Six-year-old Li Jue transmigrated as the Tang dynasty's imperial grandson. He had planned to lie flat and enjoy his days, but everything he casually invented turned out to be a world-changing marvel.
His new papermaking method made knowledge accessible to all, high-yield crops freed the people from famine, and orchards that bore fruit in every season overturned everyone's expectations.
When court ministers Wei Zheng and Zhangsun Wuji saw all this, they lost their composure on the spot and cried, "This is unbelievable!"
In Li Shimin's eyes, this grandson was a blessing for the Tang dynasty.
In Li Chengqian's eyes, this son was a walking treasure trove.
As for Li Jue, all he wanted to know was: could he please get a good lie-in?
From the Eastern Palace's back courtyard to the shifting tides of the court, from disaster relief to saving the people to driving reform, a six-year-old child used modern knowledge to set off an unprecedented wave of change in the Tang dynasty.
