Lin Moxuan, a young man from the modern era, takes a tumble and lands in the ninth year of the Wude era in the Great Tang. The Xuanwu Gate Incident is just around the corner. Chang’an is rife with undercurrents, and the empire is approaching a heart-stopping crossroads in its destiny. Penniless and barely able to speak the language, Lin Moxuan has nothing but a head full of historical trivia and modern knowledge.
Just as he’s about to become the most quickly starved unfortunate in transmigration history, he runs into a group of unusually imposing “hunters.” Their leader is a dashing young man with a piercing gaze, named none other than Li Shimin!
And so Lin Moxuan’s struggle to survive in the Tang dynasty takes a very different turn:
While others scheme for power, he streamlines operations at the Prince of Qin’s residence. While others go to war, he invents fried locusts as a snack back at the rear. While others worry about matters of state, he’s busy grilling skewers and swapping tall tales with Cheng Yaojin, pitting his wits against Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, and even trying to win the heart of a gentle, charming maid at the prince’s residence...
He’d only wanted to stay alive in a chaotic age and enjoy a comfortable life of wealth and leisure. But his boss, Li Shimin, offers him too much and trusts him far too much! From offering advice on the Xuanwu Gate Incident, to taking part in the Weishui Alliance, to helping govern the country during the Reign of Zhenguan... Lin Moxuan realizes that this little butterfly of his may be flapping its wings to change history.
