In the fourth year of Zhenghe, Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, lay at death’s door. The aftermath of the Witchcraft Disaster had yet to settle, and the Han dynasty stood on the brink of collapse.
Fang Zhiyou, a modern history PhD, transmigrates into Weiyang Palace with a mysterious System and takes over the emperor’s body, trading life for life.
“Your Majesty, you have only one breath left.”
“I’ll give you a century of fortune for the empire. What will you give me in exchange?”
Fang Zhiyou opens his eyes. Gone is the emperor’s dim, weary gaze; in its place is the calm and ruthless resolve of a transmigrator and an emperor. “I’ll trade a hundred years of my life for another century for the Han dynasty! I’ll abolish oppressive policies, quell internal strife, cow the Xiongnu, and open the Silk Road... From this day on, I am not just Liu Che. I am the guardian of two thousand years of Chinese civilization!”
The System’s shop can turn stone into gold; knowledge from the future will bring sweeping reform.
Watch as this emperor with a modern soul turns the tide when all seems lost, saves a collapsing empire, and raises the Han dynasty to new heights!
Outside the window, dusk falls. On the glazed tiles of Weiyang Palace, the last trace of afterglow is dissipating. But deep in this ancient palace, a storm that will change the course of Chinese history has just begun to brew. Outside the window, dusk falls.

A new era has begun. How would Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty turn things around with modern knowledge and two thousand years of historical experience? And what role will that mysterious "system" play in it?
