He opened his eyes, closed them, and found himself in yet another world.
How much longer would this kind of life go on?
Looking at his hands, small once again, he sighed once more. What a pity, he hadn't managed to die this time either.
He had come to the prosperous Tang Dynasty, but had the bad luck to arrive during the An Lushan Rebellion.
If it had nothing to do with his family, he would much rather spend his days practicing martial arts, forging weapons, and reading, enjoying a leisurely retirement.
Unfortunately, he had been born in a place called Bashan Blade Manor. Some of his family members, who were a real pain in the neck, had colluded with An Lushan and Shi Siming. As the eldest son of his generation at Bashan Blade Manor, he felt his sense of responsibility flare up.
So, on a certain sunny day, he left home with his family's sable and his luggage.
Then he suddenly realized...
Well, this world seemed a little different from the Tang Dynasty and the An Lushan Rebellion he knew about.
Hidden Sword Manor? Never heard of it. Yellow chickens? What the heck? That yellow chicken that got Aunt Liu Xi killed, you just wait. I swear I'll chop you to pieces.
Tiance Mansion? I think that existed in history. Huskies? I'm pretty sure there weren't any dogs like that at this point in time. Mansion Lord Li, please settle the bill for those weapons you owe me. What? You changed suppliers? Don't stop me, I'm going to chop up those yellow chickens who stole my business.
Seven Elegance Abbey? Well, I've only heard of Lady Gongsun. Koi fish, can they bring good luck? Hey, handsome guy over there, want to go out?
Pure Yang? Isn't there supposed to be a Huashan Sect on Mount Hua? What the heck are those silly sheep? Lü Dongbin, hasn't this guy become an immortal yet?
Valley of a Hundred Flowers? Well, I've only heard of places like Medicine King Valley. Long, straight black hair? Aren't those all scheming types?
Looking at it this way, this world really is strange.
Watching the Jianghu grow more and more chaotic, Liu Xiyan thought that. But aside from sorting out the manor's problems, it would be better to find his taciturn, secretly sentimental father a girlfriend. He didn't know who his mother was, but he absolutely couldn't let his father stay single forever. Luckily, he was different. Ordinary kids would have been starved for affection ages ago, right?
According to the gossip he'd bought from the Hidden Yuan Society, a woman named Tang Shuyan was his father's first love. She seemed like a decent person, so he would just go and bring her back first. What? The Tang Sect wouldn't agree? Then he'd fight until they did. Tang Aotian wasn't exactly a good person anyway.
Liu Jinghai: My idiot son ran off and brought his mother back.
Tang Shuyan: My idiot son has such poor people skills. Can he really find himself a wife?
Liu Xiyan: Sorry, I only like cute boys.
At long last, the An Lushan Rebellion was over, and he could go home and enjoy his retirement, then flirt with the handsome guys at Seven Elegance Abbey. But perhaps he'd been cursed by one of those handsome guys. He had gone to Wind and Thunder Blade Valley to forge a blade, but somehow ended up turned back into a baby.
What a pity about those handsome guys at Seven Elegance Abbey. Still, judging by experience, no world is short of cute guys. Hmm, that's decided, then.
But first things first: he had to be born.
