The Great Song’s deep-rooted weakness and poverty are problems that have persisted for generations. Cao Tun is selfish by nature and indifferent to the fate of the nation. He has no interest in saving the country or worrying about its people. All he wants is to live comfortably as a scholar-official and make sure his family never has to suffer alongside him again.
Then one day, his aunt, Empress Cao, informs him that she is actually his mother.
The reigning emperor is his father.
And after he cleans himself up and enters the palace, he is to become the Crown Prince.
Wait.
So my surname is Zhao?
Does that mean the blame for the Great Song’s failures is going to land on my shoulders?
Cao Tun… no, Zhao Tun, glances at the formidable gathering of literary giants watching him from behind. Muttering, “Even time travel can’t save the Great Song,” he rolls over like a lazy salted fish and continues lying flat.
…
Until one day, Zhao Tun discovers that his brother-in-law Di Zheng and his younger uncle Cao You, figures who never existed in recorded history, are also transmigrators.
Silently, he shakes the salt from his body and struggles to his feet.
To commemorate the bouquet of flowers he once laid before the tombs of Xin Qiji and Yue Fei in his previous life, Zhao Tun decides to stop lying flat and make an effort.
Perhaps he can even challenge the entire court of literary giants head-on.
