After transmigrating into the role of a fake alchemist in the pre-Qin era, he finds himself in a deadly predicament from the start. Facing the blade of a Qin general, Xu Nuo, a history PhD, is forced to play the part.
He predicts a mountain collapse using geography, and summons wind and rain with meteorology. With penicillin in hand, he becomes a divine healer in a chaotic age; with a silver tongue, he brings a venomous enchantress to heel.
He uses science to clear the way for Qin, yet everyone sees him as the most terrifying sorcerer alive.
The iron-blooded general Wei Yang: “If you are loyal, you are a pillar of the state; if you rebel, you are a grave threat to the realm.”
Hong Xiu, the enemy kingdom’s foremost assassin: “Are you my way out, or my doom?”
Xu Nuo stands above the masses, facing the world’s most complicated gazes, and smiles faintly.
It’s time this world learned to live differently.
