The Tang Dynasty Rises Again: Starting with the Unification of the Western Regions

The good news: I transmigrated as a descendant of the Tang imperial family. The bad news: it's the late Northern Song dynasty. My Tang royal ancestry is useless, and even the imperial exams are out of reach.

The good news: I found a woman who loves me as much as I love her, and she's none other than Li Qingzhao, the greatest female poet in history.

The bad news: her father disapproves.

So Li Jin sold off his family estate and fled far to the Western Regions. There, he raised an army and gradually expanded his forces, eventually fighting his way back to the Central Plains.

If you won't let me pass the exams in Bianliang, I'll fight my way into Bianliang. If you stand in the way of my marriage, I'll make you deliver her to me yourselves.

Emperor Huizong of Song: “I'll give Li Jin whatever he wants. Send him my daughter too.”
