Xia Rongji, a new elite soldier in the military academy, complained because of his bad mouth, "Why study the Book of Songs? It's not like you want to travel to the Zhou Dynasty to be a poetry collector." Then he accidentally traveled into a general and prince in a fictional world of history.
The prince was highly consistent with his ideas and agreed that the useless position of poetry collector should be abolished. However, he was rejected by the emperor's brother until his death. So Xia Rongji decided to help the prince fulfill his unfulfilled wish and proposed better policies in the court to abolish the poetry collection system. However, the emperor's brother arranged for him to go out with the poetry collector Song Jiqian to experience poetry collection.
As the journey of collecting poems progressed smoothly, Song Jiqian took Xia Rongji to experience the life and customs of the people he had never experienced before. The two also went from being dissatisfied with each other at the beginning to understanding each other and becoming close friends in the end. Xia Rongji also gradually understood the emperor's painstaking efforts, and gradually had a different view on the position of poetry collector.
