The turbulent struggle for the throne, the step-by-step reforms to weaken the power of the princes, the glorious moment of the Yongle Encyclopedia, the manipulation of the world by changing the capital, the pacification of the internal and external affairs, all the events, big and small, cannot erase his shadow or cover up his footprints. The early Ming Dynasty was a period of constant turmoil. It was an era of receding instability, yet a group of heroes and ruthless figures stirred history, propelling the Ming Dynasty's rule to its first peak! In such a historical context, how did an ordinary person from modern times manage to manipulate events, intervene in such turbulent times, and achieve his own quiet brilliance?

Imagine traveling back to the 40th year of the Wanli Emperor's reign, wanting both to indulge in pleasure and to directly save the nation. Yes, it's a story full of intrigue and contradictions. Late Ming Dynasty, Jiangnan, a decadent prosperity; the elegance of *Cai Gen Tan*, the vulgarity of *Jin Ping Mei*; an old monk engaging in commerce, a famous courtesan worshipping Buddha; Yuan Hongdao expressing his spirit through tea and flower arranging, Li Zhuowu brewing wine, meditating, and continuing the burning of books; Dong Qichang, a master of both calligraphy and painting, yet a local tyrant; Zhang Zongzi, a young playboy, dreaming of West Lake in his old age; the refined see elegance, the vulgar see vulgarity. To find truly remarkable figures, look to the present (accompanied by a certain classic gesture).

In the spring of the fifth year of the Qingli era, Fan Zhongyan's reforms failed, and Fu Bi was demoted. Teng Zijing rebuilt Yueyang Tower, Ouyang Xiu was dead drunk, Han Xianggong remained handsome and wealthy, and Wen Yanbo became a complete shrew. Di Qing became an idol for the common people of the Song Dynasty, while the stubborn Prime Minister and Sima Niu had just started working. Bao Zheng was not yet qualified to sit in Kaifeng Prefecture, Su Dongpo was losing his baby teeth, and Emperor Renzong was trying to have a baby... As if by divine arrangement, the most outstanding individuals of the Song Dynasty and even the entire Chinese nation all gathered in this era to make their grand entrance. This was the most magnificent, brilliant, enlightened, and free era; even the air itself was intoxicating. But in another sixty years, this enchanting era will be destroyed under the iron hooves of foreign races... What is the reason for this, and is there any possibility of it escaping unscathed? A butterfly, traversing a thousand years of time and space, arrives in this dazzling era, taking you through the bustling city life, leading you to "the moon rising above the willow branches, a rendezvous after dusk," letting you drink and chat with the best of the best, and helping you find all the answers. I wonder how much change he can bring to this world by flapping his tiny wings...

Curator note

Counting the heroes, discussing success and failure, a century is but a dream, full of generosity and ambition, striving to save the nation from collapse, even if it brings a torrent of infamy after death. Taking life and death lightly, valuing rise and fall, braving the storms and tempests alone. Who doesn't wish for the Great Wall to stand forever, yet who can foresee the sorrowful waters flowing eastward to the sea?

An insignificant son-in-law of a merchant family was living a carefree life, completely irresponsible, focused solely on eating and watching performances... The novel of the same name as the popular TV series starring Guo Qilin and Song Yi.
