Wake Up! I, Li Shen, Have Become a Celebrity

Li Shen, a graduate student in the Department of Modern History, woke up to become Li Jing's distant nephew, just before the Xuanwumen Incident. In order to protect himself, he offered the king of Qin Li Shimin a plan to stabilize the country, and thus began a legendary life that lasted for 280 years. He assisted Taizong in establishing Zhenguan, witnessed the power strategies of Gaozong Dynasty, and witnessed the stormy waves of the Queen's ascension to the throne; he drank with Li Bai in the prosperous age of Kaiyuan, and helped Guo Ziyi recover the two capitals during the Anshi War; he mediated among the feudal vassals, witnessed the blood of the Manna Incident, and bid farewell to Xuanzong's final revival. From Li Shimin to Li Jie, he accompanied the Tang Dynasty through eight generations of emperors and witnessed the empire from its peak to its collapse. He saved Prince Li Hong, protected Concubine Yang, taught Li Shangyin, and raised Pei's orphan. He watched his beloved leave again and again, and started over again incognito. In the fourth year of God's blessing, Zhu Wen usurped the Tang Dynasty. He buried the jade pendant given by Taizong in the ruins of Chang'an and bowed deeply to the void—— "Your Majesty, you asked me what reward I want. I said, I want to watch the Tang Dynasty through the ages. Now, I've finished reading it."
