Overnight, a modern liberal arts student majoring in history transmigrates to the early Zhenguan era and becomes Li Yuanfang, Prince of Zhou, who shares his name.
The glorious Zhenguan age shines bright, with the mighty Tang towering above all nations.
The Heavenly Khan commands respect in every direction. Civil officials are as plentiful as rain, and generals as numerous as clouds. Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Li Jing, Li Shiji, Su Dingfang… They are the brightest stars in Chinese history.
But Li Yuanfang, who has transmigrated here, knows that this golden age will end and these stars will fade. He knows that Wu will seize the Tang throne and establish her own dynasty. He knows the An Lushan Rebellion will tear this splendid realm to pieces. He knows that later generations will face the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the Humiliation of Jingkang, the fall at Yashan, and the forced adoption of Manchu hairstyles and clothing.
So what can a liberal arts student who can't build guns or cannons leave behind for this age?
A thousand-year epic of Chinese lords contending for supremacy across the world!
