Synopsis

Li Zheng, a university student studying history, finds himself in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, amid the chaos of the Five Barbarians and war raging everywhere. He has become a refugee on the verge of starving to death. Just as he despairs, he encounters a burly “Semuren” with a high-bridged nose and deep-set eyes, who speaks broken Chinese but has a gaze as sharp as a torch.

“Comrade, your country is groaning under its suffering!”

When a man named Pavel Korchagin turns the spirit of How the Steel Was Tempered into the most primal spark of revolution, Li Zheng knows that this dark age is about to be utterly overturned!

The aristocratic clans monopolize knowledge? We’ll set up literacy night schools and arm everyone with the imprint of revolutionary thought!

The barbarian cavalry rides roughshod over everyone? We have the disciplined “Red Army,” and we’ll drown them all beneath our numbers and resolve!

The land is strewn with corpses, and the people can barely survive? We’ll overthrow the landlords and redistribute the land, so every farmer has fields to till and everyone has food to eat!

Li Zheng draws up the blueprint, bringing together a thousand years of wisdom. Pavel forges their souls and shapes an ironclad revolutionary spirit.

One is a red scholar from the future.

The other is the embodiment of revolutionary will.

When the cry “Workers of the world, unite!” rings out across the skies of Northern Wei for the first time, the rotten rulers of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the feudal landlords and aristocratic clans, your strictest father has arrived!

Historical Fiction! The Characters Must Have Brains!!

Are there stories where a modern person transmigrates back to ancient times and uses their profession to make a difference? Like a doctor who transmigrates to the past and advances medicine within the limits of the era, or a modern special forces expert who transmigrates to ancient times and builds an army using modern ideas. Or just invent penicillin or something. From the start, they pull out an AK-47.
