When Zaiyu awoke from his sleep, he gained memories from two thousand years in the future. His teacher was Confucius, the teacher of all ages; his classmates were the seventy-two disciples of Confucius, including Zigong, Zilu, Yan Hui, and Ran Qiu… He converses with learned scholars and has no dealings with uncultured people. Zai Yu lamented his ill-fated life, noting that even in the Spring and Autumn Period, the internal competition was still so severe. But what he didn't know was that in this life, he would wash away the stigma of being "uncarved wood". He was one of the ten philosophers of Confucius' school, a famous scholar among famous scholars of various states, and the teacher of Wu Qi. Confucius exclaimed that he was a pillar of the state, Sun Tzu proclaimed him invincible, Wu Zixu was his lifelong enemy, Gu Bu Ziqing was astonished as a celestial being, and Zhao Wuxu sought him but could not find him. My name is Zaiyu, and this is the story of a troll living in the pre-Christian era.
