About This Novel

Lin Zhao, a student of the Department of History, woke up and became a precarious boy from a poor family in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. This was the worst of times: the Khitan cavalry marched south, their bones exposed in the wild; the vassal towns were divided and there was a melee, and there was no rooster crow for thousands of miles. The world hangs upside down, and human lives are like grass. This is also the best of times: the old order has collapsed and the new order has not yet been formed. As an "outlier" who knows the rise and fall of the next hundred years, how can he stay out of it? In Jinling, he helped the envoys of the Southern Tang Dynasty fulfill their mission; in Bianliang, he offered advice to Chai Rong and became famous in the Battle of Gaoping; in the troubled times, he finally chose to stand by Zhao Kuangyin's side and deeply participated in the "Chenqiao Mutiny" that ended the troubled times. When King Qian Hongchu of Wuyue handed over the map of mountains and rivers and fulfilled the eternal righteousness of "returning the land to the Song Dynasty", it was his shadow behind him. From protecting oneself, to supporting the Ming Lord, to helping the world and bringing peace to the people. When everything was settled, the once poor boy finally became a national warrior, assisting the new dynasty and ushering in a truly peaceful and prosperous era. This is his legend and an epic of an era.
