Wang Yan, a thirty-year-old programmer from Linyi, went into the mountains to see the tomb of the Prince of Langya. A clap of thunder later, he found himself in the Western Jin dynasty in the year 300.
All he had with him was a hiking backpack: two packets of his hometown's fried chicken seasoning, a few dozen chili seeds, and a phone that was nearly out of battery.
As soon as he arrived, he was mistaken for a grave robber and dragged to the execution ground. He saved his life with a lighter, then used a pot of fried chicken to land a job in the kitchen of the Prince of Langya's residence.
But the Rebellion of Yongjia is only eleven years away.
This time, he'll use an iron wok to stir-fry history back onto its proper course.
