Chen Yan, a PhD in history, transmigrates into the body of a minor official in charge of household registration in Guangzhou Prefecture, Southern Liang.
The first thing he does when he opens his eyes is make sure he’s still alive.
The second is realize that his mind contains the Books of Southern Qi, Liang, Wei, and Northern History, along with everything he knows about this era.
He knows that the seemingly prosperous Southern Liang before him will be shattered by Hou Jing’s iron hooves eighteen years from now. The Guanlong elite in the north is on the rise, and a boy named Yang Jian has just been born.
He looks at the patches on his official’s robe, then at the magnificent carriage of the “Lanling Xiao clan” in the distance.
He takes a deep breath.
“From today onward, my name is Xiao Yan: a cadet of the Lanling Xiao clan who crossed south and ended up here.”
