The Top Scholar

In the winter of the second year of Chongzhen, Lin Bei arrived in this world through soul transmigration, bringing ten pieces of survival equipment with him. To stay alive, he led the Lin clan in hunting tigers, only to find that the “tigers” kept multiplying. Forced onto the military examination track, he became the Ming Dynasty’s first top military graduate.

He cut down Kong Youde, the Ming Dynasty’s first rebel general, only to discover that the empire was suffering from a rampant “tiger plague,” with one man capable of facing ten thousand tigers. While home observing mourning rites, he set out from southern China and traveled north. In Nanjing, he backed a young emperor and formed a new cabinet, embarking on the path to save China.

When he reached the supreme throne and looked up again, the overseas Mao Bears, Tall Chickens, Curry Elephants, Shaking Bulls, and others had all come to visit, and fallen to their knees. The Ming Dynasty once had no map marking the borders. From now on, there would be no borders either: wherever the sun and moon shine shall be Chinese territory.
