My Days Scraping By in the Great Qian Dynasty

[Mythology + Cautious Protagonist + Faux Villain]

In an age when immortals and Buddhas revealed themselves to the world, the Qian and Li dynasties stood in opposition across the north and south.

The Great Qian dynasty had endured for nearly four hundred years.

Warriors, sword immortals, great Confucian scholars, adepts, shamans, and countless other talents filled the land.

But Emperor Taiwu favored Taoism over Buddhism and was obsessed with immortality, leaving the crown prince to govern for long stretches. To the south, Great Li waited for a chance to launch a northern campaign; to the north, the Rouran court of the steppe raided the border. Within the realm, the Xianbei imperial clan and Han aristocratic families were in constant conflict, while rebellions broke out in the provinces from time to time.

Under these circumstances, undercurrents surged throughout the court and the land.

Yan Que, a modern novice geomancer, stumbled upon something mysterious while exploring a tomb on Mount Taiyi, plunging headlong into the tides of a chaotic age.
