Zhu Baoyu, a financial whiz, dies suddenly and transmigrates into the son of a Suzhou merchant in the fifth year of Hongwu!
At his first-birthday ceremony, he clutches an abacus and is scorned as “the lowborn son of a merchant”?
He knows the true meaning of keeping a low profile
At seven, he sells scented soap to amass wealth. At twelve, he improves the loom and gives all the credit to others.
Until his legitimate older brother steals his “steam engine” blueprints… Boom! The workshop blows apart!
After falling off a cliff, he stumbles into the hidden realm of Guigu Valley. An old man gives him the "Mystic Secrets" and an elixir that extends his life by two hundred years:
“This art must benefit all people. Misuse it, and you will perish!”
After leaving the valley, he meets the doctor Lin Wanqing. One line, “The moonlight shines before my bed,” sparks a reunion between two transmigrators!
From then on, gears turn quietly amid the turmoil of the Jingnan Campaign:
Fire lances burn down Baigou River, while messages encoded in gears manipulate the succession struggle!
But Neo-Confucian scholars condemn it as “sorcery.” In the imperial court
He uses steam power to lift a cauldron and prove the power of practical learning, while she uses a microscope to reveal the true cause of an epidemic!
The "Yongle Encyclopedia: Practical Learning Volume" makes its stunning debut, and Zheng He’s treasure ships return with star charts…
After achieving success, he turns down the post of Minister and retreats with his family to a hidden paradise in Guigu Valley.
Two hundred years later, Zhu Baoyu, his white hair turned black again, points at a giant bronze tree and laughs:
“When this tree bears fruit and iron birds take to the skies…
We’d already kept the Great Ming quietly on track for an Industrial Revolution!”
