Transmigration + Empress + harem + political intrigue + face-slapping + comeback + rebirth + crafting firearms by hand + military strategy: After dying from an all-nighter, Ouyang Wen transmigrates into the body of a wastrel in Great Qian. The moment he opens his eyes, the Empress treats him like a pawn she can sacrifice, appointing him an envoy of peace and forcing him to go to Great Yuan. It is an open plot to kill with a borrowed blade: if he goes, Great Yuan will execute him; if he defies the imperial decree, the Empress will settle accounts with him. Either way, he’s dead!
She’s also planted a spy at his side, a sweet and silly female clerk disguised as a man, along with a cold-faced personal guard. The road ahead is full of traps and murderous intent.
He should be doomed, but he uses modern knowledge to defy fate and change his lot: he handcrafts smoke bombs, knockout drugs, and lifesaving blowgun darts, then turns the tables and leaves his enemies in ruins.
He casually recites timeless verses that dazzle the courts of both kingdoms and overturn his reputation as a wastrel.
Framed for defiling Great Yuan’s empress, he fakes his death and escapes, using a clever ruse to return to Great Qian.
At the academy, he secretly develops composite bows, muskets, and cannons, creating weapons of war that give his side a technological edge!
The Empress wants to use him to start a war and seize power. The Protector Marquis’s military authority is being stripped away, the great clans keep plotting against him, and Great Yuan is poised to strike!
See how he turns his fate around, going from a wastrel sent to die to someone who protects the women he loves, commands an army, builds divine weapons, exposes conspiracies, humiliates the Empress, and crushes foreign enemies!
