Synopsis:

Dreams Return to Chang’an, Blood soaked the Xuanwu Gate, and deep within the Taiji Palace only endless sorrow remained. “The people are like water, and the ruler is like the boat,” the resounding words still echoed across the land of Chang’an. Yet, the iron hooves of foreign invaders once again trampled over the Yumen Pass. How could this hatred ever be alleviated?

What furious roar would Li Shimin, buried in his tomb, make upon seeing his people suffering so? With rails struck down, all that is left to witness is the sinking of the Nine Provinces!

His chest is also filled with frustration, unable to transcend the river of history, pluck the stars from the sky, seize the sun and moon, and turn the world upside down.

But alas, he hears the ghostly cries from outside the window, the autumn rain swirling. He picks up a bald brush and, with it, writes about the prosperous Tang dynasty, erasing the dark parts. My Tang dynasty has no sorrow, only the passion of golden spears and iron horses, emperors who swallow the sun and moon, valiant generals drenched in blood after a hundred battles, noble scholars with high hats and wide sashes, gentle and virtuous empresses, filial sons and loving fathers, a flourishing era that stretches on. This is my Tang dynasty, my Tang Zhuan.

Yun Ye had always thought of himself as someone who was incredibly homesick. Even if he were placed on Mars, he would kidnap Martians and have them send him back to Earth. But now, he faced a problem. How could he get back from the second year of the Zhenguan era to the year 2010? The entire Tang Dynasty was a massive pit—Li Er tricked him, Li Chengqian tricked him, the demon tricked him, even the Bull Demon King tricked him. Even the wise and virtuous Empress Zhangsun tricked him. There were no good people in the entire court of the Tang dynasty! But life had to go on. He had an elderly grandmother to care for and eight younger sisters to arrange dowries for. As a high-ranking noble, Yun Ye felt like the pressure of the world was on his shoulders.
