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.
