His initial funding might also have come from these advantages, but that's irrelevant. Since deciding to study, he's been diligently working out and studying every day, even though his handwriting is already quite good, he still sets aside time each day to practice calligraphy without ever slacking off. While he has access to some clues from modern sources, most of the information he obtains from solving cases comes from less common books. Everyone else is studying for the imperial examinations, but he's the only one who can recite the laws of the current dynasty.

    A wildly imaginative historical fantasy, "The Shoemaker Travels Through Time to the Warring States Period and Meets Shang Yang!" Who would have thought that a poor 21st-century shoemaker would be struck by lightning and transported to the war-torn Warring States period? And, by sheer chance, he saves the future reformer Shang Yang with his shoe-mending awl! One is a pragmatist whose mindset is "mending old things is like mending shoes; repairing them makes them usable again," while the other is an idealist determined to "break with the old and establish the new, reforming and strengthening Qin." Their diametrically opposed ideologies are forced together for survival. The shoe-mending machine becomes a "miracle skill" of the Warring States period, their shoe-mending logic forces the reform drafts to undergo frequent revisions, their daily banter is full of laughs, and their collaborations are surprisingly seamless. From a shoe-mending stall on the streets of Xianyang to the council hall of the Qin royal palace; from mutual dislike to a bond stronger than brothers, they refine their ideologies amidst the clash of swords, assisting Duke Xiao of Qin on the path to a powerful Qin dynasty. When Shang Yang's blood stained the yellow sands, only the cobbler, with his rusty shoe-repairing machine, used bamboo slips to inscribe unfulfilled ideals and camaraderie amidst the chaos. A meeting across a millennium, a clash between mending the old and innovation—this unconventional Warring States legend is truly captivating! Currently serialized up to Chapter 112, "The Wise Go to Shu, the Canal Nourishes the Fertile Fields," the plot continues its high-energy pace.
