The Scholar Who Outshines All Saints! You Call This Sour Scholar?

Lin Yi transmigrates into the Great Yan Dynasty, where literature reigns supreme, and becomes a scapegoat for stealing forbidden arts. Using his past-life poetry to awaken his talent, he is aided by Fang Qingxue to clear his name. His masterpiece shocks the four directions, attracting competition from three academies before he joins the Pingzhou Academy. There, he slaps faces at provocateurs, dispels a crisis of forbidden arts, and outwits the national academy's Zhong Zizheng. In the imperial examination, he uncovers court conspiracies, leverages the emperor to punish traitors, becomes the top scholar, and begins his journey of assisting the emperor and reforming literature.
