Lin Bei, a history major and the king of verbal takedowns, dies suddenly and transmigrates into King Zhou of Shang. From the start, the priests are about to burn him alive in a sacrifice to Heaven, but he turns the tables and insults them into silence. Corrupt officials? He tears into them! Nepotism? He tears into it! The Western Zhou? He even brings up the scandalous history of Ji Fa’s father eating his own son! He had planned to lie flat, but then he meets the gentle, numerate Su Ya. Neither knows the other’s identity. They pore over their accounts late at night, drink porridge on the city wall, and quietly fall in love. Then he discovers she is the “demon consort” Daji. What a coincidence: he’s the “tyrant.” In that case, they’ll talk their way into a golden age and spoil each other into a wise emperor and empress. History? They can rewrite it for fun!
