Between Two Worlds: From Humble Son to Supreme Noble

[Tycoon] + [Dual Transmigration] + [Rising from Adversity] + [Feel-Good Story] + [Tang Dynasty]

Li Xuan, a first-year history student, wakes to find that he has transmigrated to the Yonghui era of Emperor Gaozong’s reign in the Tang dynasty. He has become the neglected illegitimate son of Li Chongwen, a wealthy merchant in Luoyang.

Just as he resigns himself to eking out a meager existence in this rigidly hierarchical age, he makes an astonishing discovery: whenever he falls asleep in the Tang dynasty, he can return to his university dormitory in the twenty-first century!

Thus begins Li Xuan’s journey to rise through the ranks by traveling between two worlds:

In the modern world, he carefully selects Tang artifacts and quietly takes them back, selling them discreetly on the antiques market to build his initial capital.

He invests in technology, real estate, and cultural industries, gradually building a business empire spanning numerous fields and becoming a low-profile tycoon worth hundreds of billions.

In the Tang dynasty, he uses modern knowledge to gather material for the imperial examinations, studies the classics and histories, and improves papermaking and printing techniques.

From the county and prefectural examinations to the palace examination, he overcomes one challenge after another, earning the jinshi degree despite his humble birth. Once he enters government, he skillfully applies modern management ideas and his ability to foresee historical developments, steadily rising amid court intrigue until he reaches the highest ranks. He also wins a princess’s heart, changing the fate of both himself and his family.

He travels between two worlds, advancing with every step carefully planned.

Li Xuan wants more than wealth and power. In both eras, he intends to live life on his own terms.
