Young Lu Li arrives in a parallel world where traditional culture has suffered a break in its transmission. Punished with a public self-criticism for writing a love letter, he astonishes the entire school with a magnificent piece of classical prose and poetry. Drawing on his vast knowledge of classical Chinese literature stored in his mind, he begins to make a name for himself in the literary world and achieves astonishing results in the college entrance examination. After traveling far and wide, he takes the stage at a poetry gathering, confronting doubts and criticism from the outside world. With his words, he ignites the passion in young hearts, remains true to his original aspiration to serve his country, and shoulders the ideal of carrying on and promoting the Eastern literary tradition.
