Patriotic power fantasy, no romance!
Zhang Qingxuan, the orthodox heir to Taoism, wakes up in a parallel world.
Here, Chinese civilization has suffered a catastrophic break in its legacy. Traditional Chinese medicine is dismissed as witchcraft, feng shui as superstition, and the treasures of the ancestors as junk!
Watching a bunch of foreigners swagger around, Zhang Qingxuan feels his blood pressure shoot up. How can he put up with this?
Luckily, the Civilization Revival System arrives just in time: [Mission: Build a university and restore the glory of Chinese civilization!]
And so, the toughest university president in history makes his debut!
Other universities teach math, physics, and chemistry. His academy offers classes in the occult:
The Traditional Chinese Medicine Department uses talisman water and acupuncture to trounce Western medicine, even against terminal illnesses. The Martial Arts Department teaches authentic ancient kung fu to take down champion fighters. The Intangible Cultural Heritage Department can even embroider flowers into cutting-edge technology!
At first, the whole internet mocks him: “A scam university! A junkyard!”
But later...
International medical authorities beg to enroll, top financial magnates weep as they donate money, and the highest levels of government treat him like a national treasure.
When Zhang Qingxuan calmly unveils the Yongle Encyclopedia and designs for aerospace fighters, the whole world erupts!
Foreigners everywhere: “Coach, we want to learn Chinese kung fu! No, we want to become Chinese!”
Zhang Qingxuan: “Take it easy. Get in line and pay your tuition. Our mission is to make Chinese civilization great again!”
(A feel-good tale of conquering the world with the wisdom of the ancestors!)
