Poetry’s Prisoner

Xiao Yan, a talented young scholar from Jiangnan, fell from a building and transmigrated into the body of a condemned minister's son in the Great Sheng Dynasty. Just as seven stars aligned, his destiny was about to awaken. He unlocked the gift of “Illuminated Literary Heart”: when he put pen to paper and wrote poetry, he could stir an echo from heaven and earth. With the “Poetry Jail Reaching Heaven” golden finger, every poem he wrote unlocked the spirit of a brilliant writer from past or present to fight at his side. He took first place in the imperial examinations and turned back a thousand troops with a single poem. He relieved disaster and brought peace to the people, opening granaries with his verse. From the despised son of a condemned minister to a rising star of the literary world personally chosen by the emperor, he reworked Tang and Song masterpieces as his own, changed the course of his destiny, and washed away the shame of his past. His poetry shook the world, his literary brilliance towered above the heavens. In this life, his brush would determine the fate of the realm!
