A Thousand-Year Clan, Starting by Saving Lü Zhi

A Han dynasty jade bi gives Zhou Yang, a modern history graduate, the ability to possess his Zhou ancestors after he accidentally activates it. In ghostly form, he can interfere with history. As dynasties rise and fall, he builds a family clan that endures for a thousand years, while rewriting history's regrets: A pity that Lü Zhi upheld the Han court for decades, only for the Lü clan to remain as precarious as duckweed! A pity that Sima Qian suffered disgrace and mutilation, leaving behind a chronicle written in blood! A pity that Wang Mang died wishing he'd made the well-field system flourish for generations, only for his head to hang in the marketplace as a relic of the old dynasty! A pity that Emperor Guangwu of Han unified the realm, yet failed to quell the flames of war beyond the northern deserts! A pity that Zhuge Liang's star fell over Wuzhang Plains, leaving a lifelong regret to accompany him through autumn! A pity that Yang Jian's failure to appoint a worthy heir let the splendor of the Kaihuang era vanish like smoke, leaving only flowing waters reflecting the Sui palace! A pity that Li Shimin forged the Reign of Zhenguan into the greatest golden age in history, yet could not escape the reputation of killing his brothers, forcing his father to abdicate, and taking his sister-in-law! A pity that Wu Zetian held the empire in her hands for twenty-eight years, yet her stele remained blank, unable to inscribe a woman's sorrows across the ages! A pity that Li Longji once held a golden age like an open scroll, only to lose a beauty fair as snow, leaving him with nothing but the moon over the realm reflected in his graying hair! A pity that Zhao Kuangyin donned the yellow robe at Chenqiao and unified the realm, yet never reclaimed the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, leaving an enduring regret! A pity that Yue Fei fell before the northern invaders were driven out, his loyal bones unburied beneath “Man Jiang Hong”! A pity that Zhu Yuanzhang's tender hopes for his sons were crushed, and his efforts to fend off the northern tribes came to naught, leaving only an ancient tomb weeping in the western wind! A pity that Zhu Qizhen lost his army at Tumu and returned to power through a palace coup, shamed before the loyal and righteous! A pity that Zhu Youjian exhausted himself trying to turn the tide, yet ultimately failed his ancestral realm, leaving only his lonely shadow on Coal Hill facing the setting sun!
