This is a world where scholars wield the power of heaven and earth. With talent, one can kill enemies with poetry, annihilate armies with lyrics, and bring peace to the world with prose. A scholar can strategize on paper; a successful candidate in the provincial examination can compose poems and write essays; and a candidate in the imperial examination can engage in heated debates. When a sage arrives, he can condemn people with words and writings, punish individuals, and judge the emperor as tyrannical, making one a match for an entire nation. At this time, the Holy Academy held the civil service positions, the monarch controlled the official positions, ten kingdoms were vying for power, barbarian tribes were eyeing the country covetously, and demons were causing chaos. At this time, there was no flourishing of Tang poetry, no golden age of Song lyrics, no innovative writing, and no new sages for a hundred years. An unknown, poor boy, after having his head smashed, embarked on the path to sainthood, carrying with him timeless poems and astonishing writings.

Instead, he was furious: "The stars outside the regional sky are so dazzling, who can stand it? Being blinded by these lights every day, I'm afraid I'll turn into one of those stray cats in the mine tunnels that's been driven mad by the headlights!" So Xu Le gave up his dream of becoming a noble female warship commander's assistant and began to fall, fall, fall under the influence of gravity, becoming a poor boy from out of town who worked as a doorman, a pitiful man who sold his body, a male nanny who did tedious work...

He possessed some strange and unusual knowledge in his mind and had a power in his body that no one in this world had ever encountered. He was not confused, but rather absurdly content as he entered this most boring yet most interesting world. The life of a stranger must be very exciting.
