Synopsis

The year was 1589, the seventeenth year of the Wanli Emperor’s reign in the Ming dynasty.

Zhang Juzheng, the powerful minister, was dead. Qi Jiguang, who loved to wage war, was dead. Hai Rui, who loved to give the nobility a hard time, was dead too. The Wanli Emperor had grown tired of arguing with his ministers and shut himself away in the palace, no longer holding court. Thus began the bizarre era of “thirty years without imperial sacrifices, hunting trips, or court audiences.”

Time continued to pass. The streets and markets were prosperous and peaceful, and ordinary people were fond of telling jokes, listening to music, traveling, gambling, visiting brothels, and collecting flowers, insects, fish, and birds…

Amid the bustling crowds, no one knew that on the other side of the continent, Europeans were setting sail to explore the world. Over banquets and clinking cups, no one paid attention to Nurhaci, leader of the Jianzhou Jurchens in the far north, as he drilled his troops and coveted the Ming Empire’s vast lands.

Su Hao, a geologist from a later era, transmigrated into the body of a farm boy who had passed the scholars’ examination in Fengcheng County, Nanchang Prefecture, Jiangxi.

Watch as our Ming dynasty geographer commands the winds and clouds, building a new era of prosperity for the people and strength for the nation.

Books I Once Read Carefully

These are books I've actually read carefully.

Whether a book is good or not, recommendations and favorites on the platform can only serve as a reference. The editors behind the platform can't decide that for you, either. A book I think is good may not appeal to every reader. Everyone has their own favorite genres and authors! A boo

If Only I Could Go Back to the Way Things Were...

If history had changed, would I be a different person today? As a military enthusiast and history buff, I really want to transmigrate. I think about the unknown past and its bloody battles, the suffering of our ancestors and the raids by barbarian tribes, the first stirrings of technology and ideas, and the weight of old customs... If we could go back, perhaps the Chinese people wouldn't have endured so much hardship, and Chinese culture wouldn't have been buried under so much dust. But it's all

You might not love every book here, but there'll definitely be something to tide you over.
