A PhD in Modern Chinese Language and Literature travels through time and becomes Wei Niesheng, the “Harbinger of Disaster” of the Wei family in Great Zhou. Despised by his biological father and framed by his stepmother since childhood, he is confined to a side courtyard for ten years. He bides his time and emerges through his self-created Slender Gold Script. After killing a vicious servant who insulted his master in a fit of rage, he shakes the capital under the name “Fierce Son” and earns the admiration of former Grand Secretary Feng Yan, becoming his disciple. From then on, Wei Niesheng uses the rules of etiquette to outmaneuver his opponents, breaks free from the Wei family's constraints, and successfully joins another branch of the family, separates from the clan, and establishes his own household. At the apprenticeship banquet, he outshines his legitimate elder brother; in court debates, he verbally spars with powerful nobles; and in his autumn imperial examination essay, he directly criticizes the vassal princes' faults. Step by step, he transforms from a bastard despised by everyone into a talented man admired by the emperor.
