Becoming a Sage Through Poetry: Who Isn't a Sage These Days?

Chen Huaiyi transmigrated. His predecessor had been slandered by his clan and faced the desperate prospect of being expelled from the family, disgraced, and robbed of any future. Fortunately, this world revered literature and sages above all. In the ancestral hall, Chen Huaiyi wrote a poem declaring his resolve and asked the Sage to judge his case, proving his innocence. His poem astonished the Sage, and the injustice was overturned. It also drew disciples from the academy, the county magistrate, great Confucian scholars, and clan members from across the prefecture, all arriving in droves. From then on, Chen Huaiyi embarked on the path of becoming a sage through poetry.
