Lin An traveled through time.
Not to be an emperor, not to be an immortal, but to be a book boy—getting up at three in the morning to recite books, and getting punished for memorizing a wrong word.
The book boys competed with each other to see who could get up earlier, who could survive longer, and who could remain silent even after being beaten. No one cares about what you memorize, only whether you have studied or not.
Lin An didn't want to get involved. He slept until he woke up naturally and taught everyone to understand the meaning instead of memorizing it by rote.
Then he was beaten. Imprisoned in the firewood shed. Isolated by the academy.
The man who beat him said, "This is what happens if you don't follow the rules."
Lin An wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and smiled.
"Okay. Then I'll show you how unruly people can break your rules one by one."
On the wrist, the "Pearl of Rules" from the earth is slightly warm.
Starting from overthrowing a prince, to modifying the source code of Tiandao.
The world told him: either die or accept his fate.
He said: I choose the third way.
