He transmigrates into history at the turning point of the Song-Liao Battle of Chanyuan, then carves out a path to advancement with an ambitious career plan.
A spy sent to assassinate a Liao official, a negotiator, a desperate defender of a besieged city, a court official caught in factional strife, a school headmaster, a wealthy merchant, a supervisor overseeing river works, a recluse who has retired from the world, even a renowned thinker who founds a school of his own and stands apart from the rest...
To the Song emperor, he is a special envoy who never fails. To the Khitan emperor, he is a formidable rival who inspires both love and hate. To the ruler of Western Xia, he is a celestial employee worth repeatedly trying to hire with a fortune.
Zhang Hao can only spread his hands and say, “I’m just trying to get by at work. How did I become this legendary figure you all make me out to be?”
Not every transmigration story has to start with a face-to-face showdown, but every kind of life experience is worth savoring.
Regretting the past, sighing over the present, Zhang Hao writes furiously: “Mountains and rivers are all part of life’s journey. My fate is mine to shape, not Heaven’s!”
