Transmigrate to the Song Dynasty: I Met Li Qingzhao

In the third year of Yuanfeng in the Northern Song dynasty (1080), the protagonist Yang Xiaochen is born and betrothed as a child to the daughter of his father’s friend. One night, when Yang Xiaochen is three and a half, a white-haired, white-bearded old man appears in his dream. He says he wants to take Yang Xiaochen as his disciple, teach him martial arts, and help him transmigrate more than nine hundred years into the future to study in the modern era. After graduating from university, Yang Xiaochen returns to the Song dynasty. He defeats the greatest fighter of the age, kills three thousand Liao soldiers in Liao territory and shakes the world with his might, then saves Emperor Huizong, Zhao Ji. In reward, he receives development rights to Jiapu Town in Changxing County, Huzhou. Using modern technology, he transforms the town into a modern community that attracts wealthy people from across the Song dynasty. He becomes one of the richest men in the land, marries his childhood betrothed, Luo Xuefei, and later takes Su Qingyan as a concubine. Yang Xiaochen’s fame draws the visit of Li Qingzhao, the greatest female poet of all time. Her first visit is in 1105, when the court orders the children of the Yuanyou faction not to live in Kaifeng. Forced to part from her husband, Zhao Mingcheng, Li Qingzhao returns to Mingshui Town and visits Yang Xiaochen in Jiapu Town to relieve her boredom. Her second visit comes after the Jingkang Incident, while she and her husband are fleeing south to escape the fighting. On her third visit, Li Qingzhao has been swindled out of her money and seduced by Zhang Ruzhou. Furious, she divorces him and is imprisoned for nine days. After her release, she runs into Yang Xiaochen. In September 1129, the Jin army marches south to capture Zhao Gou. Yang Xiaochen organizes a volunteer army to resist them and wins. After the Song and Jin sign the Shaoxing Treaty, Yang Xiaochen withdraws into the mountains with his wife and concubine.
