Synopsis

Chen Wang somehow transmigrates to the final years of the Sui dynasty and becomes a disciple of Zhang Zhongjian, the Red-Bearded Guest, one of the Three Heroes of the Wind and Dust.

In the fifth year of the Wude era, Chen Wang's master sends him to the Prince of Qin's residence to keep an eye on Li Shimin. He ends up staying there for two years.

During those two years, he returns to the mountains again and again, but no matter how hard he searches, he cannot find his master.

With no other choice, he remains at the Prince of Qin's residence and lands his first position in the Tang dynasty: a commandant.

He witnesses the Xuanwu Gate Incident firsthand and helps Li Shimin seize the throne. He also lives through the Reign of Zhenguan and the Alliance at the Wei River...

He joins the Tang's God of War, Li Jing, on the northern campaign against the Eastern Turks and captures Jieli Khan alive. He fights against Tuyuhun and Gaochang, and accompanies Li Shimin on his personal campaign against Goguryeo.

He helplessly lives through the replacement of the Tang by Wu Zhou, the An Lushan Rebellion, and more...

He personally helps Di Renjie, the Sherlock Holmes of the East, rise to prominence. He drinks and sings with literary greats such as Li Bai, the Immortal of Poetry, Du Fu, the Sage of Poetry, and Bai Juyi, the Demon of Poetry. He is also close friends with Li Chunfeng, who co-authored the Tui Bei Tu with Yuan Tiangang.

He has been a spirited young marquis and even earned an unprecedented place as the twenty-fifth meritorious official in the Lingyan Pavilion.

It is as if he alone has been abandoned in the river of time. With a pair of eyes that do not belong to him, he bears the lonely torment of saying farewell to one beloved family member after another.

Looking for High-Quality Historical Fiction. No Mindless Power Trips or Brain-Dead Plotting

I want high-quality historical fiction that’s engaging and doesn’t dumb things down or rely on brainless plots. It can be satisfying, but don’t treat readers like idiots. No stories like the one where the protagonist fools Cao Cao’s quartermaster about the provisions from the start, or those where a literati protagonist suddenly has the strength of a tyrant. They’re unoriginal and mindless...
