Late Northern Song: Watching the Jingkang Catastrophe with Cold Eyes

Reborn at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, with chaos on the horizon.

I want to survive. I want to protect myself. I want to stroll calmly through these turbulent times.

A beggar, with roots as fragile as duckweed, where can he go from here?

I'll build the Song Dynasty's entertainment industry, using the officials' decadent indulgence and the empire's lavish entertainments to rake in money and build up my reserves.

I'll build a powerful army and keep it ready at all times.

When your wicked deeds have run their course and you finally reap what you've sown,

I will raze your strongholds and restore peace and justice to the land.
