The Chronicles of the Zhu Clan

Zhu Xuanyu, courtesy name Taichu, is known as the “Mystic Dragon.”

He is no ordinary man, but the “Keeper of the Key to Time and Space,” chosen by an ancient star chart. After an accident sends him tumbling from the modern world into the Spring and Autumn period, he embarks on a journey across two and a half thousand years. In each volume, he awakens in a different dynasty, carrying memories of his past lives and mastery of feng shui, divination, swordsmanship, commerce, and treasure hunting. He is swept up in dynastic upheavals, bloody martial-arts feuds, and covert battles in the world of commerce.

In the Spring and Autumn period, he uses a bronze compass to locate dragon veins and helps King Goujian of Yue hide treasures for the restoration of his kingdom;

In the Warring States period, he faces off against Guiguzi and lays a feng shui scheme to unite the realm;

In the Han and Tang dynasties, he uses his identity as a merchant to control the salt and iron trades, silk, and tea-horse commerce, amassing wealth enough to rival a nation;

In the Song and Yuan dynasties, he infiltrates imperial tombs, solves the mystery of the Nine Tripods, and averts a world-ending catastrophe;

In the Ming and Qing dynasties, he takes on the identities of a secret-police officer and a red-capped merchant, navigating the worlds of imperial power and the jianghu.

Eighteen volumes, eighteen dynasties. Each volume brings a new identity and a contest against fate. As Zhu Xuanyu searches the river of time for a “way home,” he discovers that his true enemy is the “Fate Defier,” a nemesis hidden in history's shadows who can also travel through time.

"The Chronicles of the Zhu Clan" combines transmigration, fantasy, wuxia, feng shui, treasure hunting, and business warfare. Reimagining Chinese history on an epic scale, it creates a grand work of Eastern fantasy: an “Eastern version of "Dune" + "Game of Thrones".”
