear and crazy: to use literature as a blade to win over the hearts of the people, to overthrow the aristocratic family that has been entrenched for thousands of years, and to open a way for the poor and the common people in the world to survive.
**Core Conflict Build**:
- **Villain Agent**: The top family member "Qinghe Cui" and their spokesperson, the current power minister Cui Yan, regard the rise of the poor family as a threat that shakes the foundation, and use political resources and public opinion to suppress and frame Lu Wenyuan in all aspects.
- **Destiny Chip**: If Lu Wenyuan fails, not only will he repeat the tragic fate of his previous life, but the refugees he sheltered and the poor scholars who followed him will also be completely liquidated, and the new order of "equal land" he tried to establish will never be possible.
- **Impossible Mission**: A poor scholar with no foundation needs to complete the class leap and fundamentally shake the foundation of his rule under the absolute barrier of the aristocratic family's monopoly on knowledge, land, and power. He only has ten years (corresponding to the death node in his previous life).
- **Fatal Secret**: Once Lu Wenyuan's identity as a reborn person and the future information in his brain are exposed, it will lead to a frenzied campaign by all vested interests, and he will even be slandered as a "monster".
**Character Dilemma Design**:
- **Environmental/Social Oppression**: The Nine-Rank Zhongzheng system of the Southern Dynasties, "There are no poor families in the upper grades, and no aristocratic families in the lower grades" is an iron rule.
