I Became a Literary Sage by Writing Poems for Scenic Spots

[Literary Plagiarism + Literary Genius + Multiple Secret Identities + Showing Off and Face-Slapping + Parallel World]

Shen Zhiwen transmigrates to a parallel world, where his father is facing business failure and his family is falling apart.

Fortunately, he discovers that this world has none of the masterpieces and novels from his previous life.

To save his family, Shen Zhiwen decides to become a literary plagiarist!

He films himself reciting “Watching the Waterfall at Mount Lu.” The video stuns everyone, draws praise from leading professors, boosts tourism at Mount Lu, and earns him a 500,000-yuan reward from Xijiang's cultural tourism bureau.

Then “On Mount Tai,” “The Road to Shu Is Hard,” and “Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng” follow in quick succession, prompting cultural tourism bureaus everywhere to beg Shen Zhiwen to write for them and attract visitors!

Shen Zhiwen dons a secret identity and serializes novels online.

A line from Battle Through the Heavens, “Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river. Don't look down on a good-for-nothing just because he's young,” goes viral nationwide and creates a whole host of web-novel tropes, including the good-for-nothing protagonist, the old master in a ring, and the broken engagement.

A Will Eternal opens with nine dragons pulling a coffin. Its grandeur wins it the honor of having one hundred alliance leaders on the very day it is released, making it the fastest book ever to reach that milestone and earning the envy of fellow authors.

Shen Zhiwen reinvents himself once more as a published author, writing Dragon Raja and Your Name, which turn a deserted bookstore into a packed success.

Just when everyone thinks he only writes young adult fiction, Alive face-slaps the entire crowd and wins the Mao Dun Literature Prize.

Years later, when his various secret identities are finally revealed, the world discovers that the person they both love and hate is the same man. Shen Zhiwen has long since been hailed as the greatest literary sage of the modern age for his poetry.
