[Wits and Political Intrigue]+ [Epic War]+ [Profound Love]+ [Reflections on Civilization]+ [Parallel Worlds]+This book is complete
A modern soul carrying a treasury of Chinese poetry transmigrates into the High Tang. He only wants to survive the turmoil, but is forced to wield poetry as a sword, navigating the literary world, the imperial court, and the flames of war. In the end, he grows from a “thief who steals fire with poetry” into a “bearer of civilization’s torch” in this epic tale.
Li Mubai opens his eyes to find himself a garrison soldier in Longyou Circuit during the Great Tang. Behind him are the iron cavalry of Tubo; before him looms the An Lushan Rebellion, soon to engulf the realm.
As a transmigrator, all he wants is to stay alive. Then one night, Zheng Xuanming, Vice Minister of Rites and leader of the literary world, inspects the frontier. A line spoken at the banquet, “The Legend of Qin,” thrusts Li Mubai into the spotlight of prosperous Chang’an.
