In the twenty-eighth year of Jiajing, twenty-six years have passed since Zhu Houcong came into contact with Taoism.
This year, Yan Song had just executed his fellow villager and benefactor Xia Yan, and began his political career as the sole ruler of the court.
This year, young Hai Rui had just won the imperial examination and was preparing to make great achievements in order to repay the emperor's favor.
This year, Datong in the north fell under the attack of Ada Khan.
This year, the southern coast was plagued by Japanese pirates.
It was also this year that Fang Yuan came to this strange era.
An emperor who ignored government affairs and devoted himself to cultivating mysteries.
A leader who forms cliques for personal gain and suppresses dissidents.
A group of officials who have nothing to do with their bodies.
And all kinds of internal and external troubles make up this fucked up world.
Looking at this dying dynasty, Fang Yuan did not want the last afterglow of the Han people to dissipate.
He wanted to take a gamble with God who sent him here!
