Synopsis
Lin Jue (林决), a student at a vocational secondary school, scores only 23 points on a maths exam and is mocked as a hopeless underachiever. Then he becomes strangely addicted to reading and studying: a system-like power lets him absorb knowledge, and the more he studies, the more he wants to.
His sudden rise stuns teachers and classmates who had written him off. Top universities, Tsinghua and Peking among them, race to recruit him, and the story keeps teasing that the quiet student is a hidden master, the 'mysterious sweeping monk' of the title, whom nobody noticed until he outshone every genius around him.
The series is a wish-fulfilment underdog story in the 'golden finger' mould: a protagonist with a built-in advantage, snobbish teachers and rivals who are put in their place, and supportive parents. Over 228 episodes it follows him from a vocational school into a world of elite academics and research.

学渣染上读瘾,清北抢疯了 is a 228-episode Mandarin-language AI microdrama (listed as an AI drama, AI剧, with the genre tags brain-hole, system, comeback, urban and campus) released in 2026 on Hongguo (红果), ByteDance's free short-drama platform. A Hongguo fan listing site gives it a combined popularity score of 52.72 million, which it says is not a play count.
The drama is presented as animated 'comic drama' (漫剧) with AI-generated imagery: its poster and thumbnail are glossy digital illustrations of the young hero among old books. Uploaders who repost it on YouTube tag it #AI短剧 and #漫剧, and one calls its full-length cut an 'AI漫剧全集'. The studio, writers, voice cast and tools behind it are not named on the pages found.
On YouTube the full run is reposted as a 3 hour 45 minute cut by the channel 盛世短剧 (about 283,000 views) and as a 1 to 228 episode compilation by 九州快看, among other channels. Viewers note that the version of the story they watch stops abruptly and ask for a second season, and some say it is a rare AI drama that avoids constant quarrelling.
