The Fallen Song

Zhao Yi, a young man from the modern era, transmigrates to the Northern Song in the third year of Yuanfu and is reborn as Emperor Qinzong, Zhao Huan. At the time, Cai Jing and Tong Guan are on the verge of seizing power at court, the Flower and Rock Tribute is wreaking havoc across Jiangnan, the court is mired in corruption, and the people are seething with resentment. Zhao Yi opens his eyes in his swaddling clothes and begins laying his plans. Drawing on the knowledge and wisdom of his previous life, he quietly sets reforms in motion. He makes his mark as a child prodigy, studying literature and martial arts from an early age and modeling himself on Emperor Taizu of Song, determined to pacify the four corners of the realm. Under the pretext of military exercises, he reorganizes the imperial guard and improves the army's fighting ability, while secretly keeping an eye on unrest among the people. He crushes Liangshan, captures Fang La, and secures the Song Dynasty. At his coming-of-age ceremony, he faces a Jin envoy and cries out in a child's voice, “The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun must be won back by the iron hooves of our army!” The strength of his resolve leaves everyone stunned. After more than a decade of secret struggles within the palace, he eliminates the Six Bandits and takes control of grain policy, turning the humiliation of Jingkang into a symbol of rebirth. In this life, Yue Fei will never be framed with fabricated charges, and Li Gang will get the chance to show what he can do. As for Qin Hui... Zhao Yi will make sure he meets a miserable end. Before the Jin cavalry can even ride south, fiery kites light up the skies over Bianliang. The young emperor points his sword north and vows to rebuild the realm: “In this life, I shall rebuild these lands!”
