I’m the Star of Literature Incarnate! You’re Selling Me Off to Fund Your Stepson’s Imperial Exams?

[History] [Imperial Examinations] [Bookboy] [Play the pig to eat the tiger] [Passionate power fantasy]

Shenyang, a doctorate in literature, transmigrates to ancient times and becomes a bookboy sold into servitude. It's hellish difficulty from the start!

With a wicked stepmother in front of him and a cruel young master behind him, things are even worse because all the previous bookboys died mysterious deaths!

Fortunately, his mind holds the treasures of the entire Chinese literary world.

One poem, "The Golden Rooster Heralds the Dawn," astonishes the head of the household, while three poems destined to be classics crush the county school's scholars!

The spoiled young master sees him as a "cheating tool," the famous courtesan of the pleasure house falls for him, and even a talented woman from an enemy kingdom sends him secret glances...

See how this humble bookboy wields poetry like a sword, righting every wrong, rising from an enslaved servant to wield power at court and make his name known throughout the world!
