They could challenge the emperor and shower him with spittle, or show up at court in disheveled clothes without a care. They didn’t have to call themselves slaves and their ruler master, or sob that “if the ruler wants his subject dead, the subject has no choice but to die.” Instead, they could answer the emperor with righteous convi

- 2 Elegant Dissipation 雅骚 He transmigrates to the forty-first year of the Wanli reign, hoping both to eat, drink, and be merry and to save the country by taking the most direct route. That’s right: this is a story full of zest and contradictions. The late Ming, Jiangnan, and the splendor of a world on the brink; the refinement of "The Roots of Wisdom" and the vulgarity of "The Plum in the Golden Vase"; an old monk in business and a famous courtesan worshipping Buddha.

Books I Like
I recommend books from every genre, and my tastes are pretty broad. I especially love sci-fi, mecha, urban fantasy, magic, transmigration, and gaming! I’m pretty picky about what I read.
