Brief Introduction: Two lifetimes on the Immortal Mountain Road, a ten-mile peach blossom romance. A simplified version of the story: The adventures of a science student in a fantasy world. Standard Introduction: Tired of the overpowered protagonist type? Tired of gangster-like sects? —Then take a look at this book. Perhaps this will not be a very popular book. But at least, I can guarantee that I will use clean and simple language. To create a truly "ethereal" world. It depicts a group of people who truly deserve to be called "Xianxia" (a type of martial arts hero).

Curator note

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.

You! That's right, it's you. Look at yourself, what can you do? What are you capable of doing? If you were thrown into 1629 AD, the second year of the Chongzhen Emperor's reign in the Ming Dynasty, the era of Li Zicheng and Huang Taiji, could you survive? Without any cheat codes or protagonist's destiny, relying solely on your own expertise and knowledge, can you survive? The only fortunate thing is that you are not fighting alone; behind you is a collective, a collective of modern people. Come on, give it a try.
