A car accident caused Tang Ning to transmigrate unexpectedly to the parallel world of the Southern Tang kingdom.
In this timeline, there was no Song dynasty. Only Southern Tang, Northern Zhou, and the Khitan stood locked in a struggle for supremacy.
War raged without end. The court was corrupt, Han families had fallen apart, and the realm was fractured.
So Tang Ning resolved to change things.
Here, Tang Ning cultivated sweet potatoes and corn, winning the love of the people.
Here, Tang Ning founded a new school of learning and established the sciences.
Here, Tang Ning was the preeminent scholar of his age, revered by countless students.
Here, Tang Ning could compose brilliant verse at a moment’s notice, mastering poetry, lyrics, songs, and rhapsodies alike. The Southern Tang emperor considered him the greatest genius under heaven.
Here, Tang Ning turned the tide when all seemed lost, devised strategies from behind the scenes, and secured victory thousands of miles away.
Here, Tang Ning’s deeds were celebrated throughout the land.
He was the god of this age!
In this era of competing mediocrity, everyone hoped Tang Ning would become ruler of all under heaven.
But Tang Ning could only say one thing:
I don’t want to be emperor!
