He's a veterinarian who somehow winds up in ancient times. On battlefields ravaged by war and in plague zones gripped by disease, he puts his skills to work, using modern veterinary knowledge to spark a medical revolution. He's also a crooked businessman, with all kinds of harebrained schemes for raking in money: building guns, selling smuggled salt, digging canals. If there's profit to be made, he wants in. At the same time, he's a Chinese nationalist, driven by a burning passion to rebuild a powerful Chinese empire.
Historical figures like Huang Taiji, Yuan Chonghuan, and the Chongzhen Emperor leap from the page, recast with different personalities and appearances to reinterpret that particular period of history. The story turns history on its head, depicting the social, economic, and cultural landscape of the Ming Dynasty as the author imagines it, as well as the ugliness and nobility of human nature. This work has drawn its share of criticism and endured all kinds of hardships. After all, the veterinarian is only human, not perfect. He's a womanizer, but he cares deeply for those he loves; he likes to brag, but he's willing to admit when he's wrong; he's greedy, but he knows when to stop. He has all the flaws of an ordinary man, yet also a sincere and kind heart.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“I have no experience!” That's what Asen always says. But what exactly does he need experience in? Love? Adventure? Or building a vast empire?
