The Divine Calculation of the Tang Dynasty: from Translating Books to Determining the Universe

At the beginning of the 21st century, Lin Yan, a graduate student in Tang history, accidentally traveled through time while staying up late to catch up on his thesis. His soul traveled to a cowardly and boastful cannon fodder fortune teller in the West City of Chang'an in the seventh year of Zhenguan. Fortunately, he was bound to the Tang Dynasty's divine arithmetic system. From then on, he began his legendary journey of seeking good fortune, avoiding evil, and determining the destiny of the world in the chaotic times of the Tang Dynasty. At the beginning, he was provoked by a bully. Lin Yan relied on the blessing of hexagrams from the system's novice gift pack, combined with his familiarity with the history of the early Tang Dynasty, to accurately point out the hidden illness of the bully's mother, narrowly resolved the fatal crisis, completed the novice's mission, and earned his reputation as the "divine fortune teller" in one battle. System tasks guide the way forward, and historical trends control the direction. As a commoner, Lin Yan relies on his divine calculation skills to resolve life and death crises, exposes conspiracies, intervenes in key historical nodes, assists Li Zhi in ascending the throne, checks and balances powerful ministers, and protects the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Not only did he save his own life and the lives of those around him, he also counterattacked from an abandoned piece on the chessboard to become a chess player who controlled his own destiny and influenced the direction of the Tang Dynasty. He eventually became the number one calculator of the Tang Dynasty who will go down in history, writing a legendary chapter of the collision between a time traveler and the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
