While other transmigrators become emperors or generals, Su Zhe opens his eyes to find himself as Su Shi, awaiting death in the Crow Terrace Poetry Case.
The prison is cold, his political enemies are closing in, and a bowl of poisoned food sits in the corner.
Just as despair takes hold, a scroll called the [Heavenly Book of Literary Fate] erupts in his mind. Writing poetry grants him skills, and the farther he is demoted, the greater the rewards.
Li Ding wants him dead? In court, Su Zhe silences the censor with a single poem. Zhang Dun wants to ruin him? Demoted to Huangzhou, he clears land, farms, brews wine, and sells meat, making his three poems on Red Cliff famous across the realm. The court says the miasma in Lingnan will kill him? He goes there, grows lychees, builds academies, and turns his place of exile into a special economic zone.
His political enemies are finally panicking. How does this fellow get more spirited with every demotion?
They don’t understand that for Su Zhe, exile isn’t a banishment. It’s a trip back to the city to level up.
“The farther you demote me, the stronger my literary aura gets. Go on, demote me to the ends of the earth if you dare.”
Until one day, the emperor issues an order with a trembling voice: “Bring him back at once!”
But Su Zhe has only one reply:
“Not yet. There’s still a crop of rice to harvest in Danzhou.”
The writing is so good, right? Where did the extraterrestrial demon come from? This is how historical novels should be, low-key and slap-in-the-face, and fun with poetry and dictionaries!! Highly recommended!!
