Riddle Duel

This is a dream about words, shared by a group of teenagers.

They argue until they’re red in the face over a single riddle clue, then share a can of hot cola after a loss. These are their golden years. As words pass back and forth, the teenagers use their wit and hard work to write the story of their youth. Growth often happens quietly in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

Liu Yiming, a descendant of Liu Yong, has always disliked reading classical Chinese texts and has never been interested in lantern riddles. By chance, he tries his hand at one, drawing on the dormant soul of a Ming-dynasty master of riddles within him to defeat Wu Jialiang, whose family has generations of expertise in the art and whose knowledge surpasses that of all his peers.

Their first contest forges an unbreakable rivalry. From then on, the two pursue one another at every turn, showing off their extraordinary literary wit in each battle of riddles. Through countless clashes, they challenge each other and grow stronger together... A group of teenagers supporting one another on their way to the top!
