[Transmigration] [History] [Political Intrigue] [Low Magic] [Golden Finger] [Comeback]
Other people transmigrate with a System. He brings a history book that's about to expire.
When he opens his eyes, he's become Li Xian, Emperor Zhongzong of Tang, with someone else's body heat still lingering on his imperial robe.
In his previous life, he was a Kunlun alchemist, until his furnace exploded. In this life, the history book has already written his ending: after fifty-five days on the throne, he'll be deposed as Prince of Luling and die in Fangzhou.
But he soon realizes that the very first line of the history book is already wrong.
No flying through the sky, no duels with spells. He has only a damaged little bronze furnace, a batch of pills, a mind that's growing ever better at reading people, and a history book that becomes less accurate by the day.
The Empress Dowager rules from court, powerful clans surround him, and everyone in the palace is waiting for him to fall. Yet his first move isn't to fight for power, but to "recruit people": failed candidates, an old eunuch in charge of the storerooms, an elderly craftsman who has spent his life repairing furnaces. One by one, he adds their names to his register.
In this palace, official titles are lifeless, but names are alive.
The countdown begins today. He isn't betting his life. He's betting on whose name will be written into the future of this realm.
