Political intrigue + a struggle for supremacy + detective cases
When modern lounge singer Lin Ping'an wakes up, he has transmigrated into the Northern Song capital of Bianjing as an illegitimate son of a marquis, with neither father nor mother. His stepmother has seized the family fortune, he has no money to his name, and he’s saddled with gambling debts. From the start, he’s playing on nightmare difficulty.
But while others rely on power and influence, he relies on “dimensional superiority.”
With a stick of charcoal, he captures every facet of life
The courtesan stars of Fanlou compete to invite him, and the rich and powerful line up to commission his art. His sketches take Bianjing by storm.
With a song, he breaks through a thousand years of musical convention
“Deep, Deep Love” dazzles the crowd, while “Azure Jade Case” appears out of nowhere, and scholars throughout the city rush to pass them around.
While others toil over their books for ten years, he simply borrows from the future.
Poetry, music, painting, business: he excels at everything, rising from a street artist to the circles of the powerful.
Lin Ping'an originally only wanted to hide out in Lin'an and live as a wealthy idler before the Jin army invaded south. But in the end, the tide of events sweeps him along. He catches Emperor Huizong's eye and becomes a favorite minister, more beloved than Cai Jing. The common people even call him the Seventh Bandit, above the infamous Six Bandits.
(Give me three hours, everyone, and I’ll give you a glorious Song dynasty.)
Author: Your writing is really good. I have read so many novels. I personally think you are at the top of the same genre of novels. You have only updated more than sixty chapters. It is normal to have fewer hot topics. Are you not confident now? You want popularity, you want good reviews. How can you get all of them with just over sixty chapters? Don't be discouraged. Keep going. Moreover, you have a push for your new book now. You should take advantage of this moment to get excited.
The writing is very good. I hope the Northern Song Dynasty will not make the same mistake again. Please give your best to the author. I hope Di Ji will have a good ending.
It's quite fascinating. I read it in one sitting. It's a good book.
I read it in one go, it feels very good and worth watching! Come on, author, just write in the current style!
It's very imaginative and looks better than just copying poems. Copy more lyrics, especially classic old songs, which are much better than the messy songs nowadays.
It's really good to read. I stayed up late to read it and had to doze off at work. You have to be responsible, the author.
No matter what you cut, it's well written.
The writing is good, it's refreshing, and the jokes aren't awkward.
It's really the most comfortable time travel novel I've read recently.
The author's writing is good, and the story has ups and downs. It's a bit of an experience reading ancient Chinese vernacular prose. It's worth reading. I recommend it.
