The anime tells the story of Wang Yinglin, a gifted boy whose father, Wang Hui, personally taught him to read. Initially, Wang Yinglin found studying tedious and difficult, but Wang Hui shared inspiring tales of diligent young scholars, sparking his love for learning. By the age of nine, he had mastered the Six Classics. Wang Yinglin accompanied his father to a local toast ceremony, where he engaged with village elders in discussions on historical classics, deepening his appreciation for the vastness of scholarly pursuit. As he grew older, Wang Yinglin not only cherished reading but also enjoyed exploring mountains and rivers to nurture his mind and spirit. In the sunny spring of March, he and his younger brother visited Dongqian Lake, taking in the scenic beauty and seeking out the study of Chen He, a fourth-generation descendant of the Chen family in Zoumatang. Chen He's story of dedication to learning profoundly moved Wang Yinglin. Guided by his father, the book-loving youth realized that studying for an official position was not merely about personal gain—it could also provide an opportunity to assist the emperor and improve the lives of the people. Inspired, he set a goal to study for the benefit of the common folk. With renewed determination, he immersed himself in diligent study, resolved to achieve scholarly honors.
