Li Shimin Transmigrates into Li Yu: Rebuilding the Prosperous Tang

[No System + impassioned struggle for supremacy + ensemble cast + the Tang Taizong and Song Taizu eras collide at their peaks]

Li Yu, a graceful and talented poet, a ruler who lost his kingdom, the greatest lyric poet of all time.

Li Shimin, supreme commander of the Heavenly Strategies Army, ruler of the Zhenguan era, an emperor for the ages.

In 972 AD, when Emperor Taizong of Tang's soul descended into the body of the Later Lord of Southern Tang, history suddenly veered off course.

By this point, the Great Song had already conquered Jinghu, destroyed Later Shu, and pacified Southern Han. Its next target was Jiangnan.

The nineteen prefectures of Southern Tang were ruled by a weak sovereign and served by suspicious ministers. Its army was exhausted, its state impoverished, and it seemed like a dying lamp in the wind, ready to be crushed beneath the northern hooves at any moment.

The odds were nine to one.

But, as it happened, the man best at turning the tables had arrived.

When "Li Yu" awoke, his first act wasn't to write poetry, but to draw his sword.

He no longer sighed, "When will the spring flowers and autumn moon end?" nor asked, "How can I bear to look back on my former kingdom?"

He asked the assembled ministers just one question:

"If I want to march north, who dares follow me into battle?"

In the north, Zhao Kuangyin used the world as his chessboard.

In the south, Li Shimin made his move amid the ruins of a fallen kingdom.

One sought to end the age of chaos and unite the land.

The other sought to defy fate and restore the glorious Tang.

When The King of Qin Breaks the Battle Formation rang through Jinling, the world finally understood:

This time, Li Yu would not write a poem about a fallen kingdom.

He would write Zhao Kuangyin a declaration of war!
