I Transmigrated to Yue and Made Xi Shi Laugh

Fresh from mocking a Xi Shi figurine at a museum, modern office worker Lin Yue tumbles into Mount Kuaiji in 494 BCE. From the start, he runs into Goujian enduring hardship to strengthen his resolve. Using modern first-aid knowledge, he saves the King of Yue after he overdoes his gallbladder-tasting ritual, only to be forcibly recruited as a “Qi state sorcerer.”

Ordered to find a beauty, he mistakes Xi Shi, washing clothes by the stream, for a “scammer.” He trades sunscreen for half her wheat cake, uses his phone’s flashlight as a “glowing treasure mirror,” and teaches the village girls aerobics to pass the time. He only meant to laze around and watch history unfold, but the “modern etiquette” he casually teaches Xi Shi becomes her lifeline after she enters the palace, while the “escape route map of the King of Wu’s palace” he draws turns out to be key to Yue’s restoration.

When playful teasing turns into love and the momentum of history collides with the butterfly effect, Lin Yue realizes that winning Xi Shi’s heart is easy. Keeping her alive with him in a world torn by war, while getting the Spring and Autumn hegemons to play a minor role, seems a little harder. This is a lighthearted story that jokes around in the midst of serious history and ultimately brings all four great beauties home.
