I Write Novels in Great Ming

The story takes place in the twenty-first year of the Jiajing reign of the Ming Dynasty, an era of political upheaval, rigid social classes, and widespread Daoism. The Jiajing Emperor is obsessed with Daoist cultivation and alchemy, seeking immortality, and a mysterious religious atmosphere pervades the entire court. At this time, powerful ministers meddle in government at home, while border threats plague the country from abroad, and social tensions are increasingly apparent. In an age when “all trades are lowly, and only scholars are esteemed,” a modern middle-aged pharmaceutical sales representative accidentally transmigrates while saving someone. This book has no System and no golden finger. An ordinary man finds himself in the body of Lin Wenxian, a ten-year-old boy who nearly drowned. His journey of personal growth leads him to contend with powerful ministers, eliminate treacherous officials, repel Japanese pirates, and join forces with his son to groom a new emperor and implement reforms, beginning an epic Ming Dynasty legend.
