On the first day after being hit by a speeding delivery van and transmigrating to the Tang dynasty, Li Yunfan discovers that he has become Du Fu's eldest son.
The good news: DeepSeek is in his head. It can look up information, make plans, and teach him the language of the Tang dynasty. He calls it "Lord Whale."
The bad news: It's the twelfth year of Tianbao, and the An Lushan Rebellion will break out in two years. His father is Du Fu, the poet who wrote, "In vermilion-gated mansions, the wine and meat go to waste, while frozen corpses lie by the roadside," and who lived in poverty all his life, so destitute that even his youngest son starved to death.
The even worse news: In his previous life, he was a college student who had failed pharmacology. He can't ride a horse, shoot a bow, or write with a brush. His modern soul is trapped inside a baby who can't even roll over. How is he supposed to survive?
The answer: He has Lord Whale. Identifying edible wild plants, learning medicine, planning escape routes: while other transmigrators rely on a System, he relies on AI. But that's not all. He has a secret called "Zero-Frame Rewind": ten manual save slots, one automatic save, and automatic reloading after death. If he messes up, he can start over. The price is that in every overwritten timeline, he alone remembers all the pain and regret.
A modern underachiever, AI, and endless do-overs. His father is the Sage of Poetry, his mother is a daughter of the Hongnong Yang family, and his younger brother has not yet been born, though he will be immortalized in an age-old lament. He can't change anything, but he's determined to try.
From uttering his first "Mama" to crawling his first step in life. It doesn't matter if the Sage of Poetry's son can't write poetry. Knowing how to use AI is enough.
"Father, I'll help you fulfill your wish for 'a great shelter for all, where every poor scholar can smile.'"
Even if it takes a thousand tries.
