A hapless man born with the worst possible luck is so unlucky that even the King of Hell avoids him for fear of getting dragged into his misfortune. The only thing to do is send him to help several renowned figures from history fulfill their regrets. The King of Hell makes him a solemn promise: pass the underworld’s test, and in his next life he can be reborn wherever he wants!
At first, he thinks he’s struck the deal of a lifetime. Then he finds out who he’s dealing with!
Qin Shi Huang grabs Qin Er Shi and gives him a thorough beating. Zhu Yuanzhang pins down one descendant after another and tears into them. Are all these emperors so hot-tempered? Just look at Old Zhu’s fourth son: his legs are nearly broken, and Old Zhu still isn’t satisfied! Of course, these emperors aren’t content with simply disciplining their unfilial descendants. They want to personally take the throne, end the chaos, and establish a new foundation of their own. But even with the Ancestral Dragon himself on the scene, can he really turn the tide when a dynasty is on the verge of collapse?
Our chancellor, at least, is gentle. The history books say he debated the scholars, angered Zhou Yu to death, and verbally bested Wang Lang, making him sharp-tongued and vicious. But in person, he isn’t so malicious at all. Instead, he’s filled with pride in his children and his successors. As one of the wisest figures in Chinese history, how will he come to terms with the lifelong wish he never fulfilled: restoring the Han dynasty?
After the naturally unlucky protagonist goes through one hardship after another alongside these kings, lords, generals, and ministers, he plans to become a wealthy gentleman and enjoy a lifetime of money he can never spend. But at the last moment, carrying the memories of his previous life, he is swept into a vortex that will decide the survival of the Chinese nation.
A true man of principle!
