After transmigrating, he is immediately saddled with the disgrace of buying his way to the title of top scholar. Drawing on the literary legacy of the prosperous Tang dynasty, he astonishes everyone in the imperial examination, crushes the princes' schemes, and protects a distinguished military family. He is even forced into an alliance with a battle-hardened eldest princess. Combining literary brilliance with military prowess, they join forces to shake up the court of the Great Liang dynasty. He subsequently oversees the compilation of Great Liang's literary anthology, wins over the Hanlin Academy with his poem 'Bring in the Wine,' takes renowned scholars as disciples, and composes dozens of poems in a single night. His fame spreads throughout Great Liang, and he is revered as the Sage of Poetry.
