Qin Mu, a liberal arts student, transmigrates into the body of an abandoned son of a marquis's household, left to wander the streets. He is so desperately poor that he ends up eating at a restaurant without paying alongside an elderly beggar, only to be beaten up. After sharing half a flatbread, he unexpectedly catches the attention of influential people with his poem Man Jiang Hong. One legendary poem after another leaves the capital astonished. He humiliates arrogant young nobles at a restaurant, amazes a female general with his poetry, and moves the emperor to tears when a wealthy heiress pays a fortune for his verses. When the border is threatened, he presents three strategies that shake the imperial court. His biological father eagerly wants to bring him back to the marquis's estate, but his stepmother and younger brother secretly plot against him. With a poetry gathering approaching, Qin Cheng even steals half of his unfinished manuscript. How will Qin Mu turn the tables this time?
