“So Zhu Yuanzhang is sentimental, and if we find someone to impersonate Empress Ma, pull a flatbread out of her robe, and call him Chongba, we'll earn his favor?”
“Are you sure Li Shimin is all show and his strength depends on the terrain, so we'd definitely beat him if we fought him at Xuanwu Gate?”
“Was Xiang Yu really a bold man who admired heroes? So if I just say I have grand ambitions at the Feast at Hongmen, and that I want to be King of Guanzhong, the big guy will let me live?”
Chu Xuan transmigrates into the body of a corrupt official during Zhu Yuanzhang's reign and is arrested by the Jinyiwei from the start. He thinks he's about to be executed, but it turns out this is a dynasty-themed game in a parallel world.
People in this parallel world can awaken all kinds of professions, including positive ones such as strategists, civil officials, and generals, as well as fallen ones such as spies and rebels.
People of every profession can enter game scenarios set in ancient dynasties. Complete specific historical missions, and they can earn rewards.
But Chu Xuan discovers that China's history has been lost in this world, and he is the only person on Earth who knows it.
So Chu Xuan uses his informational advantage and the unique nature of his profession to thoroughly outwit his enemies. He clears the game with ease, earns rewards, and reaches the pinnacle of success in the real world.
But as time passes, he suddenly realizes that this world is not as simple as he thought.
China's history has not been lost. It has been concealed by a human force, and a power bent on destroying the world is awakening. His transmigration also has a reason behind it, because his profession is one of a kind.
