Cheng Yuan, a romantic professor at the University of Cambridge, crashed into the sea in his boat, and when he opened his eyes, he fell into the excrement bucket of the Datang Mine! He became a poor scholar who was beaten to a low status because he took one more look at the concubine of the Minister of Industry. He wore iron shackles on his feet and scooped out feces, and his skin and flesh were torn apart by the whip.
In a desperate situation, the saltpeter powder was poured into the rancid bucket, and the mine was frozen overnight! The supervisor knelt on the ground and shouted "Mountain God, spare my life". He took the opportunity to break the brittle shackles and escaped by stepping on the supervisor's rotten teeth.
He broke into Chang'an City with the steamed bun stuffed secretly by the hot cook Lin Xiuer. Chemical formulas are a cornucopia—saltpeter turns into ice crystals, and lychees fetch sky-high prices! The laws of physics become armor—levers overturn assassins, pulleys to hang enemies! The sketch in one hand seduce the cool and elegant Queen Wan'er (enemy's niece?), And the mechanical drawings alarm Zhang Xuan, the headmaster of Bingshan (a warning to cut off his nails?). Outsmart the insidious servant Wang Xian (the master of concubines), deal with the snake-scorpion official Su Meier (hiding a knife in her smile), and tame the fierce horse Turkic princess Tuoba Yue (assassination turns into a chase).
From the side of the golden juice car to the golden palace, the formula breaks the conspiracy and the romance controls the world. Watch how a chemistry professor exchanges knowledge for beauty, trades science for wealth, and writes the wildest counterattack legend in the prosperous Tang Dynasty - knowledge is power, and romance is also strength!
