After transmigrating to the ancient times, Tang Shen originally wanted to start a small business, support his family, and live the rest of his life happily.

However, being cautious can only protect oneself, but cannot save lives.

If he wanted to grow his business bigger and let more people have food to eat, he could only be an official, a high official.

Tang Shen: I have a dream……
Wang Zhen: En?
Tang Shen: I have a dream. In the dream, there is a city, a kingdom that never sleeps.

Wang Zhen×Tang Shen

I will bring peace to the kingdom, calm to the four seas, a millennium in the twinkle of an eye, and songs sung to the skies.

I can't believe no one's talking about this novel.

MC Tang Shen is a PhD student who transmigrates into a poor scholar's son in a farming village. He literally starts from zero, and unlike most MCs, he initially has 0 interest in taking the imperial exams and becoming the zhuangyuan or something. He just wants to live a humble life. But things are happening in the background, and changes at court bring a respected figure to their village, who eventually takes Tang Shen as a student. Still, he doesn't think much... more>> of becoming an official, because he thinks he can do equally great things as a merchant.

Up until

Spoiler

A greatly respected official is framed for committing treason with the former crown prince, and when he is executed despite his compatriots' pleas to the throne for mercy, his cohort commit mass su*cide in scholar solidarity (including MC's teacher).

This shakes MC to the core, and he swears to find out who framed the official and why, in order to clear his teacher's name.

[collapse]

ML truly strikes you as an older character than MC (he is physically MUCH older and they only strike a chord because their mental images are similar and they are both ridiculously good at rote memorisation) and extremely intelligent. He's not a clean-cut good guy and has a reputation for being a corrupt official.

With the exception of one particular arc, I find this to be one of the most grounded transmigration historicals. It also has several complex characters (including the emperor). I got goosebumps during the final dialogue between MC and the emperor.

Basically, if you like snarky banter, political scheming and a dramatic MC without a golden finger, here it is. <<less

First, thanks to the Translator for giving us access to this rare gem. Your translation is impeccable, please don't give up. I think people will start to value this novel more when they become familiar with the plot as the chapters are posted. I'm already refreshing the page every day to see if there are any updates.

It's still too early to make a detailed review, but from this first chapter we can already have the notion that this is a novel with an intelligent and addictive plot.

If you're someone like... more>> me, highly addicted to historical plots, multidimensional characters and intelligent conversation this is the right novel for you.

But this is quality stuff, so you can't look at something like this in a superficial way. We're talking world building in an ancient time and a probably slow romance (subject to change) as is typical of this type of setting.

But, you won't know before you try.

Please support the translator and the author if you can and let's embark on what promises to be brilliant reading together. <<less
