The First Celebrity of the Song Dynasty
by Gu Sanqian
About This Novel
In the third year of Xuanhe, the Song Dynasty was blooming with flowers, but it was already standing on the edge of the cliff. This year, Cai Jing was still whitewashing peace, Song Huizong was still obsessed with calligraphy and painting, while the Jin people in the north had sharpened their butcher knives, and the Xixia cavalry were knocking at the gate. The time traveler Gu Sui'an plunged headlong into this hellish beginning. Someone asked him: "You know how to refine cement, make gunpowder, refine penicillin, and even predict the fate of the country. Are you a god or a monster?" Gu Sui'an pointed to his head and smiled lightly: "I am not a god, I just have a 'manual' about this world in my hand." He didn't do hard work, he only worked on the brain: he told the craftsmen the principles, and blast furnaces were erected in Dahuang City, and molten steel flowed out; he told the medical officers the formula, and penicillin became a life-saving medicine that even the Lord of Hell could not take away; he told the generals the tactics, and the artillery of the Shenji Battalion taught the Xixia Iron Kites to re-live their lives. Even though his hands were bloody, he was still dressed in white, swinging a folding fan, wandering around the Fanlou Painted Boat in Bianjing, chatting and laughing with Master Li, and was respected by the world as "the first celebrity of the Song Dynasty". Gu Sui'an: "I came to the Song Dynasty not to be the emperor, but to give the Song Dynasty a backbone made of steel."
