In this world, reading is practice.
A child learns to read and decipher words, and is inspired by literary spirit; a scholar writes a book and establishes a code, and all evils are immune; a scholar speaks golden words, and his breath turns into mist; a scholar's righteousness rises to the sky, and all poisons cannot invade; a scholar writes a poem, and the wind and rain follow; a great scholar writes a book and establishes a canon, and one word can control the mountains and rivers -
And Lin Yan, a rural orphan whose parents both died, started with only an old pen, a broken inkstone, and a heart that could see through the origin of words.
From the moment he met the old scholar whose green shirt turned white under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village, he embarked on an unprecedented path of literature. While others were still reciting "The Thousand Words of Meng Xue", he could already see the original light hidden in each word.
But the road is more dangerous than imagined.
