Immortal and Undying: I Am a Thorn in History's Side

A historical novel, with no immortal cultivation.

A secret has been passed down among emperors throughout the ages: somewhere in this world lives an immortal. A single sip of his blood can grant a hundred years of life. Those who eat his flesh... die.

A modern man named He Zong, later renamed Qi He, transmigrates to a small tribe in the era of Yao, Shun, and Yu, where he gains immortality.

He travels the world, searching for wheat in Central Asia and corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes in South America, all while worrying about the future of the Chinese people.

The secret of immortality spreads among the nobles of the world. To escape their insatiable greed, he has no choice but to live in seclusion.

He lives through the ancient Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties; the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods; the Qin and Han dynasties and the Three Kingdoms; the Jin, Sui, and Tang dynasties; the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms; the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties; and from the Republic of China to the modern day.

He has ruled tribal clans, witnessed the rise and fall of the Xia, Shang, and Zhou, debated the great thinkers of the Hundred Schools of Thought, advised Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of Han, resisted foreign invaders, and saved ordinary people. He has been a great landlord and a member of an eminent family, taken the civil service exams, encouraged peasant uprisings, personally toppled dynasties, fought for the proletariat, and lived as both a farmer and a factory worker. He has tried a hundred different lives.

My name is Qi He. I have witnessed the beginnings of great dynasties and wandered through the long river of history.

When schemes fall short, make up for it with force.
