Lin Dengwan transmigrated to Lungmen in the year 1073.
At the time, under Wei Yenwu's rule, Lungmen couldn't exactly be called prosperous, but it was certainly flourishing in criminal activity.
Crime, hunger, and death were commonplace in this city, a microcosm of the land of Terra.
Lin Dengwan was an ordinary person. In Lungmen, just as he'd been a wage worker in his previous life, all he could do in this life was work for a living.
But when he went hungry, when he witnessed the cries of children in the slums, when he buried an old man who had frozen to death with his own hands, when he hanged the capitalist who oppressed the workers, and when the little girl who had given him candy was taken away, destined to become a tyrant, he felt that he ought to do something in this world.
To do the most romantic thing in human history, on a global scale.
P.S. The protagonist is both cynical and a bit of a rascal. I can't say this is a red-themed novel, since I've only dabbled in red ideology, but it is idealistic. Neither left nor right, or perhaps both left and right, since those distinctions are hard to pin down anyway. Put simply, it's the story of an ordinary person trying to save Talulah and bring a little spark of hope to this harsh land. This is a slow-burn story, so please don't rush me.
