Synopsis

[Decisive and ruthless] [Self-interested] [Not mindless wish fulfillment]

During the Tianbao era, under the surface of the Tang dynasty’s golden age, dangerous undercurrents were stirring.

Li Yan, a transmigrator, became the lowest-ranking squad leader in a garrison in the bitterly cold land of Longyou.

He had no desire to be loyal to his sovereign or serve his country. He only wanted to survive in this dog-eat-dog world, and to live well.

He opened the door to advancement by exploiting a supervising eunuch’s greed, then carefully chose sides amid the border generals’ power struggles;

He took control of a garrison fort, then built up his own sphere of influence, quietly accumulating strength;

From the golden age of Tianbao to the An Lushan Rebellion... he crawled out of mountains of corpses, rising step by step over the bodies of his former comrades.

Tang Dynasty Novels Are So Awful, All the Same Stories About Early Tang and Zhenguan

The only book I can think of is "Tang Plotting the World", which is set in Emperor Gaozong’s era. There isn’t another one after that. After all, if the story goes a little further forward in time, Li Bai, Du Fu, Du Mu, Bai Juyi, and Li Shangyin are all born, and it gets harder to show off with poetry. Even this topic of mine has been derailed.
