Back in the Tang Dynasty as a Dad

Office drone Chen Fan transmigrates into the body of an impoverished aristocrat, starting out three thousand strings of cash in debt but armed with max-level modern-day cheats. He brews strong liquor, opens hot pot restaurants, plagiarizes poetry, issues bonds, takes on Li Linfu, kicks Yang Guozhong to the curb, and crushes An Lushan long before his time. Princess Li Qingshuang of Changle commands an underground intelligence network. By day, she's an icy beauty; by night, she's the queen of the black market. She and Chen Fan trade barbs as partners until they become inseparable through life and death. One works in the open, the other in the shadows. With Excel, gunpowder, and steam engines, they usher the prosperous Tang into the industrial age.

At a literary gathering in Qujiang, his poems outshine Li Bai; on Zhuque Avenue, he rakes in money by the day. On a snowy night at Tong Pass, he carries her for five miles; in the alleys of Luoyang, he takes the enemy general's head amid an army of ten thousand. In the end, Chen Fan refuses the throne and shows the young emperor a map of the world: “Look, this is the Tang Empire without sunset that I conquered for you!” Meanwhile, Princess Changle stands at the bow of the first steamship: “The world is yours. You’re mine.” A full lineup of cathartic payoffs, political intrigue, war, industry, and a sweet, fiery couple: the excitement never lets up!
