Synopsis: This is a world where scholars control the power of heaven and earth. With literary aura within, poems can slay enemies, lyrics can annihilate armies, and essays can bring peace to the realm. A Xiucai raises a brush, discussing warfare on paper; a Juren slays enemies, his eloquent words becoming essays as he speaks; a Jinshi in anger, his lips like spears and his tongue like swords. When a sage arrives, he can condemn with words and punish with writing, execute people, declare the Son of Heaven unrighteous, and stand against a nation alone. At this time, the Sacred Academy controls literary ranks, the monarch holds official positions, ten kingdoms contend, barbarians watch hungrily, and demons wreak havoc. At this time, there is no flourishing of Tang poetry, no peak of Song lyrics, no innovative essays, and no new sage in a hundred years. After an obscure youth from a poor family is struck on the head, he carries timeless poetry and essays, writes works that startle the sages, and embarks on the path to supreme sagehood.
