[Transmigration] + [No System] + [True to the Historical Era] + [Realistic Logic]
Northern Song, Yuanyou era.
The struggle between the New and Old Factions is raging, and under the prosperous surface, undercurrents are stirring.
Shen Zhixing wakes up beside a foul-smelling ditch and discovers that he has become a farmer’s son whose parents are both dead.
He has no System, no golden finger, and can barely afford to eat.
He tries to “cheat” like the heroes in transmigration novels, only to realize that people in the past weren’t fools. They have well-established guild systems, mature business models, and strict social rules.
For a modern man without status, capital, or connections, even surviving in ancient times is a pipe dream.
But Shen Zhixing has one advantage nobody else does:
He knows that information is power.
From networks of beggars to intelligence from brothels, from the tricks of the underworld to temple finances, he uses a modern information-driven approach to bring together ancient resources and climb his way up from the bottom.
He won’t take the civil service exams or seek military distinction. He follows a path no one has ever taken before.
That path is called information supremacy.
And at its end lies an era of his own.
Set against the real Northern Song, with a subversion of the usual tropes at its core,
a gritty transmigration novel about survival, social mobility, and information warfare
