Synopsis

A serious historical novel featuring the imperial examinations, officialdom, a mix of classical and vernacular Chinese, a slow pace, political intrigue, highly intelligent characters, and military campaigns.

This novel contains extensive classical Chinese, poetry, and archaic language. If that is not to your taste, please do not read it.

Huang Zhongsi, a modern young man preparing for the civil service exams, transmigrates to a parallel world during the reign of Emperor Shenzong of the Northern Song. He uses his modern knowledge and a search System to pursue fame and office.

He moves between the reformist and conservative factions, with only one goal in mind: to change the future.

He earns top marks in all three imperial examinations, cracks a salt-smuggling case, and presents a plan for disaster relief. His career begins as the Hebei Circuit Intendant.

He builds roads and bridges, develops commerce, and trains a new army.

As the top scholar in the civil examinations, he leads the Zhenwu Army to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.

He conquers Western Xia and reclaims the old territories of the Han and Tang dynasties.
