The Scroll Keeper of the Late Tang Dynasty

Zhu Rui, a modern armed police officer, suddenly transmigrated to the reign of Emperor Xianzong of Tang. He became the son of Zhu Mian, a garrison commander in Zhuozhou under the Lulong Military Governor. The Tang Dynasty had long since lost its former splendor. The government was corrupt, regional governors ruled as warlords, and foreign powers circled the Central Plains, while the people struggled amid fire and flood.

Zhu Rui had hoped to use his modern knowledge and armed-police skills to find a safe haven in this chaotic age. But he never expected this to be a high-martial Tang Dynasty, where warriors could split mountains and rivers with a single blow and wield the strength of a thousand jun. The forces in Zhuozhou were weak, and no matter how hard Zhu Rui trained, he could not withstand the devastating might of high-level warriors.

At the brink of despair, a mysterious book quietly awakened deep within Zhu Rui's sea of consciousness. Its pages held every martial hero from the legends and histories of China, past and present, including those from unofficial histories. Fulfill certain conditions, and he could summon them into the world.

At last, Zhu Rui had the means to turn the tide of this chaotic age. He climbed to high places, hoping to see the lights of countless homes shining through the night. He traveled across mountains and rivers, longing to see pastoral songs endure. He hoped children could grow up strong and carefree, women be spared humiliation, and the elderly find a peaceful end. With this foul world engulfed in flames of war, he would take up his sword, quell the chaos, and restore peace to the realm.
