Wang Wenlong, a graduate of classical Chinese literature, transmigrated to the Ming Dynasty in the twenty-seventh year of the Wanli reign. He couldn't write the eight-legged essay or fight a war.
Fortunately, publishing was flourishing in the Ming Dynasty, so Wang Wenlong had to copy books to make ends meet.
Unexpectedly, he soon produced one masterpiece after another, earning fame throughout the land: The Scholars, Dream of the Red Chamber, Illustrated Treatise on the Maritime Kingdoms...
Eunuchs sought to recruit him, members of the Donglin faction praised his erudition, and missionaries discovered he knew more about the Age of Exploration than Europeans. Before he knew it, Wang Wenlong had begun to change the course of history.
