“A few stories from before I became emperor at the end of the Eastern Jin Dynasty~”
No System, no golden finger. Transmigrated into the body of a low-ranking clerk among the refugees of the Eastern Jin, I’ll bring down the great clans with my wits!
During the Long’an era, the Jiangnan region is already rotten to the core: the aristocratic clans treat human lives as worthless, the Northern Army has become their tool, and refugees who flee south of the Yangtze are still used as cannon fodder. The bloodshed of Sun En’s rebellion is already beginning to spread across the river!
Duanmuyuan brings modern memories with him when his soul transmigrates. He has no heaven-defying cheat, only a mind full of stratagems and an idealistic heart. He aims to sweep away the great clans and give the people a true “Peach Blossom Spring”!
He takes the Xie family head-on with legal petitions, improves tools to settle the refugees, turns the Northern Army against its masters, and sets up a spectacular fire attack on the riverbank to crush the rebels...
There’s no overpowered hero steamrolling his foes, only a battle of wits planned one step at a time. Success doesn’t come easy; it’s a hard-fought struggle between ideals and reality!
When knowledge from beyond the age collides with centuries-old ills, can Duanmuyuan use a scholar’s stratagems to challenge the ironclad rules of the aristocracy and pierce the long night of the Eastern Jin with a glimmer of light, rising from a refugee clerk to the founding emperor?
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. I’ll rewrite this age of chaos!
Although the first chapter seems unremarkable (maybe it's because I'm a newbie, I can't understand the classical Chinese text at the beginning, it doesn't matter if I skip it, it's actually just a summary), but don't tell me, after reading the first volume, I feel like it's something 🍉 and praising Jiangwan Fire Attack by name.
[You taste it carefully] Let's start with a wave of self-promotion After writing it, I looked back and found that the first chapter was indeed too bland, the second chapter was just so-so, and the third chapter started to be interesting. I felt that the more I wrote, the more interesting it became. Maybe this is growth. I wonder if I should revise the first two chapters?
The scenes are grand and the details are exquisite. I have to say this is a rare masterpiece!
