The Old Palace of the Long Wind

Shen Yan, who holds dual degrees in law and economics, transmigrates to the Great Yong Dynasty, where powerful clans monopolize influence and deep-rooted abuses lurk beneath the surface. A scholar from a humble family, he sees that official honors can be bought and sold, leaving the common people with no way forward. Bringing a modern mindset to the game, he amasses wealth through commerce and plays his moves in the imperial court. He laughs off the backward customs of the age even as he gradually pries open its rigid old order. He has no interest in power for its own sake; he only wants to set things right and bring reform. Watch as one poor scholar stirs up a gale that sweeps across the dynasty.
