Synopsis
Shen Ci, a modern young man, traveled to the fictional Dajing Dynasty and became the bullied youngest son of the Shen family in the capital. The original owner was cowardly and incompetent. He had just been severely injured by his brother-in-law Shen Ao, and was publicly humiliated by his fiancée Liu to break off the engagement. His life was hanging by a thread. When he was about to die, the "Gengwang Poetry Upgrade System" was forcibly bound. A modern hot stem system that was full of "666" and "You are in the atmosphere" became his only life-saving straw and counterattack plug-in. The first task released by the system is full of bad taste: at the poetry meeting seven days later, recite a poem in public and slap the divorced woman in the face. If you succeed, you will unlock [Junior Literary Talent], if you fail, you will have to parade on the street and shout "I am a rookie". Penniless and unaccompanied, Shen Ci relied on the time-honored poems and humorous guidance provided by the system to become a blockbuster at the poetry meeting. He shocked the audience with "Looking up to the sky laughing and going out, how can I be a Penghao person". He initially cleared his reputation as a good-for-nothing, but also completely offended the Liu family and the dignitaries who were watching the joke. This is the starting point of the core conflict: the old class order cannot tolerate a sudden rise of a bastard. Relying on the system's task chain, Shen Ci's "literary talent" level continued to increase, from "junior literary talent" to "rookie in poetry". He copied (composed) poems, wrote articles, and offered suggestions, and his literary reputation gradually rose. However, his brother Shen Ao's jealousy and oppression intensified, and he combined forces within the family to try to kill him several times. Under the system's warnings of "keep on growing" and "operations", Shen Ci resolves dangers and gradually accumulates his reputation and connections, including getting acquainted with Zhao Yan (helper), a descendant of the down-and-out clan who has a keen eye for talents, and Chu Hongxiu (suitor/helper), the daughter of a general who is impressed by his talent. The real test came when Shen Ci passed the imperial examination and entered the officialdom and was given the opportunity to serve as a county magistrate. What he faced were the intricate local tyrants, the bureaucrats at the top and bottom who were lying on their backs, and the poor people who were in urgent need of rescue. The system task has been upgraded to [Essuring the World and Containing the People], and the rewards have also changed from poems and articles to practical skills such as basic agricultural technology and simple epidemic prevention knowledge. Shen Ci used the "super-era" ideas provided by modern management thinking and systems to improve water conservancy, promote new farm tools, and solve cases like a god. He has made outstanding achievements and is known as "Shen Qingtian." But this touched off the local interest network headed by Cui Jin (the villain), the Minister of Civil Affairs. They fabricated accusations, united with the hostile forces in the DPRK and China, launched an impeachment, and wanted to put Shen Ci to death. This is a deepening of the dilemma: compromise with the powerful to protect yourself, or insist on reform and face the storm? Driven by the system's instigation (?) To "take life and death lightly, and do it if you don't accept it" and his own beliefs, Shen Ci chose to be tough. With the delicate balance between the emperor and some Qingliu (swingers), he passed the test in a thrilling way, and his reputation went to the next level. Border wars broke out suddenly, and the country was in danger. Shen Ci's talents were pushed to a broader stage. Relying on the "First Preview of Military Strategy" unlocked by the system and his familiarity with historical battles, he came up with unique strategies and personally participated in military affairs in the later stages. However, the biggest enemy is not the foreign invaders, but the conservatives and peace-seeking factions in the DPRK headed by Prime Minister Qin Siyuan (the final BOSS). Qin Siyuan was cunning and cunning, bundling national interests with personal power. He regarded Shen Ci, who was determined to reform and won the hearts of the people, as the biggest threat and repeatedly set up dead ends. Under the double stranglehold of the battlefield and the court, Shen Ci relied on the systematic crisis warning, the life-saving help of his partners (such as Zhao Yan's clan identity manipulation, Chu Hongxiu's force protection), and his increasingly mature political wisdom, and saved danger time and time again. His system title has also been promoted to [National Talent]. Eventually, when external troubles subside, internal conflicts always break out. Qin Siyuan launched a coup in order to completely eliminate the reform forces represented by Shen Ci around the emperor. Under the guidance of the ultimate mission [The Backbone of the World] released by the system, Shen Ci united all like-minded people to launch a counterattack. In the court showdown and the secret battle in the capital that determined the fate of the empire, Shen Ci not only used wisdom and courage, but also revealed the ultimate secret hidden in the system at the critical moment - it was not water without a source. Its energy and knowledge base were actually closely connected with the origin of civilization in this world and the truth of his journey. After defeating Qin Siyuan, Shen Ci did not choose to be an extremely popular minister, but promoted a profound and gentle change, leading Dajing to prosperity. He finally understood that the ultimate reward of the system was to give him the ability and responsibility to "change the times", and his daily exchanges with the gossiping system became the most hilarious footnote in this new legend. Concept: The main story line of this work is that the souls of modern young people travel through the imaginary ancient times and rely on the poetry system to counterattack and grow up. It breaks away from the superficial narrative of simple counterattacks and uses the ups and downs of small characters to reflect the struggle of human nature under the feudal class order and the breakthrough of the times. It conveys the core value of both blood and warmth. The multi-layered ideas are advanced layer by layer, making the story both refreshing and thoughtful.
