Synopsis:Tan Zong, a modern man, dies unjustly, but his soul remains. Accidentally, he is transported to a strange historical era, inhabiting Lin Fu, a newly qualified scholar from the branch family of the Lin clan in Dongyang Prefecture. Lin Fu is weak in character, and looked down upon by others.Before he could realize his dreams of an idle scholar, such as gambling, dog-walking, bird-raising, and teasing young women, Lin Fu is drawn into a whirlpool of beauty contests, centered around Su Mei, a stunning courtesan in Jiangning. This vortex involves powerful figures such as contemporary celebrities, local magnates, powerful eunuchs in the imperial court, separatist warlords, and fierce pirates from the East Sea.Unwilling to be a peaceful dog, nor to become a wanderer in a time of chaos, how will Lin Fu, with two lifetimes within him, turn the tide, starting from the bottom of the pyramid of power? In a life filled with the 'fragrance' of 'where one understands, inside the skirt is the yearning', can he complete the magnificent transformation from a 'minister of a peaceful era' to a 'warlord of a chaotic era'?
