Mastermind of the Five Dynasties: From Execution Ground to Imperial Tutor

He knelt on the execution ground, a blade already pressed to his neck.

After transmigrating into the chaotic Five Dynasties era, he found himself in a deadly predicament from the start.

Framed by a powerful minister, he was to be executed in three days. The only thing he could rely on was his ability to deduce the course of fate and read people’s hearts.

The blade never fell. With a single sentence, he made the presiding official stop the execution himself.

From a condemned man on the execution ground to an adviser to the Prince of Jin, from a low-ranking clerk to the emperor’s mentor, whose influence spanned the realm. He saw through the Liang army’s plans, uncovered hidden schemes at court, and calculated every bloody upheaval of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.

But what he could never foresee was the price of being right every time.

The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun were nearing their end. Could he defy fate and change the outcome before they fell? No one knew. The future was shrouded in mist.
