This is the story of a graduate student majoring in Classical Chinese who has been repeatedly thwarted in his job search, and who travels back to the mid-Ming Dynasty and enters the body of a young child in a mountain village. A dull father and a shrewish mother, a whole host of peculiar relatives—the farmhouse courtyard is always rife with trouble. Fortunately, we have thousands of years of historical heritage, the Four Books and Five Classics, and the eight-legged essay; our major is also relevant, so who says it's impossible for a poor family to produce a successful child? As national power rises, the government can govern without any intervention. Lax laws and regulations, and lax official discipline; There were a few treacherous officials, and also some Japanese pirates; But overall, it can be said that this was fertile ground for the free growth of the literati.

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 held 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.
