He transmigrates to the Great Song Dynasty with just a bowl from the start, plus two brothers he can trust with his life. Wait, why does this plot sound so familiar?
His soul transmigrates into the body of a farmer's son, and his circumstances are disastrous from the start. He plans to rise to wealth and power by passing the imperial examinations and entering government service.
But before his business venture can get off the ground, he's abducted and forced to become a live-in son-in-law?
He thought life would go smoothly, but the rivalries between powerful clans leave him oppressed and shut out of officialdom.
Standing before Chang'an's most luxurious tavern, Ning Qi recites a poem: “When autumn comes on the eighth day of the ninth month, my blossoms bloom and all others die; my fragrance sweeps through Chang'an, and the whole city wears golden armor!”
His words shock the world, but also bring the powerful clans' assassins after him.
Before the Clearwind Stronghold, Ning Qi cries out, “Are kings, nobles, generals, and ministers born to their stations?”
From then on, Ning Qi begins an impassioned campaign to expand his territory!
Crush the powerful clans, reclaim lost lands, fight the rival kingdoms. My fate is mine to command, not Heaven's!
Why become a live-in son-in-law? I'll just start a rebellion!
