In the thirteenth year of the Chenghua reign of the Ming Dynasty, Fang Yingwu, a history graduate student, transmigrated into the body of a scholar. This is an era in which a shut-in casually reigns as emperor. This is an era without authority. This was also an era where loyalty and treachery, good and evil, black and white were clearly distinguished. This was an era when the country faced no major threats and could be governed by doing nothing. This was also an era of lax law and discipline and lazy official conduct. This was an era that transitioned from high-pressure suppression to a more relaxed and liberating one. This was also an era that transitioned from frugality and simplicity to extravagance and ostentation. Amidst verdant mountains and clear waters, a dream spanning five hundred years begins, and the legend of the wondrous time traveler commences.

Emperor Xiaozong revitalized the Ming Dynasty, while Emperor Zhengde was a dissolute and irresponsible young man. Scholars were passionate but empty talk about the country, while the secret police and imperial guards were like tigers and wolves. In an era where opportunities and crises coexisted, amidst the bustling prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, a young man named Qin Kan stirred up a pool of spring water. When he committed evil deeds with an elegant and refined demeanor, the definition of "gentleman" in the hearts of the civil officials, military generals, and eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty was finally completely overturned.

[A work signed by the fourth editorial team of Qidian.com] Five great joys in life: Seeing all the world's beauties, hearing all the world's wonderful sounds, wearing the finest clothes, and hearing the most wonderful words—this is the greatest joy. With tripods displayed in front of the hall, music played behind the hall, guests filling the seats, and the shadows of flowers shimmering on their robes, this is the second greatest joy. The house houses ten thousand volumes of books, and more than ten close friends compose poems to compete with each other; this is the third joy. To spend a fortune to buy a boat, with music and a few concubines, to drift on the water, oblivious to the approach of old age—this is the fourth pleasure. More than ten years later, his family fortune was gone, he was in a sorry state, living hand to mouth, begging for alms in brothels, sharing meals with the elderly and orphans, and visiting his fellow villagers without any shame. This was the fifth kind of happiness.
