For the glorious Tang Dynasty, the An Lushan Rebellion was not the end of its shameful history, but the beginning of its transformation. The mid-to-late Tang Dynasty not only ushered in a new era for China over the next five hundred years, but it is also one of the most rigidly understood terms. Was it a period of political decline? Regional separatism? Foreign aggression? Intense factional strife? Is that all? No. Emperor Suzong returned home after Consort Yang's death. Though the clouds and rain are gone, the sun and moon shine anew! Gao Ziyang, a screenwriter struggling in modern times, is transported to the twelfth year of the Dali era of Emperor Daizong of the Tang Dynasty due to a seemingly insignificant accident. He acquires the identity of Gao Yue, a student at the Imperial Academy, and prepares to take the exam to become a civil servant in the Tang Dynasty. Before him lies a Tang Dynasty whose golden age has passed but which remains ever new. Thus, a scroll depicting the rise and fall of dynasties unfolds slowly. I, Gao Ziyang, am not being modest. Passing the imperial examination is a must, marrying a woman from one of the five noble families is a must, entering the government office is a must, and serving as a military governor in various towns is also a must. And those troublemakers from the southeast, northwest, and all directions are to be beaten up...
