The literati of this dynasty led an unconventional life: they didn’t have to live in constant fear of losing their heads. They could challenge the emperor and shower him with spittle, or show up at court in disheveled clothes without a care. They didn’t have to call themselves slaves and their ruler master, or sob that “if the ruler wants his subject dead, the subject has no choice but to die.” Instead, they could answer the emperor with righteous convi 0Votes133.4kRecs89.1kFans

This was the era most longed for by scholars. In this dynasty, scholars lived an unconventional life, free from the constant fear of losing their heads. They could challenge the emperor, spit in his face, and attend court in disheveled attire without a care. They didn't need to be subservient or whine about "the emperor commands the subject to die, and the subject must die," but could confidently answer the emperor's question, "What is the greatest thing in the world?" With the answer "reason is the greatest." They also had a group of colleagues who considered "influencing the emperor" their greatest loyalty… In this wonderful era, Zheng Lang, who was electrocuted by a faulty laptop and transmigrated to this world, tragically discovers that before becoming a scholar and joining the ranks of the literati to live such a decadent and corrupt life, he has far more serious problems to solve, such as how to reverse his previous reputation as a spoiled brat, and how to deal with his future father-in-law who came to his door to annul the engagement after hearing that he had been knocked unconscious in a fight over a girl...
