Sage in Troubles: Verse Turns the Tide

Jiang Han, a modern youth, transmigrates into the illegitimate son of the Duke of Wei’s Manor in the Great Yuan Kingdom and becomes a son-in-law after offending the princess. Drawing on timeless poems from his past life, he turns the tide in despair. He survives by composing a poem in three steps and passes a trial by lifting a tripod with leverage, embarking on Confucian cultivation. From the pupil exam to the Imperial Academy, he outwits nobles and frames, stabilizes people’s livelihoods with statecraft essays. Amid the treacherous court and Confucian power games, the disgraced illegitimate son ascends step by step to the rank of Confucian Sage.
