In the seventeenth year of the Kaihuang era, I wrote my will in the examination hall.

A history student is transported to the late Kaihuang era, becoming a tragic grandson of the emperor. Without a system or divine power, he possesses only the prophetic ability to know this period of history intimately. The imperial court is a chessboard, and the common people are pawns. The powerful clans of Guanzhong, the gentry of Shandong, the princes vying for the throne… all are caught in his trap. Witness how a modern soul, using the most hardcore historical knowledge, moves the gears of fate under the shadow of the empire's peak, writing a brand new epic of the Sui Dynasty.
