[Historical Transmigration · Fantasy · Strange Tales]
At the end of the Qin Dynasty, the realm is in chaos and the land is in turmoil.
Li Shuai was a struggling writer in his previous life. On the very first day after he transmigrated, he was tied to a spit and nearly eaten by a band of starving savages.
He killed a few Xiongnu and, along the way, rescued an auspicious creature: a little fox.
A jade token bearing an official tally proved his identity, and he was taken back in by over a hundred households of retainers from Wu'an, who had been waiting for their "young master."
With the chaos at the end of the Qin Dynasty approaching, he plans to fall back on his old trade and tell stories to survive the troubled times.
Then he discovers that the stories he makes up actually come true! He tells a tale of a weasel spirit seeking a title, and a weasel demon appears in the mountains, seeking one for real. He tells of the Four Sages traveling west to subdue demons and monsters, and legends of demon slaying soon spread across the land.
Using the troubled times as his setting, strange tales as his substance, and human nature as his foundation, he originally only wanted to keep his head down and live through the chaos. But after an adept introduces him to a wife, he changes his mind. Since even a nine-tailed fox has appeared, why should this realm still be divided and reunified over and over? Why must old grudges like "Though Chu has but three households, Chu will surely destroy Qin" and "the old hatreds of the Six States flare up again" be reenacted across the realm? Let tales of the great Tang, mighty Han, and grand Ming enlighten the ancients, and let the teachings of the Hundred Schools contend with the path of cultivation...
What he doesn't know is that somewhere in the heavens, a pair of eyes seems to be watching this rather strange mortal world.
