Synopsis

A friendly reminder: This is a work of pure alternate history and has no connection to real history. After my soul transmigrated into a scholarly family in Great Qian, I brought with me the learning of a thousand ages, seeking only warm wine, peace of mind, and a beautiful woman by my side. I deliberately kept my exam scores low, hoping to land some undemanding government post and stay clear of political strife. But things rarely go as planned. Great Qian’s prosperity was only a facade. Corrupt officials ruled while the people suffered, and in the end, I could not stand by and do nothing. I concealed my strength in the bureaucracy and rose by breaking through obstacles; I guarded the northern frontier and made my name in battle; I helped the emperor defeat the rebels and purged the wicked. From a minor official to the emperor’s entrusted tutor, prince consort, and chief councilor, I never wanted power, yet I saved the dynasty from collapse!
