Archaeologist Li Jing transmigrates into the body of a crown prince who has been deposed and exiled. From the start, he is trapped in a desperate situation with almost no chance of survival.
Drawing on his historical insight and expertise in cultural relics, he gets ahead of the future God of War, secures a foothold in Lingnan through cunning, and farms his way to technological advancement with knowledge far beyond his era. He vows to fight his way back to the capital and claim the throne.
Yet when he follows the directions of an ancient star map into the ruins beneath the South China Sea, he uncovers a shocking secret buried beneath the dust of history:
The Imperial Seal is not a symbol of power, but a key that suppresses the “dragon veins”!
The so-called dragon veins are no mere superstition about feng shui. They are vast terrestrial arteries capable of bringing about dynastic rises and falls and the succession of civilizations.
The cycles of war and famine that come once every three hundred years are only the aftershocks of these veins falling out of balance.
From then on, Li Jing’s journey is about more than dynastic ambition.
Standing on the shores of the South China Sea, he gazes across thousands of miles of land, intent on solving the ultimate mystery that sustains the destiny of all of Huaxia.
He will use these vast lands as a chessboard and play a match against the cycle of fate!
Will he become the new keeper of secrets and perpetuate a thousand-year cycle, or shatter the shackles and forge an unprecedented path to survival for the people of Huaxia?
The history passed down through the ages will be rewritten from this moment on.
