Lin Mingren transmigrates to the Shengyuan Continent and becomes a penniless scholar whose engagement has just been broken off.
In this world, scholars can kill with poetry and wipe out armies with verse. But he has nothing to his name and cannot even pass the lowest-level examination. His fiancée tears up their marriage contract in front of everyone: “A person like you will be a good-for-nothing your whole life.”
Just as everyone is trampling him into the dirt
[Ding! Literary Sage System successfully loaded!]
[Host faces imminent humiliation. Forced mission: compose a poem on the spot and face-slap everyone. Failure penalty: execution.]
Lin Mingren freezes.
He looks down at the Three Hundred Tang Poems from Earth in his mind...
“Have you not seen the waters of the Yellow River descending from heaven, ”
With one “Bring in the Wine,” literary talent surges through the entire city, and an examiner drops to his knees on the spot. “This poem... must be known throughout the land!”
From then on, Lin Mingren is trapped on an endless path: forced by the System to plagiarize poems, forced to face-slap his opponents, and forced to take the female emperor as his book attendant.
While others cultivate literary talent, he practices “reciting the entire text from memory.”
While others compete for scholarly rank, he relies on “nine years of compulsory education.”
When the demon armies invade and even demigods are helpless, Lin Mingren silently opens the System’s shop
[The Art of War by Sun Tzu costs 10,000 points. Confirm exchange?]
That day, humanity finally learns what it means to crush the opposition with knowledge from another dimension.
