Is there a perfect time travel in this world
Yes, Yang Wan is the lucky one.
It is said that ten years of academic study is followed by ten years of blood and tears. Yang Wan chose an inhuman path and went all the way to the dark. She and a eunuch named "Deng Ying" from the Ming Dynasty fought unilaterally in a pile of old papers for ten years.
Deng Ying is a very magical figure in the history of the Ming Dynasty. It is said that he had a handsome appearance, but he had a leg disease after being tortured. When the disease flared up, he often had difficulty walking.
However, apart from the numerous compliments he received on his appearance, this person was basically described as worse than pigs and dogs in other aspects.
When the people of the Qing Dynasty were compiling the "History of Ming Dynasty", they wished they could attribute all the vicious words in the world to him.
However, Yang Lun, a cabinet minister during the Zhenning period of the Ming Dynasty, later referred to Deng Ying as a "close friend" in his own collection of essays.
It is true that historical materials are vast, but the deceased are always virtual images.
Yang Wan's academic career was one of hard work. She finally graduated with a doctorate at the age of 28 and completed her own academic work, "Biography of Deng Ying."
But this process is extremely difficult.
Deng Ying has always been classified as a treacherous official in the Ming Dynasty together with Wang Zhen and Wang Zhi.
The academic community's characterization of this person was formed as early as the historical research in the Republic of China period. Later scholars also mostly followed this view and continued to extend it from their own perspectives.
But Yang Wan disagreed.
She used Yang Lun's evaluation of Deng Ying as a breakthrough point, and has been trying to find the real traces of this person's life from the already rigorous historical materials and discussions.
His achievements in architecture, his life in the inner palace, his beliefs in being a human being... in every aspect, he not only supplemented his predecessors, but also subverted them.
She felt extremely lonely doing academic research for more than ten years.
When I was writing "The Biography of Deng Ying", I was almost single-handedly fighting against the ideas of the entire academic community.
The manuscripts were rejected again and again, and the major thesis also went through many twists and turns before and after it was submitted for review.
Fortunately, she finally graduated with strength.
Like many female PhDs who lie down and kick their legs in the arms of academia, this process of self-abuse allowed Yang Wan to taste the ultimate pleasure of communicating with a paper man across a world, and Deng Ying's life was almost stripped away by her, even to the point of leaving her underwear.
Yang Wan also believed that this man's ups and downs in officialdom and his interpersonal relationships should have been fully covered in the book. It was a pity that his love history was missing. Although there were vague shadows of him in various unreliable documents, there was really no truth to be found.
Yang Wan felt regretful about this, and God seemed to feel regretful too.
So on the day when "The Biography of Deng Ying" was published, Yang Wan traveled through time in a very simple manner at an academic conference.
The twelfth year of Zhenning was the year when the Biography of Deng Ying began.
Yang Wan wrote in the first chapter: "The 12th year of Zhenning was a turning point in the history of the Ming Dynasty. Deng Yi, the chief minister of the cabinet, was beheaded. The Ming Dynasty, which had been in a long night, finally saw a glimmer of light. It is hard to say whether Deng Ying's life ended or began in this year."
If Yang Wan were given another chance, she would definitely not write this beginning in such a pretentious and boring way.
She needs to change her writing style and write as follows:
"In the twelfth year of Zhenning, in the torture chamber of Nanhaizi, Deng Ying had a huge misunderstanding about me. He thought I was the only woman in the world who had not given up on his remaining life. In fact, I was just a female pervert in the academic world who was trying to get first-hand information from him."
