Who Mistook the Top Scholar for a Pedant

Who Mistook the Top Scholar for a Pedant Plot:

Lin Yan, a poor scholar from a humble background, was often seen as a pedant who only studied hard, but he was actually a newly appointed top scholar hiding his identity and mastering unique skills of a hundred sages. At a poetry gathering of a noble family, he was publicly called a "useless pedant" by a dandy for not knowing how to flatter the powerful, and even got disqualified. When the dandy provoked him publicly, a crisis suddenly occurred. Lin Yan had to take action, resolving the crisis with his special skills, exposing his identity as the top scholar in public, shocking everyone there and shattering the stereotype of him as a "pedant".
