After transmigrating to ancient times, Mingyue was ready to make a big splash, only to discover that this dynasty appeared nowhere in modern histories of ancient China.
It valued scholarship over military might, had a well-developed civil service examination system, had just emerged from war, was ruled by a wise sovereign, and allowed freedom of thought and speech.
In short, it was a paradise for scholars.
But... Mingyue was a STEM student.
Still, she had a group chat full of ancient literati.
Li Bai, Du Fu, Yuan Zhen, Bai Juyi, Su Shi, Su Zhe... All the famous writers she knew from history had gathered in the chat. Looking at the perfect dynasty she lived in, they lamented that they had been born at the wrong time.
Meanwhile, STEM student Mingyue gazed at the dads in the group chat, eyes shining
[Top poet Li Taibai, challenge me if you dare]: Gifted the skill [Poetry After Drinking]. It gives the group owner a poetry-writing buff, but also causes drunkenness.
[Food, drink, fun: the important things in life]: Gifted the skill [I feel young again, and whose poetry could be bolder than mine?]. It gives the group owner's poems a bold and expansive buff, but also makes her gain ten pounds.
[The Next One Loves Visiting Brothels]: Gifted the skill [One Hundred Erotic Poems]. It gives the group owner's poems a rich, sensual style and boosts their popularity in brothels, but makes scholars think less of her.
No poem, essay, or poet should ever be lost to the passage of time. Even when dynasties change and palaces crumble, writing remains immortal.
See how this STEM girl makes her mark in an age that prizes literature!
Tips:
1. Still researching.
2. Please offer differing opinions kindly. I'll make changes once they're verified.
3. No matchmaking, but plenty of mischief. Assume the literati in the group have encountered modern internet culture.
4. Discussion is welcome, but please don't argue. Everyone has different opinions, and the author's views aren't necessarily correct either. Please discuss rationally.
Theme: Respect all writers.
