Shen Ping, the top liberal arts student in the national college entrance exam, accidentally transmigrates and becomes the wastrel heir of a marquis's estate.
His elder sister is a favored consort of Great Chu, wielding power throughout the imperial harem. His father is the Marquis of Pingyang, a high-ranking official serving as Vice Minister of Revenue.
His status and background could hardly be more illustrious, and Shen Ping is perfectly content with his life. He had planned to spend his days as a good-for-nothing, enjoying himself until the end, but the world refuses to stay quiet.
The imperial harem is consumed by endless rivalry for favor, and political schemes never cease. To protect his closest family, Shen Ping has no choice but to pick up his books again in this ancient world.
Shen Ping: “I was the top liberal arts student in the national college entrance exam. Do you really think I can't outstudy a bunch of impoverished old pedants like you? If you disagree, bring it on!”
He makes a dazzling impression at the Imperial Academy and takes all three top honors in the imperial examinations.
When Shen Ping joins forces with the Emperor of Chu and brings his blade to bear on the lofty aristocratic clans, everyone finally realizes that the young man before them is no longer the uneducated wastrel he once was.
The aristocratic clans: “Young Master Shen is coming with his men! Burn the family genealogies, quick!”
The foreign tribes: “King Yama Shen, please stop killing us! We are willing to honor you as the Heavenly Khan!”
The Emperor of Chu: “Why don't you take the throne instead, dear brother-in-law?”
