One Righteous Utterance Shakes the World

[Confucian cultivation] [No System] [Traditional Xuanhuan] [No female lead] Chu Yan always thought he was just an ordinary scholar. Sure, he'd transmigrated into the disgraced heir of the Prince of Zhending's household, but no matter. All he had to do was give up his title as heir and get a travel permit to leave the capital. Then he could get away from the capital's mess, open a bookshop, and drink tea! But after the Imperial Academy's literary gathering, everything took a strange turn. He casually borrowed an essay from his previous life, only for the heavens and earth to fill with righteous qi. An ancient bell rang throughout Yujing, and even the imperial palace's fortune began to stir. The household had been waiting to laugh at him, but now everyone fell silent. Chu Huailin was so consumed by jealousy that he lost his composure. The Princess Consort's branch grew fearful, while Prince of Zhending Chu Jinghan remained silent. Even Emperor Qian suspected that the prince's household was hiding an ambitious trump card. What gave Chu Yan an even bigger headache was that the Demon Suppression Bureau had its eye on him too. Resentful energy surged from the abandoned well in the side courtyard, and the words “Save me” rising from the black mist seemed connected to an old case from the household years ago. Chu Yan sighed.
