A poor peasant scholar in the North, whose parents had just died and was bullied by his tribe. This identity is very stressful: as a scholar, he does not kneel when he is an official, and he has a certain social status to facilitate his actions; but he has a poor family and is under great pressure to survive. An imaginary Ming Dynasty (convenient to draw on the historical framework without being bound by real history) and the Yonghe Dynasty. Political corruption and land annexation are serious, but the commodity economy has begun to sprout and is full of opportunities.
