   The first book I read was incredibly captivating. It featured other people's transmigration stories, all about causing trouble, trouble, and more trouble. But for Wei Yu, who was born the Ninth Prince of the Great Wei Dynasty and possessed a tablet in his brain, nothing was happier than lying down, binge-watching dramas, and reading novels. Unfortunately, everything ended when, after his father was struck by lightning, he was inappropriately called upon, questioned, remembered, appointed, and given important responsibilities. When Wei Yu looked back, he suddenly realized with shock that he, the previously insignificant Ninth Prince, had somehow become the most suitable candidate for Crown Prince!

    The first book features Wang Yang, a modern literature PhD, who transmigrates to the Southern Qi Dynasty and becomes an "unregistered resident." Facing a life-or-death situation, he doesn't invent gunpowder or soap, but instead uses a debate on the authenticity of the *Shangshu* (Book of Documents) to debating the Confucian scholars at the White Tiger Dojo, exposing the supposedly authoritative *Ancient Text Shangshu* as a forgery, shaking the court with his knowledge. On the surface, he's a composed and unassuming young master of the Langya Wang clan, but inside he's a frantic modern man frantically searching for classical texts, a veritable "walking encyclopedia of Chinese knowledge." When the protagonist overwhelms everyone with his erudition, it becomes clear that "those who fight against the noble are all thieves," and knowledge is the sharpest weapon for the lowly. The second book features a sharp-tongued, cunning, and ruthless ruler, treading on darkness while yearning for light.
