From the Start in the Heavenly Prison: From Death Row Inmate to Confucian Sage

The Jing Dynasty is confined to a small corner of the land, with powerful enemies closing in on every side. Shen Yan transmigrated to another world and woke up in the imperial prison. He had written an essay during the imperial examinations criticizing the emperor! But this world has a cultivation system. Martial artists can split the heavens with their fists, Confucian cultivators can impose rules, and the power of poetry can slay their enemies! As an expert in classical literature, Shen Yan knows countless poems and essays! So what if his cultivation was crippled? One poem of conquest was enough to set him back on the path of Confucian cultivation! When he faced the emperor, he established his own school of thought with ideas far ahead of their time! The nation is weak? I have policies to strengthen it, campaigns to conquer the north, and demons to purge. A Confucian sage can steady the realm with a stroke of his brush!
