The story takes place in a school called Zhuxiu Academy. Zhuxiu Academy was a learning institution established in the capital at that time to train young poets. The top three in the imperial examination every year were from Zhuxiu, which made many students yearn for it. This year, in order to select talents from the people and revitalize the poetry culture of the dynasty, Zhuxiu Academy held a "Qilin Poetry Examination", and the one with the best poem was selected as the "Qilin Champion", who could enter Zhuxiu Academy to study. Luo Qiuchi, a poor student, was talented and took the imperial examination at the age of ten. After failing the exam, he was accidentally hunted down and hid in Dongyi Mountain to become a bandit. Many years later, Luo Qiuchi accidentally met Wen Renjun, a female student from Zhuxiu Academy. Later, he accidentally got the clue of the murderer who hunted him that year, so he came to the academy to study as the "Qilin Champion", determined to find the murderer, and take the imperial examination again to become the champion. While Luo Qiuchi started a tortuous and romantic love with Wen Renjun, he secretly investigated the truth of the year and found that the murderer was related to Wen Renjun's father, which put him in a dilemma. Luo Qiuchi's identity as a bandit almost made him miss the qualification to take the imperial examination. After Luo Qiuchi entered school, he had a disagreement with Fu Yuanzhi, who ranked first in the academy, on the style of poetry. In the end, Luo Qiuchi defeated Fu Yuanzhi in a poetry competition and led his classmates to a simple style of poetry. After the subsequent jungle danger, the real and fake calligraphy and paintings at the birthday banquet, and the Lantern Festival riddle competition, Luo Qiuchi grew up with the students of the academy. In the "Prayer for Rain Poetry Competition", Luo Qiuchi won the first prize. In the academic exchanges between the Wukui delegation and the students of Zhuxiu, Luo Qiuchi led the students to win the polo competition and the poetry competition, and the literary and artistic styles blossomed, adding luster to the country. In the end, Luo Qiuchi participated in the imperial examination, won the first place in the high school, and benefited the people.
