Lin Daqi, a modern history enthusiast, accidentally transmigrated to the Tang dynasty and took over the body of a destitute scholar who had been orphaned in childhood. Newly arrived in this unfamiliar world, he made a living selling novelties. His talent and hard work eventually won him a government post, but his reforms threatened the interests of the powerful. Framed by Eunuch Zhang, Li Linfu, and others, he was forced to flee in disgrace.
Wandering overseas, Lin Daqi made a life for himself in unfamiliar lands. He met Tuoba Xue, a princess of an ethnic minority, and Jiang Caiwei, the daughter of a pirate, among others. With his modern knowledge, he established the Kingdom of Damin and worked tirelessly to strengthen it.
By then, the Tang dynasty had suffered the An Lushan Rebellion and was beset by internal and external crises, leaving its people destitute. Driven by lofty ambitions, Lin Daqi marched on the Tang dynasty under the banner of “purging the court of evil influences and saving the people.” Using clever strategies and aided by the women around him and his friend Li Siye, he fought for years before finally taking Chang’an.
After assuming control of the Tang dynasty, Lin Daqi combined the strengths of both nations and introduced new policies. The women who had stood by him each put their talents to use, helping him usher in a new era in which the people lived in peace and the nation prospered. Together, they wrote a legendary chapter of history full of twists and turns.
