Also known as: The PR Worker vs. The History Expert
Chen Ming, a government PR officer, transmigrates into Wang Mang. At first, he just wants to coast through life, but when he sees the people suffering at the end of the Western Han, he decides to use his predecessor’s reputation to seize the throne and push through new policies, packaging himself as a “sage chosen by Heaven” with modern PR tactics. Unfortunately, he knows PR, not governance, and the more he pushes his reforms, the more chaotic things become, until war breaks out across the land.
Who could have guessed that another transmigrator was hiding in Nanyang: Liu Xiu, a history expert? Armed with the “script,” Liu Xiu mocks Wang Mang’s “administrative-style reforms” while choosing the perfect moment to raise an army, win hearts, and sweep aside his rivals. At the Battle of Kunyang, the two reveal that they have transmigrated. On one side is a PR worker trying to defy fate; on the other is the favored son of the era, holding history’s script. A power struggle spanning time and space begins.
The Xin dynasty falls, and the Eastern Han is founded. Standing at the pinnacle of power, Liu Xiu finally realizes that his most terrifying opponent was never a warlord amid the chaos, but someone just like him: a fellow modern person trapped in ancient times.
