Transmigrate to the Academy of Worthies

A transmigration, an academy, a dynasty, a revolution.

Song Zijin, a modern student, transmigrates to the Northern Song Dynasty thanks to the Nine-Leaf Lotus and meets Zhao Xici, only to walk step by step into a trap he laid long ago. A life-and-death bond at the sacred pool where the Kunlun Mountains’ dragon vein flows, heartfelt confessions in the ancient Loulan kingdom on a distant frontier, and a shocking secret at Kaifeng’s Ghost Tower...

Song Zijin: “Your surname is Zhao, so I’m destined to stand against you.”

Zhao Xici: “She doesn’t need to know how hard I’ve tried, how much I’ve suffered, or what I’ve endured.”

Shangguan Ming: “I’ll take you away to see the snow-white sands of the desert. From then on, we’ll roam the world together.”

Aili Weila: “I believed such an artful lie. But in the end, he died, and I stopped believing in everything.”

Liang Chuyuan: “If you’re safe, I can die without regret. I was young and reckless, and hurt you. Now I have nothing, and I’m only a burden to you.”

Shen Yunsong: “I once met a woman who fascinated me more than wine. Later, I realized she was nothing but a dream I had while drunk.”

Han Wen: “I brew medicine for the world, but poison for her.”

Lu Wanwan: “For more than twenty years, I’ve been a coward. Only when I hated you did I find the courage to change.”

Su Yangqing: “You might be surprised that I’ve become the person you once wanted to be. Isn’t it ironic?”

Lord Qi: “You manipulate events. I manipulate you.”
