Lin Ji died.
Years later, when he returned to the world of the living,
he faced not only a nation on the brink of ruin, but also a cataclysm that threatened to destroy the entire world.
The line between dawn and dusk stretched across mountains and rivers, dividing the land in two forever.
What that line divided
was day and night, yin and yang, life and death.
But the end of that line was never the end.
It was the starting point of the next dawn.
Liang Heng was incredibly cute as a child.
Lin Ji couldn't keep his hands to himself and gave him a pinch.
The child teared up, so Lin Ji had to rack his brains to cheer him up.
Many years later, Lin Ji died.
Many more years passed, and Liang Heng grew up to become emperor.
Reborn, Lin Ji hadn't changed a bit. He couldn't keep his hands to himself again.
The consequences were dire, and the emperor cried.
In a moment of panic after causing trouble, Lin Ji once again committed the crime of deceiving the sovereign.
An alternate world setting.
Technology at the level of the early twentieth century, with a low-magic world setting.
