The Ways of the World

Shen Yan's soul transmigrates to another world after a car accident. The words "literary thief" are branded on his face, the tendons in his right hand are severed, and he is stripped of his registration and cast out of his clan. Here, people cultivate through literary aura, and those born to humble families have no way forward. The lost history of Chinese literature from three hundred years ago in his mind is a capital crime to use. So he takes up his brush in his left hand and borrows the bones of the ancients, stroke by stroke prying open a world monopolized by the literary houses.
