A Dream of Sweet Wine in the Next Life

Reborn + alternate history + steadily satisfying progression + one heroine + mystery + martial arts: Just as I was looking forward to a promotion and ready to reach the pinnacle of my career, I was repeatedly tormented by an endlessly looping nightmare that dragged me into the abyss of death. After dying countless times in my dreams, I devised a careful plan, but in the end, I still couldn't escape death. With my memories intact, I was reborn in the Great Liang Empire. Though I was now starting from a much higher position and no longer had to scrape by, struggling for a promotion and a raise, I still carried untapped potential and unsolved mysteries. I wanted to do as I pleased, but was told I had to keep my head down as danger approached once more. I would grow stronger as I searched, savor fine wines, stumble into the Imperial Secretariat, solve mysteries, and meet kindred spirits. My name would soon be known far and wide, but had I made enemies without realizing it? Aged vintage wine, a marvel of the age; the art of tea, helping me find answers. I pierced the ancestral orifice and returned from the dead, yet the mastermind remained hidden amid the undercurrents. Across Northern Hao, Great Liang, the Western Yi, and the Later Meng, I faced the Four Sages and made a name for myself. I traveled the world, searching everywhere for clues. When my vitality finally flourished, the clouds parted and the truth emerged, but that person had been dead for a long time! The news spread like wildfire, and conspiracy and fate converged. Should I hide away to protect myself? Or launch a desperate strike? I will uncover the truth myself!
