A Top Scholar for a Father, a Chancellor for an Uncle, and I Refuse to Lie Flat

[Welcome, History Researchers] [Rebellion] [Fill the Granaries] [Share the Wealth Equally] [Top Scholar Father] [Chancellor Uncle] [Merchant's Daughter]

How could a blazing heart settle for merely easing the symptoms? It would rather burn away every grievance and obsession.

Study history well to become a good official.

But being an official isn't just about catching adulterers and punishing evil. It's also about dealing with people and the unexpected!

Lin Mu, a history graduate student, died suddenly at three in the morning. He never finished his thesis, "On the Deep-Rooted Causes of the Northern Song's Fall and the Multiple Possibilities at Its Historical Turning Points."

When he opened his eyes again, he had become Zhang Yunwen, the legitimate second son of Zhang Heng, top scholar of the Northern Song.

His father, Zhang Heng, was a respected statesman who had served four reigns, known for his pragmatism and neutrality.

His clan uncle, Zhang Dun, was the leader of the New Policies faction and a future chancellor, wielding power over the realm.

They were an eminent clan, with distinguished members throughout the household. Even if he did nothing, he could inherit an official post and live a comfortable life.

But he couldn't smile.

The court in the capital was a slaughterhouse. The New and Old factions were locked in a fight to the death, and choosing either side meant certain death.
