After transmigrating into the body of a condemned prisoner in the Ming Dynasty, Lin Jianyuan discovers that all of history is a lie.
Beneath the feet of the alchemy-obsessed Jiajing Emperor, a group of madmen are using evil feng shui techniques to slowly eat away at the Forbidden City's dragon vein!
They have buried curse dolls beneath the emperor's bed, laid a deadly blood array at the bottom of Taiye Lake, and even want to burn all the wisdom of the Chinese people in the Yongle Encyclopedia to ashes.
The Ming Dynasty's decline, as recorded in the history books, was actually the result of a century-long occult murder plot!
While other transmigrators make glass and gunpowder, Lin Jianyuan can only take up his compass and walk a knife's edge through the gaps in history:
Dueling before the throne: "Your Majesty, the cinnabar pills you've been eating contain excessive levels of mercury." He ignites the methane in an ancient well in front of everyone, combining occult arts and science to break the palace's curse.
Underground shadow war: He explores secret passages from the previous dynasty, fighting beneath the Forbidden City, a thousand meters underground, for the last spark that can keep civilization alive.
When a group of Jurchen sorcerers laugh and declare, "The Ming Dynasty's fortune is spent. This is the will of Heaven!"
Lin Jianyuan hurls his compass and activates the great landscape array buried twenty years ago:
"To hell with the will of Heaven! I'm a modern man, and today I'm forcing the course of Chinese civilization to change!"
[Highlights]
Hardcore feng shui: Reinterprets the "dragon vein" through geography, architecture, and environmental science. Every step toward solving the mystery is backed by sound reasoning.
An epic of civilization: From protecting the Yongle Encyclopedia to secretly driving a technological revolution, the protagonist is saving more than just a dynasty.
High-stakes twists: The hidden truths behind historical events, and the occult battle waged behind the rise and fall of the Ming Dynasty.
This is more than just a satisfying transmigration story. It's a battle to defend civilization across time.
It feels like there is a petty spirit in everything, and they are all handling the case according to the order. Not to mention the overwhelming force, they must have enough manpower. There are not many Jin Yiwei to follow. When danger is encountered, they will only use their own people to act recklessly and force themselves to fight alone in the style of tomb robbing notes. What kind of emperor is there to mix with the court? 🤦 🤦 🤦 🤦 🤦 🤦
