In the final years of the Kaiyuan era, modern engineer Yang Shu transmigrates into the body of a canal chief from a once-prosperous family, now feverish and on the brink of death. Watching disaster victims wail beside a breached embankment, he raises a shovel in the pouring rain and pries with all his might, opening the way to the final glorious chapter of the High Tang.
From the drainage tunnels of Chang'an during the Twelve Hours of Chang'an to the star-shaped forts and beacon towers in the deserts of Longyou; from grain carts suspended over the Shu Road by iron chains to the thunderous explosions that shake the skies above Tong Pass, Yang Shu uses twenty-first-century engineering know-how to carve out a path between An Lushan's iron cavalry and Yang Guozhong's deadly schemes.
Qiyue, the Tang dynasty I want to show you should never have ended the way the historians wrote it!
