The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms were the most chaotic fifty years in Chinese history.
Five emperors were changed in three years, and 100,000 people were massacred three times in twenty years.
In this era of murderous people, how can a useless time traveler with no background survive?
The answer is: flattery.
This is not a book that teaches you the dark stuff.
This is a story about "living".
The protagonist Shen Ji climbed from a "two-legged sheep" to a celebrity in the imperial court, and lived from the Five Dynasties to the Song Dynasty.
He spent sixty years proving one thing:
In this world, what can keep you alive is often not how strong you are, but how well you understand people.
Understand their fears, their loneliness, and the words they didn't say.
If you get it, you win.
