"Eating melon? I'm a professional."
Zhao Guagua, a graduate student in the history department, woke up and found that he had traveled to Bianjing in the Northern Song Dynasty. There are no cheats, no system plug-ins, only an unreliable "melon-eating system" - if you want to survive, you have to search for gossips all over the city.
So, he was the one listening in the corner in the teahouse, he was the one squatting at the door of the yamen, and he was the one chatting with people in the bathhouse.
From Su Dongpo's private cooking, to Li Qingzhao's remarriage turmoil; from Bao Zheng's clever plan to examine stones, to Song Huizong being called a "foolish emperor" and breaking his defense on the spot - everything that official history did not dare to write, and unofficial history that could not be written completely, was all uncovered by him.
But Zhao Guagua gradually discovered that the most exciting things in Bianjing City are often hidden in those little people who are dismissed by history books. The last load of charcoal from the charcoal seller, a sleep talk from the veteran guarding the city, the love poem hidden in the fan of the brothel girl...
"Don't worry, eat the kougua first."
