The Tang Dynasty's Divine Strategist: From Transmigrating into a Book to Shaping the Realm

Lin Yan, a graduate student researching early Tang history in the early twenty-first century, accidentally transmigrated while staying up late to finish his thesis. He found himself in the body of a timid, boastful fortune-teller destined to be a nobody in Chang'an's Western Market in the seventh year of Zhenguan. As luck would have it, he also bound himself to the Great Tang Fortune-Telling System, beginning a legendary journey through the tumult of the prosperous Tang era, avoiding disaster and shaping the fate of the empire.

From the start, a local bully came looking for trouble. With the divination skills from the System's beginner's gift pack and his knowledge of early Tang history, Lin Yan accurately identified the bully's mother's hidden illness, narrowly escaped a fatal crisis, completed his first mission, and made a name for himself as a "master fortune-teller."

The System's missions showed him the way, while his grasp of history kept him on course. Though he was only a commoner, Lin Yan used his gift for divination to survive one deadly crisis after another, expose conspiracy after conspiracy, and intervene at pivotal moments in history. He helped Li Zhi ascend the throne, kept powerful ministers in check, and protected the prosperous Tang. Not only did he save himself and those around him, he also rose from a discarded pawn to the player in control of his own destiny, influencing the course of the empire. In the end, he became the greatest fortune-teller in Tang history, leaving behind a legendary tale of a transmigrator's encounter with the prosperous Tang.
