Carefree Lands

In the twenty-second year of Yongle, Emperor Chengzu of Ming, Zhu Di, died of illness on his way back to the capital from a northern campaign. To prevent Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui from seizing the opportunity to rebel, Duke of Ying Zhang Fu and grand secretaries Yang Rong secretly brought Zhu Gaochi to the throne, making him Emperor Renzong of Ming. That same year, a sales accountant at a medium-sized company was pushed off Mount Tai in a plot against him while sightseeing, and ended up in the world of the Great Ming. There, he encountered extraordinary people, did extraordinary things, weathered perilous adventures, and mastered martial arts. He had only wanted to live a quiet life, but then one night the stars suddenly changed. “Heaven's mandate is spent!” Emperor Renzong died, and Emperor Xuanzong ascended the throne. Yang Zheng was swept into the surging currents of history. From then on, he crushed the Maitreya Sect, fought Prince of Han Zhu Gaoxu, put down the Prince of Han's rebellion, and clashed fiercely with Prince of Zhao Zhu Gaosui. He was present at one major event after another. But who knew that it had all been arranged long ago? Was this a blessing, or did a vast, unforeseen conspiracy lurk behind it all?
