A Dream of Splendor: A Storyteller in Bianjing, Zhao Pan'er Serves the Tea

After transmigrating to the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhu Tong became a storyteller at the Zhao family's teahouse.

At first, all he wanted was to lie flat and enjoy a leisurely life in Qiantang.

Then one day, a man named Ouyang Xu arrived outside the teahouse amid the clamor of gongs and drums.

"Zhao Pan'er, I've passed the palace exam and placed third, but the Imperial Consort has arranged a marriage for me..."

Zhao Pan'er flew into a rage and grabbed Zhu Tong, who was in the middle of telling a story. "Fine! You won't marry me? Then I'll marry him today!"

Before he knew it, Zhu Tong was married to Zhao Pan'er.

From then on, he headed north to Bianjing and began building his enterprise in the Great Song.

Kou Zhun: "I'm Kou Laoxi, and there's no one I respect... except Zhu Tong!"

Fan Zhongyan: "With Yanran yet unconquered, I cannot return. But if Zhu Tong is willing to lend a hand..."

Bao Zheng: "Our Mr. Zhu is the smartest man in the Great Song!"

Su Shi: "The young master belongs in a painting, yet I alone know this place. Where the waters end and the sky's edge begins, he surely comes from beyond the mortal world!"

The emperor: "What? You conquered all sixteen prefectures of Yanyun? ..."
