Xiao Xuan, a PhD candidate in Chinese language from a top-tier 985 university, unexpectedly finds himself transported to the Great Liang Dynasty after failing to secure employment. He inhabits the body of an eponymous eighteen-year-old youth. Armed with modern knowledge, he swiftly becomes a local prodigy and, through a series of twists, ends up as the tutor to Bai Lan, the young master of the Bai family. However, this young master is actually a woman disguised as a man—uninterested in books yet utterly obsessed with the novels Xiao Xuan writes! On the eve of the imperial examinations, Bai Lan stays up all night binge-reading updates of “The Plum Blossom in the Jade Vase.” During the exam, she inadvertently writes the novel's plot into her answer sheet, drawing the attention of the Mingjing Bureau—the imperial secret police—toward the Bai family... Even more absurdly, after the Empress reads the exam paper, she summons Bai Lan in the dead of night demanding the next installment!
