The Little Conman of the Tang Dynasty

Summer, the eighth year of Zhenguan! Li Shimin gets drunk and dances with his sword, determined to become an emperor for the ages, unmatched by anyone before him. But that year, a plague ravages Guanzhong. The sound of face-slapping echoes through the Taiji Palace, its reverberations lingering in the air…

That year, among hundreds and thousands of plague victims upstream of the Yong’an Canal, a boy named Li Erxiao survives. With him, a tale called “The Old Man with the White Beard” is born in the Tang Dynasty.

And because of this outlandish tale, he has no choice but to… bring glory to the Tang Dynasty.
