Chen Yun, a modern graduate student in history, transmigrates into a dying refugee in the chaotic era of Southern Qi. With his life hanging in the balance, he dares to impersonate the most prestigious clan in the land: the Wang clan of Langya.
Armed with meticulous knowledge of historical details and learning far beyond his time, he recites long-lost poems, sees through the undercurrents at court, and carries himself with more refinement than the true scholars. Step by step, he rises from an obscure “fraud” to the brightest star in Jiankang, acclaimed by all as “the foremost young gentleman of Langya.”
Yet the pinnacle of glory is also the edge of a perilous abyss. True members of the Wang clan, a suspicious emperor in power, and old enemies who once fought him for their lives: countless eyes begin scrutinizing his perfect disguise.
In this desperate gamble with his life at stake, can Chen Yun use his knowledge and wit to turn a false identity into real power of his own before his lies collapse?
It's so crazy and exciting, um, the male protagonist later calls himself the emperor.
Although the plot is not as elaborate as The Surname Langya, it is still top-notch in pace.
Very pretty! The male protagonist is brave and resourceful! Good
