Luo Qiu Chi (Fan Shi Qi) is a talented young poet – a poor scholar from a troubled background who is dreaming of a life full of art and writing.
He is forced to leave his family home and hide his true identity in order to pursue his poetry dreams.
Fortunately, he one day meets a female scholar named Wen Ren Jun (Xiao Yu Lu). She decides to help him as he attempts to pass the tough entrance test for the prestigious Zhu Xiu Academy.
