Lin Zhao, a biology PhD, dies from overwork and opens his eyes squatting in a foul-smelling ancient latrine.
The good news: he's become Emperor Chen Qian of the Chen dynasty.
The bad news: enemy troops are right outside, ready to kill him and silence him.
Even worse: the history books say he'll only live to 45.
Lin Zhao blows up the toilet and goes on a killing spree.
Officials refuse to obey? Kill them. Enemy troops attack? Blow them up. Corrupt officials? Seize their estates and wipe out their families.
When the empress asks how he knows so much, he smiles calmly. "Because I came from 1,500 years in the future."
Hybrid rice, land mines, biological warfare... He crushes the past with future knowledge and defies fate.
But as he changes history, he discovers a fatal problem: history has been erased, and his future self no longer exists.
So... should he change it back?
A long life in the Tianjia era: watch how a scholar-emperor lives for a thousand years.
