This Great Tang Is No Place for Decorum: The Martial World of Great Tang

Transmigrating into the Zhenguan era as a poor young man, Shi Yan falls into deep thought. Where’s the promised glory of the Tang dynasty? Why are the foreign merchants haggling in Chang’an’s Western Market using lion’s-roar kung fu, and the scholars at the Imperial Academy settling arguments with displays of inner power?

And the strangest part is:

The venerable Wei Zheng roasts Emperor Taizong so fiercely in court that the emperor has to cover his ears. It’s not because he’s made of iron, but because of his family’s secret “Truth-Telling Curse.” Anyone who talks back is publicly humiliated on the spot, then spends the next three nights being cursed out in their dreams.

Beneath Li Shimin’s imperial robes is a secret manual called The Art of Dragon and Phoenix Harmony. He can only practice when Empress Zhangsun brings him tea and meals. If she visits her family for three days, he goes into cultivation deviation in the Taiji Palace and chops his throne into kindling.

Cheng Yaojin’s Three Axes are unstoppable because every move comes with an “area-wide taunt” buff. His enemies laugh and laugh until they’re chopped into reaction images…

Shi Yan: “Where’s the history textbook I was promised? This high-martial-arts Tang dynasty is even more ridiculous than a client’s suggestions!”

“What? If you cultivate to the highest level, you can become an immortal in the flesh?”

“Just so we’re clear, can I slack off after becoming an immortal? If not, count me out.”

Watch as a modern office drone survives in a high-martial-arts Tang dynasty and becomes a top-tier star by taking a thoroughly unconventional path, while twisting history into an even more outrageous shape!
