The New Biography of Tang Yin

Tan Fusheng, a middle-aged scholar of the reformist faction in the late Qing Dynasty, sacrificed himself at Caishikou in Beijing in the autumn of 1898. His soul traveled back exactly 400 years to Tang Yin, who had just passed the provincial examination in Yingtian Prefecture (autumn 1498). With the experience of two lifetimes, Tan Fusheng's reformist ideas, and Tang Yin's stunning literary talent, he defies fate to avoid a life of tragedy. He enters officialdom as the third-place graduate, takes charge of the Hanlin Academy, becomes a cabinet minister and prime minister, pacifies the Japanese pirates, stabilizes the south, allies with the Mongols, and annihilates the Jurchens. He personally rebuilds the prosperous age of the Ming Dynasty, retires with success at sixty-five, and leaves his name for eternity. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: The New Biography of Tang Yin — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
