Starting circumstances: Born into a family of salt smugglers. His father was beaten to death by officials for selling salt illegally, leaving the family destitute.
Core golden finger: The memories of a modern history graduate student, especially his expertise in late Tang and Five Dynasties history, military tactics, and basic technology (elementary knowledge of metallurgy, agriculture, and chemistry).
Core theme: Armed with knowledge from the future and insights beyond his era, a modern soul rises from the lowest ranks amid the chaos of the late Tang, ultimately replacing the dynasty.
Historical background:
During the reigns of Emperor Yizong and Emperor Xizong of Tang, eunuchs such as Tian Lingzi wielded great power, regional warlords ruled their own territories, and the people lived in misery.
The Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chao rebellions are about to erupt in 875.
Amid this great upheaval, the protagonist will forge a completely different path.
