The Northern Song Defeat: I Decide Fate with Mental Calculation

Transmigrating as a discarded member of the Northern Song imperial clan, Zhao Chengyuan is trapped in a whirlpool of power struggles. Emperor Huizong is fatuous, Cai Jing corrupts the government, and the court is in chaos. Without power or influence, he is mocked as 'the shame of the clan.' Fortunately, he has a golden finger—mental calculation that can deduce all things like a god. Humiliated at the Imperial Academy, he astounds everyone with a flood control equation. From then on, he wields the counting rod as a sword, breaking corruption, reforming the imperial examinations, and calculating military strategies. Step by step, he stirs the court situation. Outwitting powerful ministers, he uncovers the secrets of the imperial genealogy; planning border defenses, he stabilizes the Yellow River. As a mere commoner, he shakes the chessboard of the world. Calculating the secrets of heaven, he single-handedly props up the nation.
