This land is inhabited by dragons. Dragons come in all shapes and sizes, some roaming the rivers and seas, some soaring over high mountains, some hiding in the netherworld, and some leaping among the clouds. Once it rises up, it can swallow the wind and bring down snow, divert rivers and streams, unleash thunder and spew fire, and divide mountains and avoid the sea. Dragons also exist in this human world. A dragon among men, possessing lofty ambitions, brilliant strategies, the capacity to encompass the universe, and the will to swallow the heavens and earth. When the opportunity arises, one can turn the tide, determine the course of events, establish one's dominance, and prove oneself to be a dragon among men. As a lost time traveler, Zhang Xing initially wanted to become a dragon, but later he found that the industry was too corrupt, so he decided to change careers and become a dragon among dragons. The saying goes, "Travel the world's roads to make the world accessible everywhere, and dismiss all dragons so that everyone in the world can become a dragon." This is a cliché time-travel story.

Curator note

This is a world where scholars wield the power of heaven and earth. With talent, one can kill enemies with poetry, annihilate armies with lyrics, and bring peace to the world with prose. A scholar can strategize on paper; a successful candidate in the provincial examination can compose poems and write essays; and a candidate in the imperial examination can engage in heated debates. When a sage arrives, he can condemn people with words and writings, punish individuals, and judge the emperor as tyrannical, making one a match for an entire nation. At this time, the Holy Academy held the civil service positions, the monarch held the official positions, ten kingdoms were vying for power, barbarian tribes were eyeing the country covetously, and demons were causing chaos. At this time, there was no flourishing of Tang poetry, no golden age of Song lyrics, no innovative writing, and no new sages for a hundred years. An unknown, poor boy, after having his head smashed, embarked on the path to sainthood, carrying with him timeless poems and astonishing writings.

Qin Ge transmigrated and became Qin Er Shi. The Qin Dynasty was only one month away from its demise. He also discovered that it was an incredible fantasy world. Confucius traveled to various states, wrote the Spring and Autumn Annals, defeated countless enemies with his pen, debated the world with his words, stabilized the world with his righteous spirit, proved the Way through Confucianism, and finally became the sage. Lao Tzu once rode an ox westward, and purple clouds came from the east. He summoned wind and rain, and turned beans into soldiers. He wrote a magnificent 5,000-year history. He ascended to immortality, which shocked the world. He is known as the ancestor of Taoism. In ancient India's Mauryan dynasty, Siddhartha Gautama attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, ultimately founding Mahayana Buddhism. Even further back, in ancient Egypt, pharaohs enslaved millions of people to build pyramids and conducted mysterious and clandestine rituals. Qin Ge must survive against all odds, first dealing with the unfathomable Zhao Gao, then defeating the true dragon Liu Bang and the overlord Xiang Yu, ultimately leading Chinese civilization on a winning streak to dominate the world!
